Weekend Trip to The Stockyard Experience

My family and I cannot recommend The Stockyard Experience enough! The property is situated in an amazing area in Mumbil, yet still conveniently located a short distance from Wellington. The camp is well equipped—tents are spacious, the beds comfortable, the amenities clean and well maintained. As other reviewers have mentioned, Vicky and Brian are amazing host; who were prompt and open in their commutation from start to finish of our booking. Not only were they hospitable and warm, but they also incorporated small touches around the camp to make our stay even more welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and definitely look forward to coming back the next opportunity we get to unplug and unwind. Many thanks again Vicky and Brian! In short: Perfect spot for a family’s first camp!

This place is awesome. An expanse of beautiful bush bordering state forest, an abundance of wildlife, no other Campers around, and a giant fireplace with loads of wood to burn. Vicky and Brian were super accomadating, and have thought of everything for a glamping trip , without robbing it of the camping experience. I'll be back for sure...

Vicky and Brian have created a fantastic glamping site filled with thoughtful comforts and loads of creativity. The views are beautiful any time of the day but the sunsets are breathtaking. We loved being away from it all surrounded by sky and bush. The visit to see the deers was a highlight. The entire region is spectacular to drive through- a thorough recommendation all round.

The Stockyard Experience was simply amazing. Vicky & Brian were so welcoming, which was a wonderful start. The location is just stunning. Vicky and Brian have put some detailed thought and careful consideration into decking out the bell tent and immediate vicinity, which left us wanting for absolutely nothing. We have had the most wonderful time staying here, and can't wait to come back soon to see the next instalment!!
