We had a relaxing stay at Nirvana., The property is well laid out and felt quiet and private even though there were a few campers there during our stay. Our kids absolutely loved the trampoline and exploring the property to check out the chickens and neighboring horse. They also enjoyed the company of a few other children who stayed. The location was close to everything on the peninsula so we were able to easily explore the area. Would love to come back soon!

Fantastic spot! Marc’s property is amazing…. all the modern conveniences you’d need and want but secluded enough to feel like you’re a bit off grid. We had a lovely view of the neighbouring farms and a gorgeous horse who came up to say a few times! The property is very well maintained and even with 4 or 5 other guests, we had enough space to feel like we were the only ones there. Can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely be back!! The kids loved the trampoline!!!

Convenient location for Torquay - walking distance to most things and the beach. Unpowered sites are a little slim - long but very narrow and a lot of the caravan sites looked the same. All the amenities were clean and working well.

Caleb and Clara’s site is so thoughtfully set up! They brought out eggs, bread and wood fire (you can purchase for so cheap). We set our tent a little too far from the power source but Caleb loaned us an extra long lead!
It’s perfect for those of us who want an easy camp!
There is a drop toilet (the cleanest compost toilet ever!) You could hook up a shower if staying longer as the creek was low.
Safe to leave your belongings and wander off too.

Weekend Trip to Silver Creek Escape
Clara and Caleb have set up a little oasis at the front of their property. Whilst the house is in view of the campsite, you are very much left to enjoy the spacious camp area to yourself. The Silver Creek is just across the road and they are right next to the entrance to Kinglake NP.
You will be the only campers there and can enjoy tank water, power and a very clean compostable toilet. A campfire is also set up for use and you can purchase wood, early check-ins, eggs and sourdough bread.
Highly recommended for people who really want to get away to a quiet secluded area.
