R&R Off-Grid Cabin
4. R&R Off-Grid Cabin
50km from Chadstone · 2 sites · Lodging
A perfect slice of Bushland bliss situated on 24 acres of land, 10 mins drive from Whittlesea township. Hidden away in the valley the cabin offers a cosy and secluded retreat away from the hustle and bustle.
Sleeps 4 with a rustic queen bunk. Plenty of floor space for an extra mattress if required. There is an indoor wood fireplace, couch, camp toilet, handheld hot water shower. Rainwater tank and outdoor sink. BBQ provided, but for the ultimate off-grid experience why not fire up the vintage wood fired cast iron stove. Indoor or outdoor dining, designated fire pit and fire cooking items provided.
Relax and enjoy a drink on the deck or explore the property and spot the abundant wildlife that we share the land with.
10 minutes drive into town for all your needs with the local IGA, but our recommendation is the local butcher and the award winning bakery! It’s a country town so not much open on Sundays - plan ahead.

We had a wonderful time at the ranch.
Wayne and Sharelle are very welcoming.
The site is very well maintained and clean. The toilet and shower are a short walk from the site and are kept in excellent condition.
They provided lots of play equipment to keep the kids busy.
The paddock is shared by 2 campsites but privacy is provided with a fence and you have plenty of your own space.
Overall a beautiful, peaceful site in a great central location. We had a fantastic time.

Nic was an amazing person; extremely welcoming and going above and beyond for us, yet still respecting our privacy. Sites were large and plenty of space for your set up. Really enjoyed our stay.

We loved the idyllic setting down by the lake which felt secluded and clean. The access was easy, even with a van and Nic the host showed us around. The site is great with some really interesting and fun accommodation options if camping isn’t your thing.

What a beautiful place. Birds galore and there are apparently platypus in the creek. Gorgeous and well kept little reserve obviously loved by generations of people. Gifted to the public by a visionary from long ago, it’s testament to what a little love and respect can do for the environment. Beautifully maintained but wear your thongs, sandals, shoes as there are one or two three corner jacks around.

Our stay at Luke’s land was nothing short of wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. Luke went above and beyond to share all the details about the local area, giving us great tips on nearby attractions, restaurants, and things to do in town. It made exploring so much easier and added a personal touch to our visit.
The campsite itself was lovely and peaceful, nestled in a quiet spot surrounded by nature. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. And let’s not forget about Roger, the friendly pet rooster! He was such a character, always hanging around and bringing a smile to our faces.
Overall, Luke’s hospitality made our stay extra special. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm getaway!
