Welcome to Marron Bush Escape, located in Gosse, in the Western River area (western end, near Flinders Chase National Park) of beautiful Kangaroo Island!
This is a beautiful, remote, rural 250 acre private property, it is home to a number of sheep, features dams that have Marron and boasts the best that nature has to offer. Rest assured, you will not see any neighbours on this property; just picturesque landscapes everywhere you look! It is approximately a 1.5 hour drive from Penneshaw, where you get off the ferry.
We offer powered and unpowered camp sites, as well as a bush, cabin.
Camp fires (small) are allowed when fire restrictions allow. There is a fire pit that can be used when there is no fire ban, with barbecue plate and camp ovens for old-style bush cooking or cooking up your fresh organic Kangaroo Island Marron.
There is a drop toilet at the back and external lights and an external kitchen sink with hot and cold water.
There is one drop dunny and limited rain water (you are welcome to bring your own drinking water if you need extra).
For your convenience, there are recycling and rubbish bins at corner of Snug and Colman’s Rd for all waste disposal.
On half of our property we have sheep and lambs in the paddocks. Bring your camera, and you just might be lucky enough to see little lambs playing and even being born. We may also be shearing and invite you to see how this is done. The other half of the property is untouched natural scrub with grass and trees 12 foot tall. There are koalas, eagles, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and lots of other native animals and a creek with small waterfalls. In winter time the ground can be boggy, so a 4WD is desirable and will allow you to explore further.
From the cabin, make your way down past the dams and go through the shiny gate at the bottom of the hill (please close the gate behind you). Here, you'll discover 125 acres of untouched Kangaroo Island wilderness with walking trails to explore. Keep an eye out for koalas, kangaroos, wedge-tail eagles, wallabies, large grass trees etc
We also have two small lakes that you can have a picnic by or drop some Marron nets in for a fresh feed. There are weighing scales provided at the shed so you can pay for them. This is on an honesty system- so please do the right thing, as we have already been burnt from the fires. You must contact me if you wish to fish for marron prior to catching any.
There are no shops or restaurants close by (stock up before arriving!) and you will need to travel down dirt roads but you will really have the opportunity to get off the grid, get back to nature and make memories in the stunning, untouched, Kangaroo Island wilderness!

Kelly Hill Caves

Edenvale Pastorals was originally established as a solider settlers farm, and later was purchased by the Wilmott family in 2001 and converted to regenerative cell grazing cattle farm. The farm was leased for a few years, up until the recent 2019-2020 bush fires.
Since the bush fires our family has decided to move back onto the farm and start the rebuild. We will be continuing with the sustainable farming practices and want to give people the opportunity to stay and enjoy the west end.
No need to bring your own tent, stay with up to three people in a suspended tent! We can also provide bedding. Should you have a group larger than three, where some people can bring their own gear, we have space for them too.
We have a hot outdoor shower, and compost toilet. Pets are also welcome, however must not be in the tent, and must not harass the wildlife.
The suspended tent sleeps 3 people maximum. If you have any additional people who bring their own camping gear they are welcome to book our other listing 'Jump Off Road Camp (own gear).'
The surrounding paddocks are home to our cattle that pass through occasionally, and during the afternoons you have the opportunity to observe the abundant wild life that come to life, as well as a healthy bird life among the trees.
On your stay you have the choice of enjoying the walks and hikes through out the De'mole river and Cape Torrens that are at your door step, go sightseeing in the national park, the De Tong Ling Stupa, Billy Goat water falls or even Western River Cove or just relax and enjoy the serenity of your suspended tree tent experience.Either way, we hope you enjoy what the west end has to offer.
Flinders Chase National Park is 40km via bitumen road or 27 km via Shackle road. Keep up to date with road closures through Flinders Chase national park website. Cape Borda Light house is 23km from our farm, there are several hikes in that area such as the Ravine Des Casoars and Harveys return. Keep tabs on their website as the park is closed, however still accessible by foot from the gate.
De Tong Ling Stupa is 20km from our farm and is open to the public to visit. Billy Goat waterfalls generally has water flowing through mid winter, but regardless is a beautiful easy hike that comes alive with fungus and orchids early winter and during spring.
Be mindful we are 45 minutes from the closest fuel station, at Parndana, and most places close early so it would be wise to be well prepared before getting here. 15km of the road is dirt, just take it easy if you're in a 2wd, and be aware of eagles, kangaroos and wallabies.
Please get in touch if you have any questions. We look forward to having you!

Tucked away amongst the dunes and mallee scrub near Willson River on Kangaroo Island, this is the sort of place where you’ll probably lose phone reception, gain perspective, and spend more time looking at the horizon than your screen.
The house is completely off-grid, running on solar power and rainwater, but don’t let that scare you off. It still has all the important luxuries: a hot shower, a comfortable bed, somewhere to cook a decent meal, and a deck that’s perfectly suited to a morning coffee or an afternoon drink.
The access track can be a little rough, the wildlife occasionally has right of way, and you’ll quickly discover that “just popping to the shops” isn’t really a thing out here. That’s part of the charm.
Days are best spent exploring the property, wandering down to Bore Beach, hunting for rock pools, watching kangaroos graze through the bush, or simply finding a sunny spot and doing absolutely nothing. If you’re lucky, you’ll hear the ocean from the bedroom at night and wake to a dawn chorus instead of an alarm clock.
One thing we love about this place is that nature hasn’t been pushed aside to make room for the house. The house sits quietly within it. The surrounding bushland is protected, the stars are ridiculous, and there are very few signs that the rest of the world is carrying on without you.
A couple of things worth mentioning:
* A 4WD is essential.
* The roads are part of the experience.
* You may see kangaroos, wallabies, goannas, echidnas and plenty of birdlife.
* You may see a snake. They’re locals too.
* Mobile reception exists, but it likes to keep you humble.
* If you’re looking for a polished resort experience, this probably isn’t it.
If, however, you like wild places, salty air, crackling fires, star-filled skies and feeling like you’ve escaped somewhere genuinely remote, we think you’ll love it here.
Welcome to our favourite corner of Kangaroo Island.

Each unit consists of a fully equipped kitchen for all your cooking needs, a fully operational laundry including a washing machine, dryer, and ironing options, and several spacious living and dining areas.

The camp is a hidden gem. As long as you don’t mind roughing it a little and don’t mind cleaning to make the place better for the next person.
It is remote - you need to bring all your own creature comforts as there is nothing around you.
Catching marron in the dams is a unique experience and cooking it over the fire is next level. Such a beautiful isolated place - and an absolute treat to stay there.

We had such a wonderful stay at the T2 tent and shelter. From the moment we arrived, Peter and Michelle made everything so easy with their clear directions and warm hospitality. The walk into the tent was magical, with the forest path leading to a peaceful and beautifully set-up space.
The tent was spotless, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We especially appreciated the attention to detail and how welcoming the environment felt — it’s clear a lot of care has gone into creating this experience.
Peter was responsive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or a better location to unwind and connect with nature.
Highly recommend this stay and would love to come back again!
