A beautiful peaceful spot on top of a hill with panoramic views of tinaroo dam and pasture. Enjoyed walking, feeding the goats in an adjacent field and kayaking in the courtesy kayaks made available for guests. A very welcome breeze and warm friendly hosts.

Wakana Ridge was a stunning place to stay for the weekend! Endless amazing views with easy access down to Tinaroo dam where the kids had a ball on the kayaks provided. Katrina and Jesse we're fabulous hosts, so welcoming and friendly. An added bonus too was feeding the cheeky goats and the kids collecting the chicken eggs. We absolutely loved it here and will be back.

Weekend Trip to Wakana Ridge Homestead

Such a beautiful spot. We spent three nights with Trina and Jesse and loved it. Trina’s communication is second to none. Some of the best we have experienced on hip camps if not the best. The options they make available are exceptional. Being off the land we didn’t worry about the farm experience but took advantage of the fresh eggs which where excellent and Jesse delivered two loads of fire wood. The site was freshly mowed and great touches with a big box of books and games. A dump point and fire pit. The view is simply stunning. As mentioned in their brief you are on top of a ridge and can be windy but if you set up with the van behind you it’s no issue. The view makes it worthwhile. Would recommend Trina and Jesse place to anyone. You will be well looked after.

Weekend Trip to Wakana Ridge Homestead

We had the most incredible stay at Wakana Ridge Homestead! From the moment we arrived, Katrina and Jessie made us feel completely welcome with their warm, down-to-earth vibes. Their passion for homesteading is truly inspiring — we got a glimpse into their amazing lifestyle, met their friendly goats, and even sampled Katrina’s homemade Davidson plum jam (which was absolute magic). The campsite itself is perched high on the ridge with views that could be straight out of a travel brochure — sunrise and sunset were breathtaking. We cooled off in the lake, soaked up the serenity, and genuinely felt like we had discovered a hidden gem. To top it all off… we left with 6 baby chickens in tow! 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 Couldn’t recommend this spot more highly — already planning our next visit. Thanks again Katrina and Jessie for such a memorable experience!

I stayed at Wakanaridge Homestead over the weekend for a little getaway with my two dogs, and it was absolutely perfect. Katrina and Jesse were so welcoming from the moment we arrived. On Saturday morning, I joined the “cuppa and chat” and loved hearing about all the exciting things they have planned for this amazing property. The views are simply breathtaking, and the whole place has such a peaceful atmosphere. Both Katrina and Jesse went out of their way to be helpful and kind, and it truly made my stay feel special. So very grateful, and can’t wait to come back
