Pumbaa: Camping in the Bush

Great stay. Facilities were great. Very relaxing time spent here. Kieran was an excellent host. Very helpful, polite and friendly. Stayed at Rafiki instead of pumbaa which had a great undercover area and close toilet. Would be perfect for large parties.

Easter Camping Trip

What a fantastic long weekend away! From the get go Kieran was such a warm and welcoming host, we knew from the first interaction we felt comfortable and would have a good camping trip. We count ourselves lucky that we were placed next to the pond where we could wake up to the sounds of the morning birds and watch the lilies open up every day. There was a viewing platform overlooking the pond where you can sit and watch the sunset and overall the site felt private and away from the hustle of everyday life, which is exactly what we were after. We had fun challenging ourselves on his assault course a little way up the gravel road and there were toilets and shower facilities nearby to where we were camping. Another plus to this property is that there is a servo a 5 minute drive away to top up on ice, fuel etc. and a small town a 10 minute drive away for a top up on groceries, drinks or a cafe visit if you wish. Overall this camp site is up there on our favourite places we have been to, just dont do what we did and follow the immediate map link that hipcamp provides because you might find yourselves down the wrong road, just manually type in the address Kieran provides 😊🤘

Kiara: Cosy, Private Cabin

Wonderful stay in remote oasis!

We had an awesome time at Kieran's place; the cabin is perfect and has a great deck and kitchen space. We did lots of walking around the property and enjoyed a ride around the place with Kieran :) The sunset from the viewing platform was spectacular. Thanks for having us!
