This is a working farm approx 70% cleared remainder bush. Sub Alpine so the temperature can change quickly and snow, the area has quite a verity of bird and animals. There are currently 5 paddocks available no set campsites you pick your own site near mountain stream or in the bush also available is a self-contained cottage (view our separate listing for Calabash Manager's Cottage). This has 4 bedrooms bathroom and kitchen heating when required is a slow combustion wood stove very relaxing. There are no amenities for campers, please BYO and leave no trace. There is plenty of branches and wood on the ground for a fire but please no fires when fire bans in place. Dogs are OK but as we are a sheep property they must be well controlled and on a leash and not left to roam. We prefer smaller dogs. Campfires permitted when restrictions aren't in place. Plenty of firewood around to gather your own. If you want it cut it for you then buy some as an extra and add it to your order. Please check with the host on arrival regarding local fire conditions. No set areas for camping - choose when you get here. Suitable for caravans, motor homes, tents. Lots of options! No mobile phone reception if you walk around the paddock you may get a signal, If you need to contact us once you have a booking, contact us via email or landline. Temperature can change quickly and in winter you could be snowed in, so be prepared.

Calabash Manager's Cottage
A slice of Heaven !
I really enjoyed my time @ Calabash. It was great to be surrounded by sheep. I enjoyed the fireplace for 2 nights with its roaring fire. The Cottage was cosy and warm. The shower was wonderful. The cottage was well equipped. If you want a relaxing weekend this is the place for you. Tony was a lovely host and went out of his way to bring firewood and a doona for me. Thanks for having my dog and I, we really had a relaxing time. We will definately come again. Cheers Clare

Peaceful cottage on the mountain
Tony and Somsri are amazing Hosts! From the minute we arrived at the cottage, Tony made us feel at home. He told us all about the history of his farm, the cottage and his lifestyle as a sheep farmer. The cottage was very tidy and had all the basics we needed for our stay. We spent a good amount of time relaxing on the deck of the cottage looking out over the rolling hills of one of the paddocks. There was an incredible diversity of wildlife and I would recommend anyone who is a birdwatcher to not skip Calabash. I will definitely be coming back next time I am in the area.
