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!

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.

Obviously vehicles lengths vary. Vans larger than 18ft will need experienced drivers who have towed in tighter locations and know how the wheels track behind the tow vehicle. Larger vans will need to take care. Under 18ft vans will easily fit, but care also needed.

It is my third trip to Noorla Farm. We had a great time camping at the Laneway. The Hosts were welcoming as usual. I had a great time learning how to feed the animals and give them treats. I would definitely recommend Noorla farm.

Sam, Chris and their menagerie of gorgeous animals, most of which have been rescued are the most beautiful beings that walked this earth!! When we arrived they were so accommodating re which site we could have as lucky 🍀 for us, they were strangely available so we picked the “horse arena” site for our Hybrid caravan. Next time we will be staying at “The Hut”. We were gifted home made biscuits and their chickens egg and they spent time with us feeding the animals and then 2 days later a while morning with our grandkids.
If you don’t book here, you have missed a piece of heaven on earth hosted by a divine couple!!

We had such a wonderful experience staying at The Hut! The place is absolutely stunning.. peaceful, beautifully set up, and the views are just breathtaking. It’s the perfect spot to relax and disconnect.
Sam was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the little welcome treat was such a thoughtful touch. You can really feel the care and effort that’s been put into creating such a special space.
We truly appreciated our stay and would highly recommend The Hut to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable camping experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Camping at Steve's property was relaxing and quiet. The grounds are spotless. We've seen kangaroos hopping around the area and koala's and possum's live in the area as well though we haven't them during our stay and that's a good excuse to go there another time. The camp spots (2) have shade and sun during the day so perfect for our two dogs who like to stay out of the sun. We fitted easy with our 16.5 ft caravan. We loved the fact that there are only 2 camp spots in the paddock because our dogs are reactive. We would love to spend some more camp bliss here in the future. We've met Steve who came to greet us during our stay. He's a friendly guy who loves a chat and was absolutely kind to our small dogs. There's a nice park along the Onkaparinga River which is a short walk across the road. The township of Clarendon is on walking distance and there's a great Opshop around the corner!

Beautifully kept grounds ~ you can see the work that is put into it to keep the grass so green and the amenities spotless.
Nicest laundry/toilets we have seen on our trip and recommend the walk down to the water’s edge.
Highly recommend but be aware that it is on a busy road so noise at the cliff top sites is dependant on the wind

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!

Really nice stay, the hut site is quite private up on the hill and has views out over the nearby valleys and hills. The hut itself is great to get out of the wind - open on 2 sides and a great place to watch the sun set from. The hosts are wonderful and asked if we wanted to watch them feed the various animals on the farm. Recommend a stay!
