We are so excited to add out two girls Little Pattie (red and built in 1963) and Peggy Sue (mint and built in 1959). As soon as we get the toilet and shower ready, they will be listed. We also have ordered wood fired hot tubs that should arrive by Easter. We have heaps of animals -goats, sheep, horses, miniature horses, dogs, cats, and pigs. We have two milking goats We have fresh eggs in season. We can supply fresh rain water. There are two dams, which could have yabbies (we did put them in there). Locally, there are many attractions which you can see and do. Ballarat and Ararat are approximately 30 minutes either way. Ararat has the historic J Ward for the criminally insane, and Aradale Asylum. The Grampians National Park is 1 hour away. Skipton Rail Trail is close by as well. Beaufort has cafes, Op Shops, pubs, galleries and all the takeaway regulars. Beaufort Market is currently not running, Avoca (40 minutes away) is the fourth Sunday and the huge Talbot Market (40 minutes away) is the third Sunday in the month. Dogs are welcome, as long as they don’t chase the animals. There are no facilities here, but we will have a toilet and shower for the March long weekend, and we are hiring a portable toilet for the Pyrenees Hideaway.

Amazing location & setup with anima
Greeted by lovely host who provided fire wood. We got Fish n Chips from the town (6mins away) and sat by the camp fire. Woke up with friendly horses & goats by our camp…. The area is all fenced off, perfect for our pup to run around. I usually have a fear of compost toilets but setup was great - so clean! We’ll definitely be back!

Earth’s Edge - Little Pattie
Dream getaway!
My 2 friends and I had a beautiful stay at Little Pattie! Everything was lovely and clean, and the outlook onto paddocks, hills and gorgeous animals was picturesque. We also lucked out with the weather but would have easily enjoyed the covered deck in the event of rain. The hot tub was one of the many highlights, we'll definitely be back!

Cute farm, very windy site
Overall, we had a good time. Unfortunately, the tent site was sandwiched between two cabin sites, so it wasn't as private as we expected. The toilet was also located between the two cabins, which meant our tent site was next to the toilet. We suspect the tent site has moved since it wasn't what we expected based on previous reviews and photos. The owners have built a new fence to keep the farm animals out of the area, which is great for dogs. However, the animals do come up to the fence, so make sure your dogs are comfortable with this. We also found the site to be very windy. The jacuzzi heater pipe and covers were blown over in the strong winds, and our tent actually broke. Luckily, this happened on the second day in the afternoon rather than in the middle of the night, so we headed home earlier than planned. We recommend changing the tent spot or only pitching tents on days when strong winds are not expected. The farm animals were very cute and friendly! We can see what the owners are trying to create here and wish them all the best.

A menagerie of barnyard friends.
Judy's lovely patch of rural farmland is my favourite Hipcamp so far. I was chasing a quiet campout in my tent away from noise and chaos and this ticked all the boxes. Super curious and friendly calves and goats, peaceful energy, great communication regarding gate code and access. Smidgen of Telstra reception up by the gate. Thanks Judy.

Visiting Judy and Kay’s Farm at Earth's Edge was a delightful experience! The farm is incredibly picturesque, with stunning views that instantly put you at ease. I had so much fun interacting with the friendly animals, who are clearly well cared for. Judy and Kay were wonderful hosts, making the visit even more enjoyable with their warm hospitality. If you're looking for a peaceful and fun getaway, this is the place to be!
