⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing stay! The tent was cozy and beautifully set up, with all the comforts we needed while still feeling close to nature. The farm was peaceful, the animals were a joy to see, and evenings by the firepit under the stars were unforgettable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Weekend Trip to Hilltop Farm, Camping and Glamping.

We had such a wonderful stay at this glamping site! It was the perfect little getaway for me, my partner, and our dog. The tent was beautifully set up with thoughtful touches that made it feel special. The bed was super comfortable, and we loved being able to sit on the bed and watch the storm come in over the dam. The property itself was peaceful and private, with plenty of space for our dog to explore safely, which was a huge plus. The hosts were easy to communicate with and provided some fresh produce. It felt like the best mix of camping and comfort—we got to enjoy the fresh air and starry nights but still had the luxuries of a proper bed, hot shower, and a few creature comforts. Would definitely recommend to couples (and dog owners!) looking for a relaxing escape. Also, when they say all you need to bring is an Esky with your food, that really is it! Everything is there. Amazing!

Absolutely spectacular views. Secluded which makes it safe, and the dogs loved it aswel. It did rain for a few hours just before midnight but that still did not dampen our experience as Leacia and Phil went above and beyond to cover our needs. The experience was honestly like no other. I've done slot of camping in my life and gone from campsite to campsite. Never had this before! Amazing !

Such a peaceful spot with adventure just a short walk or ride down the hill. Loved every minute of our stay. Facilities were lovely and clean and the set up was great. Even with a solid downpour of rain we were warm and dry the whole night. Dogs enjoyed a swim in the dam also and the photos don’t do it justice.

Stunning little spot and very secluded. Everything was so user friendly. The bed is hands down the comfiest bed I have ever slept in and the tent is GORGEOUS. Rained all night but I felt very secure in the tent. Despite the rain still managed to get a fire going. For a lone female traveller (and her dog) I felt very safe and secure here

Could not recommend this camp enough! We decided to treat ourselves to a bit of a glamping experience for Easter and this spot was an absolute gem. The dam was perfect for our two water obsessed border collies & we loved paddling around it on our paddle boards. The set up was fantastic very quiet & private, you really don’t need to pack anything but food! Facilities were very clean & practical. The view by the fire pit was perfect to sit & watch the sun go down & there’s lots to do & see in & around crows nest. Highly, Highly recommend!!
