My kids did not want to leave!!! We had terrible weather which wasn’t ideal but it could not stop the fun we had with all of the beautiful animals that Ian takes care of. We woke up to beautiful donkeys at our van door, the kids helped feed the gorgeous little lambs and the goats and chickens provided lots of laughs. Such a great place to stay!

Amazing place! Ian is doing such an amazing thing out here for all the animals. Please come stop and support him. Wish I could have done the farm tour. Thank you for being so welcoming! My daughter loved the trampoline and bouncing amongst the animals!

Easy to park up the van for a night & relax on the hill amongst nature, animals & perfect views! Ian was full of knowledge about the property & Tasmania, super welcoming & we really loved learning about all the little quirky creatures on the farm & how they came into care. It truly is a beautiful thing Ian is doing for this world & as an animal lover myself it warmed my heart to hear him talk with such passion about educating others! 10/10 recommend a stay here!!!

If you love animals this is the place for you!! All the animals are free ranging around your camp, they are well looked after and clearly loved by Ian. Wally the dog is so friendly and gentle and loves a pat, he was also great with our 2!! The farm tour was a lovely walk around the farm feeding the animals and listening to Ian’s stories of the area and learning about his passion to help the animals. The views of the hills and farm land from the camp area are amazing too. If you are up to it Ian loves a hand with different things and it’s nice to contribute (there is no pressure though only if you want to). Thank you for providing such a unique experience and one to remember!!

Camping at a farm sanctuary 🐑🐐🐤
We had a lovely time camping at Eventide. The land feels open and spacious, and the sunset was beautiful. We loved being surrounded by rescue animals who are beautifully cared for by Ian. On our last day we were very lucky to see eleven baby chicks that had only just hatched. And on our final night we saw an aurora.

Our first camping trip
Im so happy to have come across eventide sanctuary for our first camping trip in our van! I was a little nervous about no power or toilet but with our trusty portaloo and switching off for a couple of days was exactly what we needed. The children have said this is their favourite place to visit and Ian is so friendly and helpful showing us around his land and the animals made it special too, we will be returned asap
