In response to a recent review, I will point out that the driveway is a gravel farm track. Normal 2Wd cars have not had any recent issues.
We have some fantastic views from the hill up and down the Murundindi Valley, especially at sunset. We're located only a few short km's from Wilhelmina Falls and Murundindi Scenic Reserve, you get the best part of the river, without the crowds. We are a
short drive from Melbourne, and easy access to the townships of Yea and Yarra Glen for supplies if you need them.
Amazing, abundant
and rare bird life to enjoy and photograph. (see guests photos). I am hoping to increase the nesting and habitat for as many local birds as possible, which has improved, but can get better with Your help. Not destroying large logs and tree's is first and foremost. But if you are inclined , funds for creating nesting spots are greatly appreciated. You can directly ask for donations to go towards specific prospects/ projects. Tawney frog mouths, king parrots, and many, many other birds call this place home. For donations specific to conservation, please contact me direct.
With recent changes,
Temporarily, removing site 2. please contact me for regulars.
With no light pollution this is the ideal spot for star gazing.

We had a fantastic stay at Galea Ranch! It's in the perfect location for exploring Marysville, the Cathedral Ranges, and the many beautiful waterfalls, which were flowing spectacularly after the heavy rain earlier in the week.
The property was immaculate and clearly designed with campers in mind. There were great fire pits, fun play areas for the kids, and our children absolutely loved feeding the Highland cows and the other friendly animals.
Sharelle was wonderful to deal with, making the booking process easy and communicating clearly throughout. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning to explore more of the area

Ease of communication via app, from greeting us at arrival to showing us to our campsite & prompt attention when had power troubles from Daemon & Sara is highly commendable. Gorgeous site close to the river, a short walk to the clean toilets & shower. The hot water was good,
Marley made itself at home too, the children enjoyed playing with the dog. Ample space to run around and not too close to the river for their safety too. First camp for half the group, though it might have been crazy to kickstart with winter camp, with hot fireplace, electric blankets & hot water, it was a very memorable camp for us all. Thanks again for hosting us at your lovely farm, Daemon & Sara😊

We had the most amazing 2-night winter camping experience here. If you're looking for peace, nature, and a place to truly unwind, this campsite is perfect.
Waking up to the gentle sounds of the flowing river, birds singing in the background, and the rustling leaves was incredibly relaxing. The riverside setting is absolutely beautiful and serene, making it the ideal escape from the busy city.
Despite camping in winter, the facilities made our stay so comfortable. The warm showers were such a treat after a chilly day outdoors, and the toilets were spotless, well-maintained, and surprisingly comfortable.
What made our stay even more special was the owner's genuine hospitality. Michael took the time to check in on us to make sure we were doing well and asked if there was anything we needed. That personal touch made us feel truly welcome. As a lovely bonus, he even shared fresh lemons from his own trees with us!
It's rare to find a campsite that combines beautiful natural surroundings, excellent facilities, and such warm hospitality. Plus it is also close to the town proper where you can just walk or have a quick drive to buy additional necessities. We left feeling refreshed and already planning our next visit.
We will definitely be back and highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a peaceful camping getaway. Thank you for making our stay so memorable! 🌿🏕️💙

Caravaning at the farm was great!
Plenty of space with great view of the bush and wetlands. The sounds of the wetland creatures and animals was very peaceful.
We used one of the farms firepits on the cold evenings and it was great!

We loved camping with loretta! Not only is her property beautiful, she's great for a chat. Happy to be somewhere where the host expects all campers to respect the experience of others.

This is the perfect spot for anyone seeking a cozy camping experience near the river. The location is serene and well-maintained. The owner is very approachable, helpful, and goes above and beyond to ensure guests are comfortable. The farm guard dog is super cute Overall, an excellent place for a relaxing retreat

Where to go
Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road west of Melbourne is one of the world's great scenic road trips, but there’s much more to see and do than snapping a selfie at the Twelve Apostles rock stacks. Zipline above the rainforest in Great Otway National Park, climb lighthouses, watch whales, surf iconic Bells Beach, and pitch a tent on any one of several beachside camping areas. Road tripping doesn't get much better than this.
Gippsland and the Bays
Gippsland stretches east of Melbourne to the sea and north to the border with NSW. Most of the coastline is protected by a string of national parks with fantastic seaside camping spots and holiday parks—and camping at Wilsons Promontory (locals just call it the Prom) on the mainland’s southernmost tip is a must-do at least once. This is also where you’ll find Phillip Island, home to the famous nightly penguin parade.
The Victorian Alps
The High Country is the place to go for winter snow sports and summer mountain bike trails, plus bushwalking. If that sounds too energetic, it’s also home to the Great Alpine Road, one of Australia's best food and wine touring routes (and yes, the scenery is pretty good too).
The Grampians
In the state's west, the Grampians are another mountain playground with a network of bushwalking trails, from quick 2-hour walking tracks to 3-day hikes in the Grampians National Park. This is also where campers can find the highest concentration of Indigenous art in the state. Opt for bush camping sites in the national park or more luxurious campsites at Halls Gap or Dunkeld caravan parks.
Murray Riverlands
Australia's longest river, the mighty Murray forms most of the border with NSW to the north, and all along its length are great beachfront campsites from where you can go for a swim or paddle a kayak, catch a fish, or sit back and watch the world glide by. Elsewhere in the riverlands, ride a restored paddle steamer at Echuca, take a cruise through the largest river red gum forest in the world at Barmah, and dine out in the foodie hot spot of Mildura.
