1 night at Bruny coastal camping & Funky Barn

What a delight! Very wellcoming host, super cozy place, the warm spot in the cold Tasmanian winter (i usually go on camping but super glad I took this stay). Kitchen well equipped, lovely seating area, incredible stars off the window next to the bed. The walk down to the cave at sunrise was amazing.

2 nights at Clifton Beach Coastal Escape

Repeat visit, great spot.

Weekend Trip to Cluny Lagoon

Great river frontage. Private. Natural setting. Host replied to messages very quickly. Awesome pair of sea eagles near by.

Weekend Trip to Ryelands Farm & Vineyard

What an awesome spot. Derek is a wonderful host, friendly and very informative. Setup has tables, great fire pit and wood supplied. There is access to water straight out of the Derwent River, nothing fresher. Great place to go and explore the Mt Field National Park, Gordon Dam or Salmon Ponds and a must is Plenty Cider right next door (to Salmon Ponds). Close enough for a run into New Norfolk for their Saturday morning street market. Gretna Green Hotel is just up the highway.

1 night at Ryelands Farm & Vineyard

Can’t not recommend this place enough !! We had the best stay, the host Derek was so welcoming, thoughtful and helpful. We arrived to a pristine campsite with a fire ready to go. Derek gave us so much info about the area which we loved as first time visitors !!

1 night at Clifton Beach Coastal Escape

It was such a lovely place to stay to end our holiday in a motohome. The shed is very comfy and fireplace was exactly what was needed on the cold night. Highly recommend

1 night at Cluny Lagoon

We loved our stay at Cluny Lagoon !! We would come back in a heartbeat- so relaxing !!

Weekend Trip to Base Camp Tasmania

Alana & Steve have created the perfect get-away. Away from the crowds, elevated, space, beautiful nature in spades, awesome amenities.. everything you need for a rest. Highly recommended for at least a few days.. if not longer.

4 nights at Creekside Camp

Idealistic little spot, nice little stream gurgling away, nice open green space lots of animals even a white waliby if your lucky. Close to Huon Vally and touristy bits. Loved it. Dmax & Willow 621 8.5m 4.9t gross.

1 night at Cluny Lagoon

Very clean campsite. Booked last minute and host got back to us on the same day. Would recommend to other campers.

2 nights at Clifton Beach Coastal Escape

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights here. Cosy & protected. Great fire - wood supplied. Which was perfect as it was rainy & cold outside. Allan was easy to communicate with & super helpful when there was a alight hiccup with the Hipcamp portal. Must have your own toilet - there are public amenities not far (8-10min walk) at the surf club if you prefer. Loved the private outdoor hot shower. Sink, fridge &power. Was a great treat to extend out of our little caravan into our timber retreat Bird life & little bandicoots - there was even an elephant seal at Clifton Beach visiting !

Weekend Trip to Ryelands Farm & Vineyard

Absolutely picturesque spot on the river. Derek made us feel so welcomed and even had a surprise for the kids. Looking forward to visiting again in the warmer months to swim in the river.

1 night at Eventide Sanctuary

Ian has set up his sanctuary so well for those passing by and for anyone who wants to stay. He shows such empathy and compassion for all of his animals and birds (both domesticated and wild). The views around the farm are amazing and being able to interact with the animals and birds alike was fantastic. Having the open setup that he has is wonderful. I 1000% recommend coming here and having an absolute blast. Wish I could have started longer!! Thanks so much Ian and Wally for making me feel so welcome 😊

Weekend Trip to Clifton Beach Coastal Escape

This place is fantastic, easy to pull in with the big caravan. The setup is very private and the cabin and fireplace was very homely. Much more then just a caravan site! We will be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Camp

Lovely quiet spot to have all to yourself. I can't wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to Cluny Lagoon

We enjoyed a peaceful night at Cluny and were lucky enough to have the whole location to ourselves. The highlight for us was to receive a visit from 3 lovely cows, who were very inquisitive but didn’t stick around. Can’t wait to visit again with the family, would be a great place for the kids.

Weekend Trip to Eventide Sanctuary

We only stayed one night at Eventide Sanctuary, but it was such a memorable and heartwarming experience that we truly wished we had more time. From the moment we arrived, Ian made us feel completely at home. He’s a genuinely kind and generous host, and it’s clear that everything he does is out of love for the animals and the sanctuary he’s built. The property is full of charm and surrounded by nature, with a beautiful variety of animals to meet — goats, alpacas, chickens, ducks, geese, and the gorgeous Highland cattle, and Wally. Each one has its own personality, and it was such a joy just to be around them. You can really feel the care Ian puts into looking after them — it’s more than just a farm; it’s a sanctuary in every sense of the word. The place was cosy and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for our getaway trip in the campervan. It was the perfect way to end our journey — this was our last day in our Tasmanian road trip, and we couldn’t be happier to have saved the best for last. Thank you, Ian, for sharing your little piece of paradise with us. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and grateful. We hope to return one day for a longer visit!

2 nights at Heron Cove, Bruny Island

Lovely private spot on Bruny Island Definitely recommend

1 night at Cluny Lagoon

Such an incredible spot right on the river with views to sit and look at all afternoon, we shared the spot with another couple and plenty of room for the both of us!

Weekend Trip to Clifton Beach Coastal Escape

Beautiful spot to camp up for a few nights! Such a little luxury to have the shed and fireplace at our convenience. Worth noting that the main house is relatively close to the campsite so not as secluded as we thought nonetheless we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

South Bruny, and the Light house When you book our site, you have it all to yourself! Except for sharing it with the wildlife, of course. As the name suggests, there is a family of quolls living on the land and you are very likely to see them! Once dusk arrives and the stars start lighting up the sky, the quolls usually come out to say hi before they start their night activities. Joining the quolls, are the potoroos who are not afraid to come up close and sniff your feet in curiosity. If you are yet to see a quoll and a potoroo in the wild, this is your campsite! Other wildlife includes the endangered Forty Spotted Pardalote and critically endangered Swift Parrots. To access the beach, simply walk through the property to the end of the plot and follow the path. There is an echidna living near the road so keep an eye out for her.

Campfires are allowed but you cannot collect firewood on the property. Please bring your own firewood or add it at the time of booking and we will provide you with firewood for your stay. The land is a conservation area and quolls are known to live in up to 5 nests. They live under the logs and it is an important habitat for the species.
