The Beautiful Billabong (site 7)
Paddock camping with fury friends!
We recently stayed at Sandalwood Downs on the way to the Boshack Rodeo and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Where do I start...I don't care how old you are you are NEVER to old to enjoy being able to interact with the animals on the farm in their own space and being able to pat and cuddle them. We were camped in the billabong area in the same paddock as camels, alpacas and emus just casually roaming around and occasionally coming up to say hi was amazing. Jane and Mark were so welcoming and the communal firepit area with marshmallow roasting and a play ground near by for the kids was a hit not only with the kids but for us as parents being able to relax next to a fire pit with a bevvy in hand while they played was great! The walk up the big hill behind us to see the sunset and the view of the farm was great (even though it made me realise how unfit I am haha) The only bad thing was that we weren't there long enough! We will def be back to stay for a few days next time to do the full farm tour! Thanks guys!

The Plantation East (site 4)
We had a great time staying here, albeit brief. It was peaceful and private. The kids loved the animals around the farm and the playground. The communal fire pit area was a great spot to chill out at the end of the day. We would highly recommend this place to friends and anyone considering staying near Toodyay.
