Bradbury Nature Retreat

1 site · RV, Tent11 acres · Scott Creek, SA

Dreaming of a retreat in the heart of the Adelaide Hills? Bradbury Nature Retreat is located on a stunning 11 acre property that offers glorious uninterrupted views all the way to Aldinga Beach (just ask the host to show you where you can find this secret view). The property is accessed via a private road so it is incredibly quiet and serene. Instead, get lost in the sound of wild-life all around you! Your campsite is surrounded by native trees and scrub so it’s not unusual to have kangaroos, koalas, and native birds like kookaburras and cockatoos stop by for a visit. Behind your campsite there's an organic fruit orchard filled with ducks and chickens, and a piggery where Camilla the friendly pig lives. The property also features paddocks with roaming sheep and alpacas. Let the host know if you would like a farm tour or to join in feeding the farm animals. We are a small, family owned and run hobby farm. Eggs and other farm produce for sale on request when there is surplus. Campfires allowed in winter/when restrictions aren't in place (BYO wood or ask us about buying some). Experiences around Bradbury: • Our property is 5km from Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary, the home to countless Australian native animals and the only place on mainland South Australia where you can see the elusive platypus! • Just a 7-minute drive to Deviation Road Winery where you can unwind from a hard week at work with a sophisticated wine and an all-day food menu whilst surrounded by vineyards and heritage listed bushlands. • On the main street in Stirling you will find the artisan ice-creamery, chocolate and lolly shop, Hokey Pokey. Our favourite is their house-made ice-cream made with biodynamic dairy and local, seasonal produce! • If you’re looking for somewhere to go for dinner Bradbury isn’t far from the Aldgate Pump Hotel, the Stirling Hotel and the Crafers Hotel, just to name a few. • For the plant lovers, Tupelo Grove Nursery is a 7-minute drive away in the outskirts of Mylor. This family-owned nursery is a must see and is known to be the go to place for harder to find, unique plants!

Outside there is a private parking area, the shower toilet amenities, a large wooden table, a park bench, a firepit and wood/vines to burn (during the Winter months). There is also an additional rubbish bin for convenience. Our glamping setup is for 2 adults only, perfect for romantic couple’s getaways, or two friends wanting to share some quality time together. There is a flushing portable toilet with handwashing facilities and small mirror, and a large shower area with a 20 litre solar camp shower. The homestead is approximately 500 metres away and screened from view by the flower paddocks for your privacy. *** No open fires permitted from 1 October to 31 April Guest Access We would like our Glamping guests to truly enjoy the experience on the flower farm. The area around your tent, bathroom and car parking space has been prepared for you to enjoy. The flower paddocks and other general paddocks are Private property and not accessible to guests. Please refrain from taking a stroll amongst the bushes and flowers as there are hazards such as irrigation lines, taps and not to mention the rabbit burrow and holes dotted around the property. We also operate farm machinery across the other areas of the property as we are a working commercial flower farm. Other details to note Please note - please take care when walking around your glampsite as there are areas of uneven ground and rabbit holes! No manicured lawns or picket fences here! No open fires (firepits) permitted from 01 October to 31 April. Please note - there is no power or electricity to this site. Please note - there is no running water to this site. Strictly Adults ONLY. Bugs and other unwanted guests! As our tents are in the heart of the vineyard you will likely find some harmless insects sneaking into the tents from the vines; the main culprit is the tiny Portuguese millipede. While we thoroughly clean before/after each guest, we want you to know that you're likely to see them during your stay. These are totally harmless insects and can either be left alone (and they'll leave you alone) or you can use the insect spray we provide/pick them up in a tissue, or the dustpan and brush, and drop them in the waste bin, or outside. This is a normal part of life for anyone living on property in McLaren Vale with lots of open indoor/outdoor space. We hope you'll appreciate it as part of an authentic, real experience! To eliminate anything getting into the tent we strongly advise to keep all doors zipped up. We live in the homestead on property (but out of sight!), and far enough away to ensure your privacy. Our property IS NOT the one as you enter the property at the top of the track. We are happy to answer questions, offer local recommendations (some are already in our Welcome Pack for your information). Although we are not always available in person, we are available by phone.

