Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing.
After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others.
By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes.
Thank you.

A peaceful space with lots of trees and waterways as well as an abundance of wildlife such as deer, kangaroo, black cockatoos, butterflies and so many gorgeous birds.
The landscape is varied, with lots of options to explore. From hiking the mountainous steep terrains, to meandering through the many ponds and waterways, or discovering the cleared trails ready for a beautiful bush walk or ride through nature.
The peace at night and the stars are unlike anything I've seen, absolutely breathtaking, and only 15 minutes from all the modern amenities you may need.
We offer several camping sites, a cabin and a large teepee.

What an incredible stay! The land itself is beautiful - you feel at peace the moment you drive up 🌿 It's also full of wildlife, loved the kookaburra chatter, and had a cruisey goana mooch his way past the site, said hello on his merry way 🦎 our dogs also had the best time exploring the land.
Victoria herself couldn't have been more friendly and helpful if she tried 💛 and her wee pup Echo is just the best!

One of the most private and peaceful bush camps I’ve stayed at. Victoria is a fantastic host and the instructions were clear and thoughtful, which made everything easy from the start. The sites themselves are well set up and you can tell a lot of care has gone into them.
I was pleasantly surprised by the composting toilet – simple to use and far better than the ones you usually find in national parks. It’s also dog-friendly, and there’s plenty to explore if you bring your hiking boots. A great spot to properly switch off.

Very well located camping facility next to Goulburn. The designated area has some open grass for campfires and general activities, trees to explore and collect firewood from, and a small pond. Our 2-night stay gave us the chance to switch off from the city and immerse in the sounds of frogs and birds at night, while daytime was spent spotting the odd wallaby (and a feral deer) amongst the woods. It was also very nice for the hosts to put our 2 tents close to each other, since we came as 2 families and this allowed us to do all activities together instead of being on opposite ends of the property. Omar and Mya are very hospitable hosts and have excellent knowledge of their property to make a stay here a real treat!

Victoria is a welcoming and very friendly host and did everything to make sure we enjoyed our stay. It was exactly what we were looking for in a camp site, remote bush setting, mostly away from others. We could go exploring or just sit back and chill listening to the wind blow through the trees, the birds of many different varieties. We had hoped to see a bit more wildlife but it wasn't our time to see any.
We will be coming back again, kids loved it, dog was in scent heaven. We made so many family memories, highly recommended.

If you want to feel like you have your own little piece of the Earth for a while, it's definitely worth a stay. It was everything that we wanted in a camping spot. We wanted seclusion, peace, scenery and somewhere with that "special something", that's exactly what we got. We have tried a number of places that were nice, but always had their cons with their pros. I wouldnt change anything about Monastery of 11 strings. Our host, Victoria, was pleasant and polite, you can tell how much she cares for the land and loves to share her slice of heaven with fellow campers. We will definitely be returning, the only question now is - do you go back to Wirritjin workshop, that we loved so much? Or try a different site!

We had an incredible stay at Rainbow Tree campsite! 🌈 The spot itself is absolutely magical — surrounded by bushland, full of birds, and with plenty of firewood right around camp. There’s a great sturdy table for prepping meals, and we even managed to get one bar of reception to stream a bit of music under the stars 🎶
Victoria was amazing — so warm and helpful, and wonderful with the kids. She even brought us extra firewood and water during our stay, which made everything so easy and relaxed.
Our kids loved exploring the area, and the nearby Wombeyan Caves (about a 30-minute drive) were a huge hit — the caves and the creek are perfect for kids to splash in, especially on a hot day. 🪨💦
Couldn’t recommend this place enough for families looking for a peaceful nature escape. We’ll definitely be back! 🌿🔥

We loved our stay at the beautiful Wirritjin Workshop, winter chill and all, and we will definitely be back to try it out in the longer days.
While we were there almost by ourselves, the sites are all so well spaced apart for privacy and peace and quiet, that I would be happy to stay there when all is full. The only car I recall even vaguely hearing during our two night stay was host Victoria coming past to say hi. No sounds even from the Meares Forest road although our campsite was near property front.
The walk to the creek is well worth it, maybe an hour and a half return of pure walking, but factor in a chat with Vic at the bus, an explore of the creek, and depending on your tastes either a swim or spending some time on a picnic rug with a book and snacks, and it's more of a half day outing.
On access, there is approx 10km of reasonably good quality unsealed road, then a couple hundred metres of the unsealed driveway at Monastery. We used a modest hatchback with only 2WD, and it did fine at this; although I think the front 2 campsites are best for fellow campers using only 2WD.
Overall, it's not luxury camping, we weren't there for that. The things you get - the peace and quiet, the nature, the fresh air and warm welcome (and amazing stories of life there) from Victoria make this somewhere we'll definitely be keen to return to - there's plenty more to explore!
