This is lovely quiet, open bushland block, close to Newstead and Castlemaine. Cairn Curran Reservoir is only a few kilometres away. Pitch a tent or drive your van in. The amazing little shack onsite offers gas cooking facilities and a sofa so you can relax in front of the beautiful little fireplace. There are great opportunities for taking leisurely walks or rides along the gravel roads surrounding the property. What makes this property special is the awesome shack which can be used for cooking and relaxing. It also has great dam and incredible variety of birds, so it is a birdwatching mecca. A shower and portable toilet is available onsite. Water safety note: A dam exists within the property and is located close to the camping area. The dam does not have exclusion fencing and may be a hazard to some. This should be considered prior to booking, particularly if you have young children.Pitch a tent or drive your van in. This site offers a tranquil stop where you can sit back and enjoy the amazing variety of birdlife and also be close to some of the best towns in Victoria. The lovely township of Newstead is only a couple of kilometres away and Castlemaine and Maldon, both a 15 minute drive. The amazing little shack onsite offers gas cooking facilities and a sofa so you can relax in front of the beautiful little fireplace.

One of the most stress free camps I’ve ever done! Beautiful private space, and fantastic amenities. Was great to have the shack to escape the sun for a bit as not much shade on a hot sunny day. Waterholes nearby for a dip too. We had so much fun and will definitely be back. Thanks so much Blair!

Beautiful little spot. Very private and quiet. Lots of birdlife. The shack was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We slept in our van but the shack gave us somewhere to hang out while it was raining. Will probably come back and would definitely recommend. Blair was a great host and communicated very well.

We really enjoyed our stay at Newstead Nook, in fact it surpassed our expectations. Blair was great to communicate with and we enjoyed having the convenience of the small fridge, stove and lovely wood burner especially on a cool Autumn night. We were delighted to wake up to two kangaroos in the morning and an unexpected koala up high on one of the trees on the property. Definitely highly recommended and on our return visit list.

Neat shack an extra bonus
An excellent stay, the shack provides the luxury of having a small kitchen and lounge that fits around 2 people when camping - the best of both worlds, especially if the weather turns wet. Blair was prompt and clear in his communication. Location is a bit removed from town on a rural block with full privacy, and an easy drive to Newstead, Maldon and Castlemaine.

Beautiful, peaceful & easy camping
We loved staying at Newstead Nook. It’s beautiful and we enjoyed seeing the work that’s been done with planting to make it better for the wildlife. The shack and the facilities are well designed and easy to use. It had everything we needed.

Beautiful peaceful spot in the bush
Great little slice of paradise in the bush - private, peaceful and has everything you need. The shack is brilliant and the outdoor shower and portable toilet very handy. Blair is excellent and explained everything re: directions and how to use the facilities clearly. Highly recommended spot if you're after some peace and quiet amongst the gum trees
