2 nights at Woodleigh - where beach meets bush

We had the great pleasure of staying at Woodleigh for 2 nights. The spot was amazing . Beautiful grassed area next to a stream . Waves crashing just over the road. Lovely camp fire and beautiful gardens. Great place for our dog to roam and very close to the most beautiful beach. Only 2 campsites here so very private. Host was wonderful and welcomed us with her home made Berry jam and brought over firewood . This is a must stay. Don't miss it.

Weekend Trip to Sea Cliff Lookout Bus

Breathtaking! I watched a whale breach multiple times through the binoculars from the deck, had a relaxing soak in the outdoor fire bath, wandered the beautiful forest that surrounds the property, and enjoyed all of the wildlife even a white goshawk and pademelons with joeys! The bus is so comfy, cosy, the fire inside made sure of that. My second, visit and many more to come. A truly beautiful escape.

Great glamping experience in a lovely location. Miles and his family have done a fabulous job with converting the bus into a wonderful place to stay with supporting kitchen and bathroom amenities. The fire was prepared and ready to light with wood ready for night two. With ample options to relax outside or inside along with a super comfy bed. it was a seamless off grid trip. Can recommend the fire bath and thanks for the bottle of wine.

The location is absolutely stunning. It's surrounded by gorgeous forest, you can hear nothing but the wind in the trees and the birds. Yet despite the seclusion there is still a coffee cart in walking distance often set up at the nearby lookout. The bus is surprisingly well insulated and is kept warm with the fireplace even when the temperature drops to freezing outside.

We had a lovely stay at Kath & Alex’s place which was set in a stunning location moments from the beach. The camp site was extremely well maintained on their homestead & they were both super friendly. Would also recommend trying Kath’s blackberry jam which was top notch👌🏻 Definitely the best campsite we’ve been too!

What genuinely lovely people sharing a part of their home. The ground is flat and a small creak runs past. 5 minute walk to the beach. A beautiful tranquil stay.

2 nights at Sea Cliff Lookout Bus

We stayed 2 nights in the Bus and loved it. The view is breathtaking, staying in the bus was great and really comfortable. The fire in the bus keeps you toasty warm. Great fire pit area outside too near the deck. Great to stay in a cool, rustic, bush setting but still have hot water and electricity. Miles was a great host, he communicated quickly and suggested things to do, the bus and area were clean, firewood was a plenty and the firewood was already in the fire inside ready to light and quickly get warm. We want to go back, and would 100% recommend!

Beautiful and private spot in a great location, close to the beach. Kathryn and Alex were very welcoming even with a surprise booking only an hour earlier! Very peaceful and everything you need without being surrounded by other people. Able to sit by the fire and watch the wildlife go past or sneak in to the campsite. If you are looking for a lovely spot close to Adventure Bay, we highly recommend.
