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 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

Lovely spot, surrounded by trees filled with birds and kangaroos hopping by the creek. Pet pony who loves a pay.
Generous campfire and wood offering.
Toilet a separate building off the house (50mtr walk).
Easy bike rides and access to walking trails.
Some might consider it close to house, essentially a large (pretty) backyard.
You will hear neighbors dogs barking. Owner had some music playing with friends (Sat night) but promptly turned off when kids bedtime rolled around.

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

Took our caravan to spend a couple nights and had a great experience. Beautiful scenery and quiet area with nobody else to be seen! Quite hilly but we were able to find a flat spot that suited us perfectly.

We spent 4 nights camping here and thought it was a nice spot. There isn't any designated camping spots so we set up on top of the hill with nice views through the paddocks to the south.
In the morning their are nice sunrises and lots of kangaroos hopping around.
Plenty of firewood to keep the family warm and toast those Marshmallows!
The host, Gordon, is really friendly and accommodating too.

Thank you for having us! It's beautiful land with lovely views.
There are hills but also flat parts that you can easily camp on. Although we had to leave early due to a family emergency, we had a lovely relaxing time there. The sheep were quite curious and the lambs were cute.
Zulfiqar was very easy to communicate with which was greatly appreciated.
Just to make a comment, this is a farm that has animals, so there will be some animal droppings in some areas where the animals frequent- I saw a review from someone that seemed surprised by this. The land is large and has different sections, there were plenty of areas without droppings.
Overall we are looking forward to coming back in the future with some friends.
