Weekend Trip to Heggies Hill Bush Camp

Very quiet. I think I was the only one there. Poured with rain all night, thunder & lightning and thick fog. So it was like a scene from a scary movie. However, this didn't detract from the serenity and beauty of the surrounds. The birds were singing in the morning. It was just as I expected. I'd go again if I was in the area.

I had a great stay and thank you to Alex for being so positive in opening up his property to motorcycle camping. I had the property to myself and found a great spot to pitch my tent. Campsite 11 had fantastic views across the valley and it was nice to sit back and watch the setting sun. I’ll definitely be planning another adventure.

Funnily we were drawn to the constant comments about how great the toilets were, and to be honest, they were incredible with festoon lights at night. View was amazing, communication great, highly recommend! just watch the flies in November.

Fantastic private space with views for days. Toilet was in perfect condition and loved the toilet seat. Great small touches. Thank you for having us.

See some of the farm animals doing their thing from the next paddock, or book in for an Alpaca Meet and Greet Experience to get up close and personal with the true stars of the show.

Weekend Trip to Maverick's Rest - Alpaca Farm Stay

This was our second stay at Mavericks Rest, both overnighters. We really loved the open landscape and peacefulness of being in the countryside. In April 2025 it was very much in drought, while this time it was very green and in good condition. Regardless we loved both times. We’d definitely return if we were passing through. Highly recommended.

Heggies was so good… Campsites are nicely spaced out so you don’t feel like you’re in each other’s pockets. Toilets were a particularly highlight, it felt like you were doing your business in a Swedish bath house! I’d highly recommend and hope to be back sooner

I had a great stay in site 1 which looks out to a great view right from the tent. Although a bit further to the pretty splendid bathrooms - it’s a short walk. Other guests were friendly and respectful of your camp site and were all there to enjoy the nature.
