Catherine is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

We welcome everyone who would like to get back to nature to relax whilst respecting the environment and all fellow hipcampers. We are family and dog friendly, with the space for multiple families to camp together on sites 1, 2 and 4. THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR NOISY AND/OR DRUNKEN PARTYING!!!! Come to Kyneton in the Macedon Ranges and stay close to iconic Hanging Rock. Take under an hour to drive up and explore bountiful Bendigo, nip across to experience delightful Daylesford and meander around the wonderful wineries of the Macedon Ranges. Take a week tasting the commuter belt community before you decide to move here permanently or perhaps take a few days to visit homes for sale. Pitch your completely self-sufficient sleeping quarters on our peaceful, flat, 7 acre property which backs onto the Bald Hill Nature Reserve and is less than five minutes drive from Kyneton’s historic Piper Street which is full of delightful restaurants and cafes. There is a local taxi service if guests would like to go out for lunch or dinner with wine and/or cocktails at some of the delicious Kyneton cafes, restaurants and bars: we love Little Swallow Cafe, Home Grown, Miss M's Lounge, Dhaba, The Kyneton Hotel, Fook Shing, Animas Distillery and Botanik Balcony at Royal George. Kangaroos often bounce through the property at dusk and dawn plus there is a beautiful dawn chorus of native birds. The Bald Hill Nature Reserve has many walking tracks and native flowers and there are plenty other outdoor activities in the local area. Campfires are allowed subject to local fire restrictions and must be fully extinguished before you turn in for the night. Please search for the CFA website 'Fire Danger Period: Can I or Can't I?' which has all of the appropriate information. A fire pit with nearby water hoses and logs to sit on is available closer to the house. This is not really suitable for cooking on but is great for toasting marshmallows! Each site has a fire pit which you can use providing it is not a total fire ban. Firewood is available at a cost to you of $50 per wheelbarrow load which will easily cover two nights. This is the main source of fuel for our home so if you burn the wood we have paid to have split on our property we’ll have to replace it to keep our family warm. We have four separate camping locations on the property; site 3 right next top the dam is limited to one large RV and/or a couple of tents but you can easily have up to four RVs on sites 1, 2 and 4. We have tried to ensure privacy for each location but you may be able to see other guests and/or the house through the many trees. Please be aware that there are two dams on the property, only one of which is fenced with livestock fencing, so children should supervised at all times. My own children swim in the dam and there is a kayak available but lifejackets must be worn by children in, around and on the water to minimise risk. Pets are welcome but are entirely your responsibility. The kangaroos may prove quite enticing for some pets and as such we recommend dogs should be kept on their leash. We have one dog on our property and our neighbours also have dogs. Site 4 has ringlock fencing and farm gates which can be helpful to contain your dogs. Please be aware that the Kyneton Gun Club has their monthly clay target shoot on the 3rd Sunday of each month (2nd Sunday in December) from 11am until 5pm during which time you will hear them clay pigeon shooting. We are NOT a commercial campsite and, as such, you must be fully self-contained for power, water, showers, sewage, refuse disposal, etc. We only have our household wheelie bins and once they’re full then they’re full. Rubbish cannot be left on the ground next to them due to the local wildlife. THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR NOISY AND/OR DRUNKEN PARTYING!!!! Guests under the age of 25 must be accompanied by their parents.

Perfect campsite !

Thank you to Catherine for providing such a fantastic camp site & allowing us to stay at her place ! Site 4 was perfect. Fairly flat, nice grass & shade, firepit & wood, and fully fenced so we could let our pup roam free & meet kangaroos & sheep. Also it was a huge area all to ourselves & nicely private. We could go over the fence for a walk or MTB ride in the neighbouring Bald Hill Reserve. Kyneton town centre was just 10 min away & there's so much to see & do around the area. Catherine was so welcoming & accommodating. We had a great time !

Making memories

We thoroughly enjoyed camping at Catherine's property. The kids especially enjoyed making new friends that were the same age. It was so great to get them away from screens . It was a special moment seeing them canoeing for the first time. The stillness at night was a welcome change to the day in day out of life. Showing my son the milky way is a memory we'll never forget. Thanks so much Catherine, you're hospitality was amazing and we will definitely be back and I'll be sure to recommend to others.

Fantastic spot in Kyneton

Excellent hip camp about a 5 minutes drive from Kyneton. Met Catherine and her boys who gave me a warm welcome. The site itself is huge with plenty of space. It is very flat also so perfect for pitching a tent on. I would highly recommend staying at Catherine’s and will be back in Summer again!

3 Above Dam

Large site rural residential area

We stayed on site 1 for kings birthday long weekend. Initially booked site 3 but Catherine said we could move to site 1 if we preferred which although closer to road it's furthest away from other campers and suited us well with our 22ft van. We had brought our own wood but Catherine has wood on property to purchase and fire drums provided. Barking dogs were a bit annoying during day but quieter at night. You can hear some road noise but only just. A large family with kids who arrived the next day were very noisy and must have annoyed the neighbouring campers. We enjoyed our stay and thank Catherine for her hospitality and the use of the bike and trampoline. With only a 5 min drive to town centre and popular Piper St, it's the perfect base.
