Welcome to Our Farm – A Hidden Valley Retreat
Nestled in a beautiful hidden valley on 30 acres, our farm is home to friendly dogs, horses, alpacas, rabbits, guinea pigs, two camels, two cheeky pigs, Galloway cows, and chooks — along with wildlife including birds, kangaroos, koalas, owls, and even an echidna! From our hills, enjoy sweeping views to the lake and the charming winter creek, where frogs create a gentle evening soundtrack.
We’re just minutes from the McLaren Vale wine region, local Hills wineries, and 35 minutes from Victor Harbor’s coast. For a meal out, The Greenman Inn is 5 minutes down the road, with cozy wood fires in winter and a beautiful outdoor area in summer.
All three of our private, well-spaced sites include toilet facilities and offer something unique for overnight stays or day visits with a picnic. You can even walk to the sites for a day outing and enjoy the views, the creek, and fresh air, especially at The Hut, perched atop the hills.
Topspot – a peaceful hilltop hideaway among the trees with amazing views. 4WD is required for overnight stays.
The Hut – a rugged hut with three enclosed sides, perfect for sunset drinks or a picnic. Suitable for tents or camper trailers; 4WD and reasonable backing skills required.
The Laneway – beside the winter creek, ideal for small caravans, motorhomes, 2WD vehicles, or tents (please check with hosts if your vehicle is large).
Family & Animal Experiences: Pets are welcome (please keep them under control unless discussed with hosts). Families are encouraged to contact us during their stay if they’d like to meet our farm and rescue animals, and we’ll arrange a visit around feeding time. $10 from every booking goes directly toward feeding and caring for our animals, helping keep them happy and healthy.
Notes & Safety: Autumn and winter rains may make hill tracks slippery; bookings may need rescheduling for safety. Fires must be contained within the provided fire pits. During bushfire season, open wood fires are not permitted. Limited phone coverage is available at The Laneway. Please respect all guests: loud music and disruptive behaviour are not tolerated.

Emu Bay Hideaway, Kangaroo Island

(18)
73km from Carrickalinga · 15 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to your dream destination!!
We have two different locations available in Kangaroo Island with some options of sites in each.
FIRST LOCATION:
EMU BAY HIDEAWAY-30 hectares of peace, mainly vegetated with Kangaroo Island Narrow-leaved Mallee (Eucalyptus cneorifolia, a nationally-protected ecological community). Kangaroos and wallabies are in abundance. It has a wonderful feeling of remoteness and seclusion yet is so close to iconic Emu Bay.
Those with 4WD may choose sites overlooking Shoal Bay towards Kingscote.
Alternatively, you may set up camp anywhere on the property. There is even one under-cover position with a concrete floor for those concerned about the weather.
There are no amenities so guests need to be 100% self-sufficient (including BYO drinking water and toilet) and leave no trace. It is a wild block and only five minutes from the iconic Emu Bay, where the white sandy beach runs for 4kms, most of which is backed by 10 to 20-meter-high dunes. It is one of the best beaches on the island with crystal-clear water.
SECOND LOCATION:
Farm Stay about 15 km from Emu Bay and 20km from the main town of Kingscote. This is an operating small sheep farm of over 100ha. For security reasons the exact location is not advertised, but will be disclosed upon arrival on Kangaroo Island.
There are several beautiful sites. This location is fairly central to most KI visitor attractions. It is a secure place to set up camp and have peace of mind that your belongings will be safe while you are away from the site. The host takes care to situate sites to give campers the feeling of exclusiveness.
NOTES;
Check with me before lighting a campfire - this depends on the season and risk. Dogs are permitted if well controlled (register visiting dogs with local council).
IMPORTANT: As I have very limited access to the Internet, It is preferred that if you have questions, you can text or call me, Rosalie, on 0490485123. Please note - all bookings MUST still go through the Hipcamp system, no exceptions.
Kangaroo Island is serviced by regular ferry - check SeaLink for details. As the service requires advance bookings, please secure your passage to the island before booking your site. Thank you.

We loved our stay at The Hut! Such a beautiful property and the fenced area was perfect so our pup could run and explore safely. The hut was cosy (especially when it got windy), and we were very thankful for the toilet facilities. We also loved the camels and the extremely generous welcome basket on arrival. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐

What an amazing place to camp. The views were spectacular and the site great with our dog. The track up to the site was steep but worth it.
The hut was a treat for bird watching while enjoying a glass of local wine.

Sam, Chris and their menagerie of gorgeous animals, most of which have been rescued are the most beautiful beings that walked this earth!! When we arrived they were so accommodating re which site we could have as lucky 🍀 for us, they were strangely available so we picked the “horse arena” site for our Hybrid caravan. Next time we will be staying at “The Hut”. We were gifted home made biscuits and their chickens egg and they spent time with us feeding the animals and then 2 days later a while morning with our grandkids.
If you don’t book here, you have missed a piece of heaven on earth hosted by a divine couple!!

We had such a wonderful experience staying at The Hut! The place is absolutely stunning.. peaceful, beautifully set up, and the views are just breathtaking. It’s the perfect spot to relax and disconnect.
Sam was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the little welcome treat was such a thoughtful touch. You can really feel the care and effort that’s been put into creating such a special space.
We truly appreciated our stay and would highly recommend The Hut to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable camping experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Camping at Steve's property was relaxing and quiet. The grounds are spotless. We've seen kangaroos hopping around the area and koala's and possum's live in the area as well though we haven't them during our stay and that's a good excuse to go there another time. The camp spots (2) have shade and sun during the day so perfect for our two dogs who like to stay out of the sun. We fitted easy with our 16.5 ft caravan. We loved the fact that there are only 2 camp spots in the paddock because our dogs are reactive. We would love to spend some more camp bliss here in the future. We've met Steve who came to greet us during our stay. He's a friendly guy who loves a chat and was absolutely kind to our small dogs. There's a nice park along the Onkaparinga River which is a short walk across the road. The township of Clarendon is on walking distance and there's a great Opshop around the corner!

Really nice stay, the hut site is quite private up on the hill and has views out over the nearby valleys and hills. The hut itself is great to get out of the wind - open on 2 sides and a great place to watch the sun set from. The hosts are wonderful and asked if we wanted to watch them feed the various animals on the farm. Recommend a stay!
