Amazing spot that is even better given you have it all to yourselves. Ross and Sharon were super helpful and made everything very easy. The camping barn is incredibly useful and well setup. We had a wonderful time - thank you!

Paradise

Thank you Sharon, Ross and George the three legged dog! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The rolling hills were stunning. We loved waking up to the dawn chorus - listening to rosellas and the babbling creek. The hosts were wonderful in making us feel welcome and we adored hearing about the history of the well -looked after property. The structure was a god send during the rain. All the brilliant details from the big firepit with the hotplate and the little moon carving in the dunny door were just so thoughtful! As the sun was setting, we saw a wombat come out of its burrow for a feed and it was just so special to witness. Your dedication to sustainability not only nurtures the land but also creates a brighter future for all of us. Keep up the amazing and inspiring work. We will be back! Liz & John

Epic space for big camping group!

What a phenomenal campsite. Spent Father’s Day weekend here with 3 families. So much space to spread out, enjoy nature, and spend time together around the fire. The hut is a great space for a cook up and sharing meals. The site is very level for tents and vans. We got our 15ft off grid van in and out without issue, towed by a Chev Silverado on dry ground. AWD cars would be fine as long as you’ve got decent clearance. We saw the platypus in the early morning which was exciting, as well as a couple of lovely wombats, and lots of bird life. This is such an amazing space and we will definitely return for future gatherings! Big thanks to Sharon and Ross for their hospitality and beautiful property!

We had a great time. We are used to camping without amenities but staying here was amazing. We were also very lucky to see a platypus.
