Secluded in its location, amongst the bushy hills of Hoddles Creek.
Much of the 15 acres is undulating bushland with a track looping the property. The track leads down past a beautiful dam located in the property and weaves its way to border the Kurth Kiln Regional Park. Park near the dam and wake up in the morning to the sounds of the birds and have breakfast by the water.
During the day go to the amazing nearby wineries in the nearby yarra valley and enjoy lunch in style.
Please note: in case of recent rains 2wd/campervans/RVs may have difficulties accessing the site!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The horses were beautiful to watch, and the campsite was clean and well maintained. Our little white dog even went home looking cleaner than we expected!
He also became great friends with Jenny’s dog, which absolutely made our day.
Thanks for hosting us, Jenny - we’ll definitely recommend your place and we’d love to return.

We had a wonderful stay at Kiernan Park Equestrian Centre. Being surrounded by such beautiful countryside, horses, roos and rabbits, it was beyond relaxing. We had a couple of great nights around the fire too. Jenny was the perfect host, taking care of us and chatting whilst our doggos played. Jenny's doggo, Whiz, is gorgeous. We'll definitely be back when we're exploring the Yarra Valley again. Highly recommended.

We loved the feeling of space and calm at Tinkadale Farm. Beautiful green grass stretched out all around us, with a picturesque backdrop of trees and mountains... a great place to relax and unwind. Couldn't resist a visit to the resident goats and their little kids in their own penned-off section of the property - very entertaining! But the unexpected highlight was watching a mother koala with a bubby on her back climb down a tree, sprint across the grass and climb up another tree just behind our van... Soooo special and cute!

We came here for my 40th weekend, and had such a ball. Brendan was really helpful and friendly. I don't think the photos of the natural pool and spa do either of them justice, the outside space is absolutely stunning.
We will all very likely be back again!
