4 nights at Shep’s Farm

Such a beautiful peaceful place. We had a wonderful view of the dam and surrounding farmland. We were lucky enough to encounter a platypus in 2 of the dams, we were visited by a wallaby and saw plenty of bird life. Steve was very helpful and he made us feel very welcome! Highly recommend staying a few days at Sheps Farm!!!

This was the perfect end to my Tasmania trip, the private hot tub was so relaxing, & the addition of native essential oils from Bert the owner was amazing. Smelt delicious & no mosquito's! Lots of birdlife, & as it got dark the fairy lights came on & I was visited by wallabies, pottoroos & even a tiny tree frog! Highly highly recommend, will definitely be back next visit.

Absolutely fantastic place. Location is great. Only 15 minutes to Spirit terminal. You can base yourself here and explore so much - Sheffield, Latrobe, Cradle Mountain, Deloraine and so much more. Or just sit by the dam, relax and watch the animals, lookout for the platypus! If you like a fish there is trout for catch and release. Steve and Michelle are very accommodating and their hipcamp is certainly a bit of paradise. Would totally recommend booking here.

2 nights at Duckbill Banks Camp & Hot Tub

Duckbill Banks is set on a generous, flat, grassy meadow next to the creek. Sites are well separated and sheltered by trees. Bert set us up with a large shared wood fired hot tub with our one fellow guest on the first night after we'd all decided we were happy for a chat and with a smaller tub next to our site on the second night. It's a lovely way to spend the evening and watch the stars. We'd highly recommend Duckbill Banks as a lovely place to camp. Unfortunately the platypus' didn't make an appearance while we were there.
