The perfect spot for a weekend away

Tent · With kids

We had so much fun during our stay. It's the perfect spot to get away for the weekend with friends. We had a group of three families, including seven kids, and everyone had so much fun. The kids loved collecting kindling for the fire, visiting the dam to see the pigs and petting Smudge the goat. Paul and Tracey are wonderful hosts. They have done a fantastic job with the bathroom and kitchen facilities and keep everything so well maintained. We will definitely be back.

Amazing hidden gem

Tent · With kids

Such a great little hidden gem. Nice to feel so far away when really you aren’t. The hosts are so wonderful and accommodating and the animals are the perfect touch!! The facilities are beautifully clean whilst also still maintaining a camping charm. I did think there was a dam for swimming but was unable to easily locate it.
