Wandy Donkey Camp was a fantastic spot for tent camping. Beautiful scenery and the large paddock meant it felt very private even with other campers sharing the space because everyone was able to spread out. Kate was an excellent host. Unfortunately we didn't meet the donkeys on this visit but will hopefully be back!

Kate and Dave were the most amazing hosts and the Camp was the best we’ve stayed at! The different camperes were placed far apart so it felt like we had the entire ground to ourselves - and we were placed so we were looking right at the cows which was amazing. In the morning we were able to meet and pet all the animals on the farm which was an amazing experience ❤️
Fuerthermore they were amazing at showing us the stingrays and how to feed them.
Again thank you so much both of you! We definitely recommend this camp😃

Perfect campsite—especially if you’re over busy caravan parks! We stayed for two nights during our road trip from Melbourne to Sydney and absolutely loved the experience at Kate’s land. The sites are beautifully spaced out, giving plenty of privacy and room to truly enjoy nature. It feels secluded, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing—even better than expected. Kate was super responsive, and Dave greeted us on arrival to make sure we were all set. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved staying at The Flat. The grounds were beautifully prepared and so clean. Grass was soft underfoot and the pathways thoughtfully mown. My daughter and I delighted in exploring the little teatree forests and the creek beds. Particular fave was feeding the animals and patting the donkeys. Kate was generous with her time and spirit. Would recommend highly and we’d love to come back!
