Peaceful 10-Acre Retreat Near Millicent
A tranquil 10-acre property surrounded by pines on two sides and a small, shire-style suburb at the back. The setting brings great joy and tranquillity, with many birds, and friendly sheep and horses on neighbouring properties.

Perfectly central to everything the Limestone Coast has to offer, the property is only an 8-minute drive from the nearest town of Millicent. The magnificent Millicent Golf Course is just a short drive through the pines if that’s your thing.
A portable toilet available for use when hiring the site.

We had an amazing stay at Pine Ridge. We were only meant to stay for a night but decided to book another one. Were able to leave the van and go explore Mount Gambier and all its beauty. Owners were so friendly, they invited us up to meet and feed there miniature goats and we also got to see their incredible collection of birds 😍 and not to forget the haybales that kept the kids entertained for hours. Would highly recommend and will definitely come back if ever in the area again.

We enjoyed our stay at Pine Ridge. There were a couple of caravans parked in the paddock when we arrived but the sites are quite spaced apart so we couldn't hear any noise. The kids liked saying hello to the Scottish cow in the next paddock. Our site was level and we could drive straight in.

Beautiful quiet paddock. Sunrise and sunset 👌 Good sized sites each with a campfire. Sites separated by hay bales which offer privacy. Close to all Mt Gambier attractions. The site could have done with a mow and there were quite afew Jack jumper ants around. Bin onsite for cans only. The sign for Pine Ridge has fallen off the gate so just go slow otherwise you will miss the entry like us!

Such a special place to stay. The sites are big and beautifully spaced with great privacy, and the hay bales make it feel really thoughtful and peaceful. There was loads of room for the kids to ride their bikes and just be kids. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, inviting our kids up to feed the goats and cuddle the rabbits, which was a real highlight for them. It’s also a great base, with plenty to see and do nearby and everything close by. We loved our time here so much that we extended our stay. Truly grateful for the experience.

Loved our little two night stay at pine Ridge ❤️ perfect location for exploring umpherston sink-hole and the other tourist attractions. Natasha and her family were exceptionally welcoming but also left us to ourselves. Our last day Natasha asked if we'd like to go feed her farm animals which my kids loved 😍

Great spot for camping that is close enough to town but far enough away to feel like you away from it all.
Nice big sites and easy access for all size vehicles and caravans/ campers etc.
Farm animals are friendly with feeding available on some afternoons.

Farm stays near Carpenter Rocks guide
Where to go
Canunda National Park
Carpenter Rocks is the southern gateway to Canunda National Park, where golden sandy beaches, rocky coves, and swaths of coastal bushlands make up the wild landscapes. Take your pick from six campgrounds, some affording magnificent ocean views, then take to the coast to hike, swim, surf, and snorkel.
Southern Ocean Drive
The region’s most rewarding road trip runs all the way from nearby Mount Gambier, past Carpenter Rocks, and north along the Limestone Coast. Check into one of the beachside campgrounds at Beachport Conservation Park, camp by the lakes around Robe, or continue north all the way to the beaches and wetlands of Coorong National Park.
Coonawarra wine country
An hour’s drive inland from Carpenter Rocks and the scenery changes from sandy shores to vine-clad hills. Coonawarra sits at the heart of the Limestone Coast wine country, where you can hike or cycle between cellar-door wineries, camp with a view of the vineyards, or go glamping in a luxury bell tent.
When to go
Summer (December through February) is the best time to enjoy the Limestone Coast beaches, and the coastal roads and resorts fill up quickly over the summer holidays. Alternatively, winter is the prime season for bird-watching along the coast, and the coastal wetlands are even more impressive thanks to the seasonal rainfall.
