Our property is located in Tumut Plains at a nursery that specialises in African Violets. Enjoy the serene landscape with uninterrupted views of nearby hills, whilst relaxing under the shade of an Elm tree. Wander through the established gardens or relax and watch the neighbouring cattle wander through their paddocks. The house on the property is 120 years old and was once a school that has now been converted. The property also has some of the most amazing sunsets on offer. We are only a few minutes by car from the beautiful township of Tumut where you can access the Tumut River and Blowering Dam for all your water activities. There is also a great brewery for food and drinks, a nearby by mountain bike park and we are not too far from Adelong Falls. The property is pet friendly but please ensure your pets are under control at all times. Campfires are welcome in the firepit provided, as long as there is no restrictions in place. We also have some firewood available.Our property is located in Tumut Plains at a nursery that specialises in African Tulips.

The Violet Farm offers a peaceful and scenic camping experience with views of the Snowy Mountains and neighboring farms. Guests appreciate the quiet setting, the presence of shade from large trees, and the proximity to Tumut for explorations. However, some reviews mention cleanliness issues with facilities and the presence of clutter around the site, which might be concerning for some visitors. Despite minor drawbacks, the general consensus is that the farm provides a decent spot for campers looking for an affordable and serene getaway.

Lovely private area at the back of the property overlooking the neighbours’ farms and Snowy Mountains although as a single female traveller I felt uncomfortable with Leonie’s ex husband not giving privacy. The bathroom is lovely however it was not very clean

Great location but....

21 ft pop-up camper

Great location, relatively cheap and does have hot water shower and flushing toilet. Unfortunately, the place is not in a great state of repair. We didn't spend the days at the camp site (out exploring the Tumut/Batlow area) so it suited us perfectly but if you were planning staying at the camp site during the day, you may be disappointed.

I booked this sight while on the road and it delivered what it said. I had to search for the toilet and facilities after trying to contact host. I did not consider that the pipes would freeze over night, so if you are there in the winter, ensure your water needs are sorted the evening before leaving. Beautiful view and sunset.

Nice peaceful and safe spot to camp. Huge deciduous trees and a shower and toilets very close. Loved looking across the paddocks at the cows and hills.

Very quiet location. Short drive into Tumut or the river up the road for a swim. Would recommend

Quiet, shady, lovely view.

32 ft travel trailer · With kids

The initial impression of the site was concerning with a lot of timber and metal rubbish visible around the house and perimeter. Once we were settled, we appreciated the beauty of the paddocks, cows, and mountain views. The huge trees provided beautiful shade and the big grassy yard perfect for the kids to play. The shower and toilet were functional but not necessarily clean. Water hook up was convenient but power hook up limited your site parking. Firewood was supplied in the form of fallen logs and old pallets. The proximity to Tumut was excellent, only a few minutes drive to the Junction Park. It was very quiet and not much road noise. The owner was friendly and happy to chat and show you through the nursery. The site is definitely priced accordingly. All in all, we had a wonderful 3 night stay and made lots of memories.
