Canunda Views

Our property is located in Canuda, the terrain is hilly with several clear, flat spots good for camping. The entire 33 acres is available for you to explore on a nature walk. 

Any clear area within the boundary is available to camp in but a site needs to be booked and I will suggest an appropriate location.

Being a declared scrub block it is undisturbed and snakes are present but if you leave them alone they will mind their own business.

Small fires are permitted, only where a fire ring exists and out of fire ban season. Check listing details for more information. Gas fires and BBQ are not permitted during total fireban. More appropriate instructions are provided the day prior to booking in.

The Canunda National Park is only a 4km drive from the property and has plenty of stunning beaches and beautiful walks you can enjoy. It is also a popular fishing spot and has some great 4WD tracks to explore.

Coastal Calm at Cape Douglas

Relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature at this peaceful seaside retreat in Cape Douglas (population ~68). This laid-back haven offers open farmland views, starlit skies, and the friendly vibe of a small coastal community. Watch the cows graze, stretch your eyes across wide paddocks, and breathe in the quiet.

Across the road, stroll along the shoreline, launch a kayak, explore the reef, roll out your yoga mat, or cast in a fishing line. Further down the coast, discover surf breaks and secret fishing coves. Just a 10-minute drive away, the neighbouring township of Port MacDonnell invites you to grab a coffee, enjoy local fish & chips, or unwind by the jetty and playground.

Serenity now, just across the road; great for yoga, fishing,  connecting to nature, a kayak or a paddle.

This is the view of the farm lands. The camp site is up higher than the water course.

This is your little piece of grass - level, nicely mowed, ready for your RV, a glass of wine & cheese platter and even a little game of croquet😍
