The host was very friendly and happily answered all our questions, which made the stay even easier. The property is large, with plenty of wildlife and farm animals wandering around, adding to the charm. We only stayed for two nights but truly wished we could have stayed longer.

A spectacular place to stay. From lying in bed in the large tent watching the sheep and birds, cooking over the open fire, and enjoying the breeze while in the outdoor bath, we enjoyed every moment of it. Greeted warmly by the host on arrival. Adequate amenities provided for cooking and cleaning, and plenty of blankets to stay warm. Easy to buy firewood from the hosts - we let them know beforehand, and the firewood already at our campsite ready to use. We also really enjoyed the short hike up the hills to be greeted with amazing views. Would highly recommend, and hope we can come here again soon.

Weekend Trip to Rodborough Vale

Second visit to Rodborough Vale and still a firm favourite. Beautiful location, fishing was excellent and large sized campsite (weeping willow). Mark, the host, is welcoming and keeps the sites in good condition. Easy drive from Bendigo or Ballarat, highly recommend. Dog friendly for well behaved dogs.
