Our property is located in Canuda, the terrain is hilly with several clear, flat spots good for camping. The entire 33 acres is available for you to explore on a nature walk. 

Any clear area within the boundary is available to camp in but a site needs to be booked and I will suggest an appropriate location.

Being a declared scrub block it is undisturbed and snakes are present but if you leave them alone they will mind their own business.

Coastal Calm at Cape Douglas

This laid-back haven offers open farmland views, starlit skies, and the friendly vibe of a small coastal community.

Further down the coast, discover surf breaks and secret fishing coves. Just a 10-minute drive away, the neighbouring township of Port MacDonnell invites you to grab a coffee, enjoy local fish & chips, or unwind by the jetty and playground.

Serenity now, just across the road; great for yoga, fishing,  connecting to nature, a kayak or a paddle.

This is the view of the farm lands. The camp site is up higher than the water course.

This is your little piece of grass - level, nicely mowed, ready for your RV, a glass of wine & cheese platter and even a little game of croquet😍
