Very relaxing stay in a beautiful rural setting. We had the whole paddock to ourselves and Anneke's hosting was lovely. We got introductions to all the animals and were loaned a couple of kites which made my boys day! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we shall be returning.

My family stayed here over the cup weekend. We had a great time with the kids loving feeding the animals and fishing in the dam. The camp area was very clean with fire pit and a bin plus a water tap. The host Anneke was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and kind. With only a short drive into Daylesford the location was great. Highly recommend and we will be back.

We had a great time at Earth's Edge, nice and private and we were blessed with some excellent weather. We really enjoyed the hot tub, the veranda was a bonus and we enjoyed meeting and feeding the goats.

Our second visit. It was lovely to come back, see our favourite goats, now with babies - who were so cute and hilarious. My 10 year old had a wonderful time, as did we. Hot tub under the stars is a perfect way to finish the day's and the hosts fantastic as always.

We had a great weekend camping at the sunset camp site and there was lots of room on nice grass. Me, my girlfriend and dogs had lots of fun patting and feeding the goats and ponies and went for a walk. Anneke was very helpful and cared a lot about her farm and was very welcoming. Thanks Angus

A lovely spot surrounded by goats and horses. Toilet is a long drop, but not in a scary way its a clean and quaint outdoor loo. I camped in my little van and the hosts were very welcoming and helpful. I met Chris and he was very friendly and approachable, assisting me with my access and parking up in the rain. Views are lovely just a great place to relax and just be at one with nature (and goats - I made friends with Rosa and Bernadette).

Great place to stop and camp. We spent 3 x nights tent camping. The views were great. The facilities were superb, especially the composting toilet with hand basin. All were very clean. Judy welcomed us when we arrived and then gave us our privacy during our stay. The kids enjoyed the friendly farm animals and roaming the farm patting the goats. Would definitely recommend to families with young children.

The kids absolutely loved Earths edge and meeting the goats, horses and Donkey. There was so much for them to do and explore. The site is set up with a dedicated camping area with around 3ish sites. The sites have a wood fire hot tub if you choose to add this to your stay. The paddocks with the goats and then the horses are either side of the camping sites making it easy for the kids to explore. Thank you for a lovely stay Judy.

4 nights at Yeramba Sunset Camp Site

Our extended family all got together for an incredible camping experience with Anneke’s absolutely glorious property in Blampied. The camping paddock is impeccable and safely fenced so we could let our dogs (& kids!) race around like lunatics while we were at our camp site. There was bale-leaping and tree-climbing… incredible campfires, smore-making and singalongs… worm-hunting and fishing in the dam… bush-walking and hut-building with a side of “bush golf” down in the beautiful uncleared bushland… feeding and patting miniature ponies and boats and sheep and the cheekiest young alpaca… egg collecting and chook-petting…. it truely was a heavenly 4 nights of wonderful fun. Every single one of us left happily exhausted with over-flowing cups. Anneke is a beautiful and warmly welcoming host who absolutely went above and aboard to ensure everyone was comfortable and had anything and everything they needed…. There was a windy day and out she came with kites for the kids to fly! Our family decided on the very first night that we would make this an annual event at Anneke’s property - it was just such a privilege to stay somewhere so beautifully, and lovingly maintained…. With so much at our doorstep. Thank you for making our stay so magical and memorable for kids & adults alike Anneke! xx

We had a lovely stay at Earth edge with our caravan and two adult children in swags. Was great waking up the amazing views and little goat faces and horses looking at us, as an added a bonus was having a campfire each night. Judy was an amazing host checking in on us each day.

What a wonderful place to camp with family over Easter! We stayed 3 nights. Chris was awesome. The dogs got the run of the place and my daughter was obsessed with the goats (me too). The wood fired hot tub was amazing. Be prepared for dust if the wind gets up but a small detail given the awesome time we had.

We loved tent camping on Judy’s land. The ground was well raked where we pitched our tent. Chris was really helpful. It was wonderful having a campfire and hot tub. The toilet was a really great compost toilet. Excellent coffee & cafe in town. We hope to be back this year before it gets too cold.

We had an amazing time at Judy's property. This was an experience that our kids won't ever forget. They had so much fun interacting with the farm animals. Judy was so good with our kids, also making sure we had everything we needed. The location is amazing, and easy to find. The compost toilet is incredibly clean. We will definitely be coming back!
