Our property of 16 acres of natural scrub offers walking access to the beach along a 100-metre sandy path. YOU MUST BE SELF CONTAINED TO STAY 😉 Located only 1 km from the township of Marion Bay, it is an easy stroll via the beach or road to the local jetty, Tavern, shop, playground, and community centre. The amazing Dhilba-Guuranda National Park is only 6 km away, providing many choices of great beaches - well known for surfing, fishing, swimming, and hiking trails. Pets are welcome ... but we do ask that they be kept on a lead and not left unsupervised whilst on the property. Clean up after your dogs, so no-one has to step in their poop!! The walk-on beach is dog friendly. Self contained campers only please. Bring everything you need and take it all with you on departure.

1 night at Alma's Hem Amphitheatre Retreat

The camp site was peaceful. There is only 3 sites but I was the only person there. Kylie uses the site for live music gigs once or twice a year and people can hire the place for weddings. It's picturesque and the dogs, Juno and Audrey are gorgeous. I got my doggy fix . Kylie came down for a chat while I was at the camp kitchen. She's a lovely host. I would recommend the site to anyone who likes a quiet and scenic camp. Oh, the toilets were fancy and fabulous.

Great large, private sites and only a short walk to the beach. The beach access is easy and it's a great beach for a walk or swim. Sites had trees all around and were level. Close to town and the National Park.

Playing fetch can be exhausting, even for a resident farm dog.

It was a great relaxing weekend. No phone coverage and it really allows you to switch off and relax. Kids were able to be kids and enjoy nature. Rob was great and the distillery was wonderful.

We came two years ago to Wagon Flat #1 and loved it more on the return. Flat with wavy field grass and yellow flowers, plenty of space for kids to roam around.

Was greeted in the distillery less than a 2-minute walk from the campsite. Very clean toilet close to the camps (30 second walk) and more at the distillery. Camp site is a private, large space on grass and good soil for tents, with a fire pit and beautiful views of highland cows, sheep, fields and hills. Distillery offers meals and a great, comfortable place to sit and watch the sunset and the cows with a warm fire. We will 100% be returning and all agree that it has been our favourite stay in SA. 10/10 ✨🐮

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful spot. It was such a peaceful location, Rob was really welcoming and there was a mix of feeling off grid but also having some facilities nearby if we wanted to use them. The fire pit was a nice touch as well. We only had a couple of days but felt like we could spend a week there.

We had a great time camping here over the weekend. The kids love running around with all the free space and collecting the perfect throwing stick for the dogs. Toilets were nice and clean. Cheers

Absolutely fantastic farm stay 👍 There's a few very friendly and fun dogs on the property that my kids loved ! The bathroom facilities are brilliant and we will definitely be back again. Book the firewood it made a campfire so easy.

Great farm stay. Very relaxing and quiet. Nice and close to Victor Harbour. Toilet, shower facilities (both exceptionally clean), power, water made things easy. Phone reception and internet not great if this is an issue for you, wasn’t for us. Rob the host is a real gentleman. Loved watching the goats and the highland cows while having a drink by the fire each evening.