Cooinda Retreats - RV and Camp Stay

9 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Victor Harbor, SA

PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS TO ENSURE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. Cooinda Retreats is pleased to offer our newest addition to nature based camping. Cooinda Retreats RV and Campground Stays provides an exclusive nature based immersive alternative to big park stays. Cooinda Retreats is a 100% Not for Profit organisation. Our Stays park, as with our Group Accommodation is our only source of funding to provide valuable services to disadvantaged and marginalised groups of our community. When you stay at Cooinda Retreats, you get a great experience and know you are supporting many worthwhile community programs. Please remember we are a Hipcamp bushland stays site, not a caravan park. Hipcamp provide very helpful Hipcamper information on their website if you want to understand the difference. Our sites are not massive, we know that, but they are really well cared for, and we offer a spectacular overall environment and level of service. The views are gorgeous. Please read individual site details, as not all are appropriate for big caravan rigs and massive towing vehicles. Situated at the foothills of stunning Victor Harbor, on the Fleurieu Peninsula, Cooinda Retreats RV Park and Campground comprises 10 dedicated sites, all with a unique aspect of bushland and ocean views. Cooinda Retreats is a multipurpose site, with group accommodation and RV/Camp Stays. There will be times that both services are in place, it makes the site uniquely wonderful. Please keep this in mind. You will need to be predominantly self contained, with new portable showers and toilets conveniently located throughout the park for those requiring as a back up. Best to bring your own toilet paper, as these facilities are an added bonus in a self contained stays environment, although we do maintain them to a clean standard.☺️ The Council of Victor Harbor provide a Dump Point approx 3 Kms from our stays park. Site 1 is both electric and dog fence friendly. Its a premium site. All other sites are Non Powered, all have potable water supplies available. You will need to take your rubbish away with you as we don't provide a rubbish service. Spacious lawned areas designated to your group are provided and your support in maintaining this is appreciated, as we don't allow floor mats on established lawn areas. Each site is specific to size requirements of your RV and camping outfit, please take note of the sizes in site details as not all sites are suitable for large vans, some are suitable for campers and tents only. Please check the details before booking. If you have a big van (20 foot or more, please only consider sites 1, 2b, 6, 8 and 9. If you book others be prepared for a bit of fun in the set up process. We offer an extensive Camp Kitchen, which will be shared amongst all guests. This truly is Victor Harbor's best kept secret. While only a few minutes from the township, you will feel the beauty of nature and the serenity of ocean views. Maintaining a balance of nature and activity means that we have a no noise policy after 10:30pm. Naturally we love reviews. We do however ask that you consider all of the above detail and that we are a 100% genuine Not for Profit Charity before smashing out something negative. Particularly something we have already mentioned above anyway. We find a simple private message can generally solve issues. We also have a resident Caretaker couple that take great pride in the park and will assist if appropriate. To summarise: - Our sites are different sizes and not all appropriate for big vans, please check the individual details. - Our sites are not open bush blocks, they are designated sizes, with plenty of open space areas. -We are a multipurpose site, we have a group accommodation service adjacent to the Stays Park. Sometimes they make some noise, but they also abide by the same curfew rules. Its really lovely to know that (predominantly children) are outside in nature for a bit. We think that is pretty special! - Our demountable toilets and showers are awesome, they are 100% a bonus as we ask our guest to be self contained where possible. Bring some loo paper just in case the person before you used in all up. - Water (potable) is available on all sites. - Please take all rubbish with you, its a condition of booking. - There are bugs and ants around us, its a bushland setting. We suggest you bring some stuff to manage this. -We have CCTV cameras discretely situated across our entire site, they are there to keep us all safe. We cant wait to see you, this is really something special!

CAMP AREA- You must keep to the designated campsite- do cross fences, enter paddocks, go into outbuildings, climb on machinery or interact with the livestock. 3. HORSES- there are stallions, foals and pregnant mares on the property, which can be unpredictable and sometimes defensive. Please DO NOT feed, pat or go into the yards with any horses for your own safety. 4. CFS & PETS- Strictly NO campfires due to bushfire risks and NO pets due to biosecurity for farm animals. 5.

This is a normal part of life for anyone living on property in McLaren Vale with lots of open indoor/outdoor space. We hope you'll appreciate it as part of an authentic, real experience! To eliminate anything getting into the tent we strongly advise to keep all doors zipped up. We live in the homestead on property (but out of sight!), and far enough away to ensure your privacy.

Bradbury Nature Retreat

1 site · RV, Tent11 acres · Scott Creek, SA

Dreaming of a retreat in the heart of the Adelaide Hills? Bradbury Nature Retreat is located on a stunning 11 acre property that offers glorious uninterrupted views all the way to Aldinga Beach (just ask the host to show you where you can find this secret view). The property is accessed via a private road so it is incredibly quiet and serene. Instead, get lost in the sound of wild-life all around you! Your campsite is surrounded by native trees and scrub so it’s not unusual to have kangaroos, koalas, and native birds like kookaburras and cockatoos stop by for a visit. Behind your campsite there's an organic fruit orchard filled with ducks and chickens, and a piggery where Camilla the friendly pig lives. The property also features paddocks with roaming sheep and alpacas. Let the host know if you would like a farm tour or to join in feeding the farm animals. We are a small, family owned and run hobby farm. Eggs and other farm produce for sale on request when there is surplus. Campfires allowed in winter/when restrictions aren't in place (BYO wood or ask us about buying some). Experiences around Bradbury: • Our property is 5km from Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary, the home to countless Australian native animals and the only place on mainland South Australia where you can see the elusive platypus! • Just a 7-minute drive to Deviation Road Winery where you can unwind from a hard week at work with a sophisticated wine and an all-day food menu whilst surrounded by vineyards and heritage listed bushlands. • On the main street in Stirling you will find the artisan ice-creamery, chocolate and lolly shop, Hokey Pokey. Our favourite is their house-made ice-cream made with biodynamic dairy and local, seasonal produce! • If you’re looking for somewhere to go for dinner Bradbury isn’t far from the Aldgate Pump Hotel, the Stirling Hotel and the Crafers Hotel, just to name a few. • For the plant lovers, Tupelo Grove Nursery is a 7-minute drive away in the outskirts of Mylor. This family-owned nursery is a must see and is known to be the go to place for harder to find, unique plants!
