76km from Balwyn · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
Your choice of your very own 10 acres of pasture, although you will have to share it with wallabies, bandicoots, a variety of birds and the occasional echidna.
Views of Bass Strait and Western Port and walking distance to PHILLIP ISLAND Winery.
Only 5 minutes drive to great surf and swimming beaches and 7 minutes to the Penguin Parade.
Now for the best part. We are located in the "Dark Sky" of PHILLIP ISLAND, with amazing opportunities for astrophotography or simply stargazing in peace and quiet under the Milky Way, only the sound of distant surf crashing and wind through the trees.

Paddock location but good wind protection from the huge pine trees. Large area for each camp spot. Wayne was very nice, stopped for a chat each day. Fabulous location, away from towns and people and close to major attractions (Race track, Penguin Parade, winery etc)

Had a great time camping on the top paddock. Views were breathtaking and the location of the paddock itself was very central to all the fun things that are on offer on Phillip Island. Will be back sometime!

We loved our stay at Sommerleigh! So quiet, so rustic, perfect. Waking up to the sounds of birds (or maybe a mooing cow) was complete serenity.

Sommerleigh was like stepping into a fairytale. Being on your own little island provides peace and serenity which is hard to find without going off grid. We loved the various living zones and general ambience. We were entirely comfortable and ‘zen’ throughout our stay and would highly recommend.

Lovely, quiet, well-maintained place to camp, perfectly close to every wonderful thing Phillip Island has to offer while providing a relaxing, tree-lined home base. Hosts were friendly and made us feel welcome on their land. Excellent space to set up a gazebo and camp chairs, sit back, and enjoy the birds, sunset, and starry sky.

We absolutely loved Wayne and Deb’s camping spot on the hill. It was quiet and had huge amounts of room for our two young boys to run around and ride their bikes on the grass. Something very magical about it too ☺️

We have stayed at Sharon & Richie’s paddocks a couple of times, and absolutely love it. It is so peaceful there, yet only 10 min drive from town, and Richie is always so welcoming and hospitable. Will definitely be coming back for a few more stays.

Wayne is a great host that does regular check ins to make sure all guests are happy during their stay. There is a water tap up the top of the hill (close to site 2) which is super handy.
