"Bush Retreat Farm Stay" is a gorgeous little farm nestled on the fringe of the Alberton West State Forest, with views of Wilsons Prom and the Strezleckie Ranges. The state forest has many walking tracks that go on for miles, perfect if you want to go horse riding, motor bike riding or mountain biking or put on a pair of comfy walking shoes to hit the many walking tracks to take in the beautiful bush setting with the occasional wallaby or kangaroo darting out of the bush across your path. We have the Great Southern Rail Trail just on our door step. It has now been completed from Nyora all the way through to Yarram. We have on of the entrances off Lanes Road. Close to all local attractions - Port Albert, Port Welshpool long jetty, Woodside's beautiful 90 mile beach, Tarra Bulga National Parks, spectacular Agnes Falls and Wilson's Prom. Our camp sites have plenty of room we don't believe in cramming too many campers on the same site, you have plenty of space. Suitable for large caravans, camper trailers, motor homes and RV's these can all can fit here easily. Sites 1 - 2 situated in a 4 acre paddock on the main farm. Perfect for small camper vans, roof top tents and motor homes. Site 3-5 situated on part of a 7 acre paddock with views of the hills and of the kangaroos that come onto the paddocks of a night out of the Alberton West State Forest. This site is perfect for larger vans, RV's, camper vans, roof top tents, motor homes. Campfires are permitted (When there are no fire bans). No loud music, bring a camping toilet with you and take all rubbish with you. You'll need to have your own amenities/be FULLY- self contained however if you don't have your own toilet, camp shower or fire pit you can hire them. We have an abundance of native birds on our property. Rosella's, Kookaburras, Wedge Tail Eagles and sometimes Galah's. Just down the paddock on dawn and dusk we have a mob of kangaroos that come out of the bush to graze.

Would Recommend!

Colin & Sharyn were very helpful and their property was the perfect getaway for us for the long weekend. The sunrises and the lack of noise were both highlights. The paddocks and the farm animals were gorgeous, next time i'll have to bring a horse with me to adventure through the state forrest with. Thanks again Sharyn & Colin. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Lovely stay

We loved staying here for the Easter long weekend. Sharyn and Colin were informative, helpful and great with our kids. Site 5 was a lovely, big, grassy area with a nice view of the hills. There isn't much shade (so make sure you have some shelter) and it can get a bit windy at times (just make sure everything is secure). But none of the above bothered us. The kids lovely feeding a petting all the farm animals

Camp site-Garden view

Colin and Sharyn were very communicative leading up to our trip and the place was very great. We came with 2 groups and booked both in the same area. It ended up just being us in that area which was great!

Camp Site 4

Very private site with fenced area. There wasn't much heat from the shade, no trees or natural area around. Very windy at night time because no trees to protect you. Wilsons Prom was an hour away so would camp closer to that area probably. Hosts were super friendly and lovely and provided chemical toilet for us. This site would be perfect for families with animals etc.
