We have 20 acres of lush river flats adjoining the pristine Brodribb River in the Goongerah Valley. Due to the pristine, clean water straight off the surrounding mountains and the rich fertile river flats, early settlers used this place as a market garden to supply fruit and vegetables to the local townsfolk. After our purchase in 2000, we turned it into a self-sufficient paradise, always welcoming visitors to come and enjoy the land with us. Our BYO campsites are near the river where you can reconnect with nature amongst the tall trees. Kanukadale is a working Nature Retreat Sanctuary, so additional to BYO campsites, we also offer our Bell Tents when the retreats are not running. Here at Kanukadale, you will share the space with very friendly horses, ponies, miniature goats and our donkey. The property is child friendly as the boundary, river and paddocks are well fenced. You can do as much or as little as you want during your stay. Be sure to check out our awesome animal focussed activities that we offer here. You can find them under Experiences. You are welcome to bring your own horses and dogs. Dogs must stay on a lead whilst on the property and responsible pet ownership is essential here, as is a respectful attitude towards all the other sentient beings on the property. We do not allow generators here. There is lots to do in the area with heaps of nature immersion. East Gippsland is one of the most bio-diverse areas on mainland Australia. You can explore rare, Old Growth forest, historic gold mines, climb to the peak of Mt Ellery and walk through the Errinundra Plateau. Mountain bike riding, horseriding, 4wd touring and bushwalking is awesome in this area. There is a camp kitchen with a communal fridge, microwave, stove and electricity. There is also a composting toilet and hot shower facilities. There is free wifi. THERE ARE NO SHOPS OR FUEL OR MOBILE RECEPTION. WIFI CALLING WORKS IF YOU HAVE THAT OPTION. THE CLOSEST TOWN IS 50 KM TO DELEGATE OR 70KM TO ORBOST. YOU NEED TO COME COMPLETELY PREPARED OR IT’S A LONG DRIVE TO TOWN. THERE IS A PUBLIC PHONE BOX UP THE ROAD.

Ti-tree RV Site

Pity it hadn’t been mowed. Quiet, secluded site on the river bank - enjoyed private swims, bird life and the calling dingoes.

Luxury Glamping by the river

Tama's lovely property offers a range of great accom options in a gorgeous location right on the river. Beds in the glamping tents were super comfy though be prepared for a little noise from both the local wildlife and the farm animals. The lovely hot showers were a welcome sight after a few days in the bush.

Dog Friendly, Hot Tub, River Dip

Tama is a wonderful friendly host. Her property was a wonderful retreat for my partner and I + 2 dogs. The river was perfect for a dip, brought floats along and it was so peaceful. The wood fire hot tub is a must add on, nestled by the shetland, donkey and mule paddock, magical. Fire pit pre stacked with some wood and we bought two more wheelbarrows for our 3 night stay.

Glamp with the beautiful animals

We had a great nights stay to break up our road trip. The camp kitchen set up made prepping dinner and breakfast easy and Tama’s commutation was excellent. The tent set up was really beautiful and the kids loved patting the animals when they came up to the fence.
