We enjoyed another perfect little getaway on Karyn's property. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect to relax and unwind from the daily grind. We were lucky enough to be visited by the resident sea eagles and also had a friendly turkey pop in for a visit.

The perfect place to camp for a few days. The site is huge, flat and runs along the side of the river. It’s beautiful country. Derek is a fantastic host and also respectful of your privacy whilst you’re camping there. The horses he has at his property became great friends to our kids! Great place. Cheers Derek.

This is our second time camping at Derek's farm and his gem is now our favourite spot in Tassie. Derek is one of the nicest hosts ever. He has so much knowledge of the area. He brough some carrots and apples for the kids to feed the friendly horses. We had had a wonderful time and have already booked for the new year. Thank you Derek for sharing your beautiful property. You need to be fully self contained.

What a view!!! Absolutely loved our stay. The loogoon was like a sheet of glass almost everyday. There was morning frosts and fog, but this added to the experience, and we did camp at the back of winter. The only thing I would strongly recommend is that if your towing, make sure you have a 4x4.

Just had a long weekend at Cluny Lagoon. If you like bush settings, peace and tranquillity this is the place for you. About an hours drive North of Hobart and roughly 15 minutes outside Ouse. There's a flat camping area by the water, plenty of room for our 22ft Snowy. We will definitely be returning here.

Derek's place is stunningly beautiful, you are camping right on the river with plenty of flat space to perch. We have a rig that's the max size recommended for the site and it was a breeze to get in and out. The vista is stunning, peaceful and the site is so private and very well maintained, with clean tables and chairs and fire pits to use. The free firewood appreciated. Great communication and clear instructions. A very special place, thank you Derek.

Had such a great stay at Eventide Sanctuary with my dog! Peaceful bush vibes, super friendly animals wandering around, and a magical sunrise in the morning. Loved sitting by the campfire under the stars. You can really tell Ian cares about the land and the animals — such a special spot to relax and unwind, even just for a night.
