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 where the chickens forage. The property also features paddocks with roaming sheep and an alpaca. Let the host know if you would like a farm tour or to join in feeding the farm animals.
We only allow one group on our campsite at a time to ensure you have a peaceful and quiet stay.
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 when restrictions aren't in place (firewood available to buy at our wood stall).
To learn more about us follow us on Instagram @bradbury.nature.retreat and don't forget to tag us in your camping photos!

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 where the chickens forage. The property also features paddocks with roaming sheep and an alpaca. Let the host know if you would like a farm tour or to join in feeding the farm animals.
We only allow one group on our campsite at a time to ensure you have a peaceful and quiet stay.
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 when restrictions aren't in place (firewood available to buy at our wood stall).
To learn more about us follow us on Instagram @bradbury.nature.retreat and don't forget to tag us in your camping photos!

A lovely quiet place in the hills for your overnight stay. Annabelle and James were very welcoming. We parked our caravan at the back of the car park as the cellar door was busy on arrival and went inside to enjoy a wine tasting and Tapas. The cellar door closes at 5pm so there was lots more space and we were offered other places to park up. We were happy at our current location and didn’t move as we had a lovely view of the hills. There are tables and lighting outside the venue which James left on for us so we could sit and take in the view during the evening.
Just one element to note is the drive into the property is up a short but very steep gravel road. Not a worry for us as my husband is a confident driver. We are towing a 19ft caravan.

We absolutely loved it camping at Noorla Farm. The laneway camping spot was really amazing as it is close to the animals. Only good things to say about our hosts San and Chris, thank you for the amazing moments with Ziggy, Ginger, Charlie and all the others. Grateful for the lovely two night stay!

We really enjoyed our one night stay at Top Spot. It was a windy day and night however we made do and the view was totally worth it. Sam and her husband are lovely hosts, showed us around the farm and were more than welcoming. A small little gift box with fresh eggs, chocolates and home made cookies by Sam. We will definitely be back to try out their other spots!

We camped here and it was fantastic. Great location, close to everything we needed and a great little base for day trips. Michael invited us up for a wine tasting - and I wish we had have gone every day. It was really interesting to hear how they built their little winery - and safe to say we walked away with a couple of bottles each! Thanks Michael and Kim, you are superb hosts, what a super little patch of the earth you have. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Cooinda Retreats is one of those rare places that instantly feels like a deep breath you didn’t know you needed. Tucked away in peaceful natural surroundings, the campsite blends tranquillity, comfort, and that special kind of charm you only find when a place is genuinely cared for.
From the moment you arrive, you can tell this isn’t just a campsite — it’s a passion project. The grounds are immaculate, the facilities are thoughtfully maintained, and every little detail feels intentional. Whether you're pitching a tent, parking a van, or settling in for a longer stay, the environment is welcoming, calm, and beautifully set up for relaxation.
But the real magic? Guy and Mel.
These two are the heart and soul of Cooinda Retreats. Their warmth is genuine, their hospitality effortless, and their dedication to making every guest feel at home is unmatched. They strike that perfect balance of being available, helpful, and friendly without ever being intrusive.
- Have a question or a hiccup? They’re on it before you finish the sentence.
- Just want a friendly chat? They’re the kind of people you walk away from smiling.
It’s rare to find caretakers who make a place feel both professionally run and deeply personal, but Guy and Mel manage it with ease. Their energy sets the tone for the entire retreat.
Cooinda Retreats is a peaceful, beautifully maintained escape — but it’s Guy and Mel who turn it into a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

We loved our stay at Koala Coast Retreat Farm, camping on an unpowered hilltop site with beautiful views. We had access to clean water, a shower, a toilet, and a dump point if needed. The highlight was our interactions with the horses and donkeys. Heath was also a very friendly and helpful host.

A great 3 night trip which started off with a lovely welcome and chat with the owner Georgie. We had the site to ourselves and loved the tranquillity. Had a great meal at The Bridgewater Inn (booking essential). Would highly recommend staying here if you want peace and quiet and to get away from it all. PS thanks Georgie for the ice blocks on the 42 degree day!
