Enter / Exit the main gate by pushing the code into the key pad. Gate closes after 20 seconds once it is fully open so be quick.
NOTE: ***During Summer- November, December, January and February there are midgees (sandflies) at dusk and dawn and we do recommend midgee screening or spraying the mesh on your caravan windows as the standard mozzie mesh will not keep them out. Bring coils, a fan as they hate any breeze, bug spray and long sleeved pants and tops to wear in the evenings from about 5pm-7pm!***
*4X4's are recommended if you don't stay along the fence line as it can get muddy if there has been lots of rain. If you stay along the fence line you will be fine as the roads are compact and hard and the camp sites along this fence are higher up, they are marked with Fire Pits so camp here if you want to stay dry and get a good breeze.*

Awesome spot with great facilities, whether you’re in a tent or in a van. The eco brewery offers a great variety of meals and drinks. Family friendly, the wild life experience was amazing with kangaroos camping only meters away along with the odd goanna paying their morning visit! Crystal clean lake was definitely well use . Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely stunning and peaceful location. Avon and Brian were spectacular hosts and we couldn't have asked for a better stay.
All the comforts of home with all of the joys of the outdoors

Lovely green grass with flat spaces for parking. Naturally enjoyed the hot showers and clean flushing toilets. We chose a powered site. Well done to the Kia Ora Pony Club for providing a lovely and relaxing spot for us campers

So spacious and comfortable even for just a tent site, the whole experience was enjoyable and if we weren’t out exploring Noosa/surrounds there would’ve been plenty to do hanging out around the camp. Absolutely understand the hype around the place.

Hidden gem, when other Hipcamps around were chockers and crowded, this place was open and spacious.
I don't want to say it, but definately recommend this place, now it will be poular and busy! but good business for the Pony Club - passive income. Even some of the locals don't know about it.
Ticks all of the boxes, recommended 😀
