Mt Martha Bushland Hideaway

This property was originally part of a large farmland, divided into 5 acre lots. When we purchased in 1997, there wasn't a single tree on the place.
Over the years, we have revegetated the property with native and indigenous bushland, created a wetland that attracts many native animals including birds, lizards, possums and frogs to name a few.

Stargazers

Our property is located right in the middle of the beautiful Bass Coast and allows easy access to all the stunning beaches, walks and wildlife that this part of the coast has to offer.We are 2 minutes from the Bass River which has calm water and is great spot for kayaking and swimming. If you are looking for a beach then Kilcunda & San Remo are only a 10 minutes drive away.We are also close to Maru koala & animal park and the famous Penguin Parade. San Remo has a number of café and restaurant options and the Bass coast has a number of beautiful walking and bike riding trails all within easy reach. Five years ago we set out to find acreage because we were relocating a spectacular house. The property had to suit our future Home. We always loved the Bass Coast, many treasured childhood memories of Phillip Island and surrounds. So we found this lovely property by a miracle and decided to move to Bass - 5 years later here we are. This area is rich in Australian history, beautiful beaches, undulating hills, wildlife, the list goes on. A great lifestyle for the whole family. We are literally a living proof, with 3 generations living under one roof. We would love to share this experience with others. Our large, grassy sites are the perfect place to set up camp after a day of exploring and to enjoy the ambiance and the serenity of the starlit sky. You might be lucky enough to spot a shooting star.Seasonal farm fresh produce can be made available. Try some of our delicious Free Range Eggs, Pure Aussie Honey, and our local Dairy produce. If you'd like us to Pre order a BBQ pack from our local butchers, just give us 24 hours notice. Other essentials are available at our store.Due to restrictions in the area, we are unfortunately unable to allow fires at this time.Anything else we haven't covered, just ask your hosts Desmond & Barbara.

Krystal Waters

Located on Phillip Island Road just before the town of San Remo and the bridge to Phillip Island. The property is 26 acres with beach frontage to Western Port Bay and views of French Island. 

The land has been used for pasture, mostly for cattle, with a large dam wall which at one time had a small gauge train track on top running to the old port of San Remo. These days the property is used as a hobby farm with a few cattle, a vegetable garden, some fruit trees, and replanting of native trees.

We offer three RV/tent sites on the property, with our caretaker also residing onsite. While the sites ensure privacy, guests may encounter others during their stay since restroom facilities are shared among all campers. There is 1 shower with hot water and 1 flushing toilet. Site 1 stands apart from the other two sites, equipped with both power and water. Sites 2 and 3 are situated 20 meters apart, however, guests can spread out more if they do not need power.

We're currently in the process of expanding our property, constructing several new sheds. As a result, you might notice building materials on-site. We've made every effort to separate these materials from the campsites and keep them out of the way.

Our site is on a very busy main road and is easy to miss if you’re driving fast. I have a big sign on our gate but you may need to slow down in order to see it! The GPS should guide you right to the property. 

Please note, because of our elevated location the winds can be strong at times - but the views make it worth it in our opinion!

Access to rocky shoreline via trail along fence line. Will have to walk along tall grass, but doable.
