Had an awesome stay at The Old Air Strip with 7people and 4 dogs. There was plenty of space to spread out and explore. The dam was a hit, especially on the hot days when the dogs needed a swim. Plenty of firewood around and a nice flat spot to set up. We even had a few kangaroo sightings while wandering around the property - plus a wombat! Hannah was great - super responsive and had some solid tips for things to do nearby.

My wife and I and our 2 dog's loved our 2 night stay at the old air strip, very private and peaceful, the dog's loved the dam and walking track's, plenty of bird wildlife, and only a 10 minute drive into the beautiful town of Taralga, we will definitely stay there again.

A great place to escape the world

We absolutely love it here, so much so we extended our stay so that we didn't have to go home so soon. It was everything we had hoped it would be. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around, a big dam for them to swim in, lots of tracks to explore and a beautiful creek running through the lower half of the property. We will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your beautiful property, Hannah.

Still had a good time....

Tent

I had a great time during my stay, saw plenty of roo's and birds. I thoroughly enjoyed the privacy and the stars were amazing. It pains me to say it as the time I spent was enjoyable but I felt quite mislead with the promise of lots of exploration on the property and photos of creeks/water to be found. Upon arriving to the property I drove around for about an hour and a half looking for the creek area, all I came upon was very overgrown tracks that I couldn't drive any further down or fence lines. When looking at other reviews there is obviously a creek somewhere but I spent at least 3 hours on foot and in the car looking for it, driving down every track I could see to no avail. I drive a lifted 4wd with mud tyres for reference. A bit of signage would've saved alot of scratched paint, time and fuel. This leaves the only areas to camp 100-200 meters away from the road with a view of tins sheds and caravans which I felt was a bit of a let down. Wombeyan caves are spectacular and the wildlife sanctuary at Taralga is also a great visit. the country out there is stunning. Overall I enjoyed my stay and this review is based off my honest experience I had at the old airstrip.
