Honestly such a great spot. Super chill, peaceful, and exactly what we needed for a little reset away from the city. David was lovely and easy to communicate with, directions were clear, and everything was set up really well. The site was serene, quiet both day & night, and surrounded by pine trees and farm animals — perfect for switching off and actually relaxing. Felt safe, comfy the whole stay. Would 100% come back and recommend this place if you’re after a laid-back, no-drama getaway from CBD🌿✨

Our family and friends had a wonderful stay at David’s farm. We had the area to ourselves; it was private and very well maintained. The compost toilets were very clean and in proximity to our camp. We also enjoyed spending time with the animals; watching the goats being milked and the chickens wandering nearby. We would love to return someday, hopefully when there’s less rain! Thank you for thing us David.

We loved the incredible revegetated and renewed landscape at Myrnong! David made us feel so welcome and at ease. We were so comfy and happy in our tents under the carob trees and loved chatting with David about all kinds of topics, I reckon I’ll be back for a fireside yarn again soon. Thanks so much David, it’s a real piece of paradise you’ve created 🙏🏻🌸💚

This booking was 2 camper trailers & 4 swags. Great site for groups

A great place to camp. Quiet, isolated and super beautiful surroundings. There is 2x other sites nearby but they're far enough apart and separated by trees that your site feels private. The swimming hole near the house is a bonus on hot days and the flushing toilet close to the camp sites is amazing. Stewart and Gayle pop by everyday to say hi and make sure the fire water containers are full. Definitely going to stay here again and for longer next time.

Thank you for the hospitality David. A lovely overnight with a small fire! The drop toilet is one of the more upmarket drops I’ve experienced! Was easy to find and Violet Town has a lovely cafe for coffee in the morning.

Great little spot to camp among the trees! David was helpful and flexible, and gave us some good tips on arrival. The ground in the area is quite hard, and for some reason I couldn't find any rocks, so to prospective campers I recommend bringing a hammer. Oddly enough the farm has one of the most well stocked dunny's I've ever seen!

Gob-smackingly beautiful and peaceful property. We stayed on Stonor's 'upper level', which has oodles of flat, open space. Grass was short and everything well maintained. Only a short 100-metre walk to the closest toilet. Big wood pile for all to enjoy next to the Heyfield site. Had a good chat to the gorgeous and inquisitive Highland cows in the adjacent paddock. What's not to love? (Stonor also has a decent-sized lower level with a firepit, but not suitable for my large front-wheel-drive motorhome.) HIGHLY recommend.

Had a great time staying at Stewart & Gayle's property over the weekend. We had the place to ourselves which was great. Directions are clear making for an easy arrival. Rough dirt track to get in but nothing to serious and makes for part of the adventure winding over the scenic hills. Would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.
