Such a peaceful place to stay. The sunsets through the trees are lovely. Looking out on the farmland with cows and paddocks was very relaxing. We loved the friendly highland cow in the next paddock too, who was very welcoming. It is a short drive into Mt Gambier but far enough away to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere which we loved.

We had a lovely stay at Pine Ridge Purple. It was a great base to explore Mt Gambier and the surrounding areas. It’s about a 10 minute drive into Mt Gambier. It was very quiet and relaxing. The site was large and mostly level - no issue with towing our caravan in or setting up. Natasha was fabulous and gave us a tour of her farm animals including getting to meet her adorable miniature goats! A beautiful farm stay.

Great paddock for an overnighter, plus they have a Highland Cow (say less). We are on our way back to Perth from Melb and this served as a nice spot to pull in for a night. Freezing cold and rainy but the highland cow (Nin) and the cows next paddock over were a nice treat to say hi to despite the weather. We’re traveling in a swag with our dog. Paddock was level and fire pit was provided. No complaints! Thank you

Due to wind we swapped our stay at Paddock 2 to Shady 2. The spot was private and sheltered from the wind. We also decided to take a tour of the farm, meet the camels and sample some camel milk and ice cream. It was lovely to meet Tara who was very friendly and gave a very interesting tour. We felt very welcomed on the property and were able to take an evening walk and have another look at the camels. Perfect for an off-road self-contained trip.

What a fabulous spot to explore Mt Gambier, only 10min out of town! The sites are HUGE, it was so peaceful, great for the kids to run around, and if you prefer space than being crammed in a caravan park, this is perfect. You need to be fully self contained. Owners were super friendly & even gifted us a jar of their delicious local honey. Would definitely recommend 🤗

Loved our stay here! Very large sites make you feel secluded. Not on a main road or next to a road so felt safe leaving the van unattended to explore the region. Owners very lovely and welcoming.

Such a beautiful place to stay. We stayed during the week and had the whole place to ourselves for all but one night, and the sites were well spaced so even when people were there it felt private. Beautiful views to wake up to and the sunsets were incredible. Hosts were lovely and gave us a jar of their honey before we left. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is wanting to be close to town but is looking for somewhere a bit on the quieter side.
