Camp out on our 25-acre farm and animal sanctuary in the fertile valley of Preolenna, in Tassie's lovely north-west. Here, we grow sunflowers, potatos and other vegetables. We enjoy welcoming guests to camp or to stay in one of our vacation rentals on the property. And guests love staying here! They particularly enjoy the meandering bush walks that lead to lakes and hidden waterfalls. Campers have access to power and excellent sweet and soft well water, as well as toilet facilities. Access for all types of vehicles is good, with plenty of space to turn around. This is a farm animal sanctuary so guests are asked to respect animals by not cooking them here. We appreciate your respect in this regard. Japa Hill makes for a safe base to explore the region, with Boat Harbour just 30 minutes drive away and Cradle Mountain two hours away. The Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal is just 74 minutes drive away.

      Lovely views, plenty of space, access to what is needed. The animals are all amazing and the humans more so. A very wonderful family and beautiful experience. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Great for nature lovers and anyone who needs a good reboot. I love it here. Thank you all so much. :)

      Lee and his family are wonderful hosts, especially if you’re looking to be sociable! There are often backpackers also staying onsite who are very friendly and welcoming

      The farm is in a beautiful area, with expansive views and surrounded by forest. The camping site was much smaller than expected and situated next to an occupied house. Alternative sites weren't evident, although they were indicated in the description. Unfortunately it wasn't the bush camping experience we were after and we cut our stay short.

      Great spot, seemed to be an old cricket oval. Plenty of space, comfy grass if you’re in a tent and sweet little river out the back.
