    Welcome to the fresh Tassie country air. Our property is located 20-25 mins south of Hobart. We have a large open green paddock skirted by a lovely creek for you to camp on. We have lots of wallabies and possums, and if you're lucky you'll get to see the local platypus in the creek. Close to the Longley Hotel which serves meals and has regular live music. 1.5km to Sandfly General Store. 10 minutes drive to a dump point.Self contained campers (you MUST have your own camp toilet here), welcome to the fresh Tassie country air. Our property is located 20-25 mins south of Hobart, with a large green paddock for you to camp on :) This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower. There is a steep drive down to the paddock, 4WD is best but have had 2WD vehicles in and out when it is dry. One single party booking at a time, keep it all to yourself or share with a group of friends/travellers.  Our paddock is skirted by a flowing creek which you can draw water from and is in a rural area. We have lots of wallabies and possums, and if you're lucky you'll get to see the local platypus! You can choose any area on the paddock to set up - in the past campers have chosen a site that gives them complete privacy.  Old Fire-pot provided or use your own.  Ideally situated between Hobart and the Huon Valley. We are Close to the Longley Hotel which serves meals and has regular live music. 1.5km to Sandfly General Store. 10 minutes drive to a dump point.  Please take your rubbish with you and be respectful of wildlife. Pets welcome.

    This is a great little spot. This was our first ever Hip Camp stay and we loved it. Jenni greeted us on arrival and was so welcoming and nothing was a drama. Nice green grass, very quiet and relaxing. We arrived to a very clean and respected place so we did our best to leave it as we found it. We will definatly be back as it was a nice close getaway for us.

    This was a great site, the creek wasn't very high but it is summer. Enough to walk in and the pups to cool off. Lovely hosts and we will be back.
