Great hospitality from Greg Great location general store and pub with in walking distance the publican is lovely a real wag of a guy and happy Nothing was to much to ask of Greg the owner of the property liked the idea that there is only 6 to 8 camp-sites allowed at one time which is great you can choose your own location to pitch a tent

Wonderful hosts, beautiful views, and all alone due to the size of the paddocks. 2 minute drive to a wonderful surf beach that's super quite (end of the road past the winery). Will absolutely return!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sharon & Richie’s hip camp! It was so beautiful and peaceful. Richie went out of his way to ensure we found a great spot on his property. We wished we could have stayed longer, it was our favourite spot we stayed in on our recent trip!

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.

The serenity and lovely kept grounds at Mira Mira was perfect for my off grid rebalance with nature in my camper van Nic the host was friendly and happy for me to stay another night and build my own campfire. I fell asleep to the symphony of frogs under a starry sky This is my new go to for a getaway Highly recommend
