Warm fires, starry skies, seclusion! Great for caravans, camper trailers, tents and more! Nestled in the valley of a 1000 hills and on the land of the Taungurung people, this little patch of hilly heaven is home to a small family of farm animals, dog and their two owners. With its rugged natural beauty, amazing sunsets and starry skies, it was hard not to want to share its beauty with others. The property is the gateway to Murrindindi, has power and water for campers, a dam if you enjoy yabbying and perfect for intimate, small groups. We offer a flat campsite and ridge top campsite. Low gear and 4wd preferable during very wet months. NOTE: Campfires subject to fire restrictions at over summer, please message. Our secluded, flat campsite is surrounded by unspoilt bushland and is home to a multitude of native Australian animals. Our ridge-top campsite also features beautiful bush, and some amazing views. With over 50 acres of rugged hilly bushland, no neighbours in sight and tracks to explore, this is the perfect place for those who enjoy a challenging bush walk, privacy and a sky to watch the stars. Campers are required to be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure. Campfires are welcome but must be contained and campers must respect any restrictions in place at the time of their stay. Pets are welcome.

1 night at Green Gully Farmstay Camp Paddock

Our stay at Luke’s land was nothing short of wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. Luke went above and beyond to share all the details about the local area, giving us great tips on nearby attractions, restaurants, and things to do in town. It made exploring so much easier and added a personal touch to our visit. The campsite itself was lovely and peaceful, nestled in a quiet spot surrounded by nature. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. And let’s not forget about Roger, the friendly pet rooster! He was such a character, always hanging around and bringing a smile to our faces. Overall, Luke’s hospitality made our stay extra special. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm getaway!

1 night at Green Gully Farmstay Camp Paddock

Me and my mates enjoyed Camping in the spacious Farm Land. Luke provieded us with a keg and firewood to make a Fire under the Stars at Night, which made this experience extra Special. Luke is a nice Host and his roaster Roger was great company. I recommend this Place to people who enjoy Nature and the simple and quiet Style of Camping. The Camp Site is safe, private and you have the Chance to encounter some wallabies and birds.

Great spot and very private. Nice area to explore and do walking trips, dogs loved it. Unfortunatley could stay only 1 night instead of two due to really heavy rain (our set up is not that advanced…) But would book it again.

3 nights at Bushy Ridge Hideaway

Terrific place to camp for a few days - having access to power and water was an absolute game changer and there is plenty of room for those who might to want to set up further down the ridge without utilities. The dogs loved the open space and there was plenty of firewood around (and gathered for us on this occasion). Close to Yea and Flowerdale - just perfect for a short break! The other campsite is not far away from the powered site on Bushy Ridge but was far enough away that both sites feel secluded. We saw kangaroos and some deer amble through the site one morning and the birdlife was as to be expected! This site is well worth considering!

Stayed at Bushy Ridge for a quick weekend away with the kids and it was perfect. Power and water close at hand, great little bush walks for the kids as well as feeding the farm animals. Great hosts, highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Green Gully Farmstay Camp Paddock

Beautiful peaceful camp in the heart of Phillip Island. We absolutely loved the views over the paddocks and watched beautiful sunrises while wallabies, rabbits and cows wandered through the fog. The location was perfect for Cowes and all the attractions and the owner was helpful including giving us lots of tips. The onsite micro brewery was a great option of have on the doorstep and no issues with noise or patrons as you’re located well away from it all. We got our 20ft van in ok with bit of manuvering around the trees and fencing, but it’ll be even better with the new gates that are due to be installed. To have peace and lots to do all only an hour and a bit out of Melbourne it’s the perfect getaway 👌

Luke was incredibly welcoming. The paddock you camp in is flat with a fantastic fire pit. It was very quiet at night and you had heaps of space around you and between others. Plus the added bonus of a brewery right next to you was great. I would highly recommend staying here.
