1 night at The Wandy Donkey Camp

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😃 Best regard Cathrine and Victor

Colin was nothing short of a wonderful host. Super prompt to respond to any questions I had as we didn’t have a 4WD van and met us upon arrival and brought us straight down to the campsite. The site itself was absolutely beautiful we were surrounded by kangaroos and wildlife it was so quiet and peaceful exactly what we wanted. Colin also had plenty of firewood should we wish to light it and drums of water alongside a bin supplied for our use. He made sure we were entirely comfortable and was super friendly!

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!

Good: Nice view, quite easy to access the river like swimming or boating. Bad: Only one bath/toilet, need to queue outside sometimes. Bath temp sometimes is low and unstable. Entry road is dirt and bouncy for around 8km, good for 4WD or SUV but could be unfriendly or even harmful for sedan or luxury cars so please be prepared for that.
