Kobble Creek West is accessible from several locations on our property boundary. Ideal for creek exploring and rock hopping. There’s even a small lagoon now awaiting.
Check out the short hiking trails on our property (there are hike options suitable to your preferred difficulty). Bring your machete for an even greater hiking experience!
You can relax by or in the spring fed dam, explore seasonal Kobble Creek, feed the chickens or goats, spot the abundant bird life, or sit patiently and a deer or fox may appear at dusk.
Enjoy the evenings sitting around the campfire as you gaze at the stars.
All sites have sufficient spacing from other sites to ensure acceptable privacy. You are welcome to enjoy our off-grid camping with the expectation that facilities are minimal.
NOTE: Surcharges exist for a number of circumstances, including day visitors and single-night bookings. These can be found in the Extras and must be added at the time of booking for your request to be accepted.
NOTE: Please also indicate that you are 4WD and your camping platform and size as you book. This enables us to site you appropriately.
NOTE: Each site has a stand alone camping toilet bucket, located behind a small shade cloth screen near your camp site. You’ll have a seat to sit on, a lid to close, and the need to throw some Leaves and grass in each time you go.

The dogs and I loved our time at Dundas Valley Retreat. We spent 3 nights on a flat grassy site overlooking the valley and it was very peaceful, relaxing and the best part was the complete solitude! I could have the dogs off lead to run around and explore their surroundings and we went for regular walks half way up and down the road leading into the camp. Half way was about a 20 minute return walk. And of course we had to stop at the dam each time so dogs could get their swims in. The bird life was beautiful - I’m sure I saw pale headed rosellas and lorikeets plus heard the whip bird and a flock of cockatoos in the distance., amongst a variety of other birds. If I could replicate that peace and solitude again, I’ll certainly be back. Highly recommend if you want to be engulfed in nature.

Really lovely secluded spot close enough to travel to Dayboro for supplies, but it feels far enough away to relax immediately on arrival.
