Leave the noise of the city behind and travel to Noojee, a town named after the Aboriginal word for contentment or place to rest.
Surrounded by lush native bush and towering tree ferns, this picturesque town on the Latrobe River sits on the main access route to the ski fields of Mt Baw Baw and is home to a wide range of heritage and natural attractions.
The property consists of 5 acres with a river, so you can set up a tent right next to the river and fish for dinner. The house is about 100 meters away from the camping area, but there are about 1000 Oregon trees that are 50 years old, so you can't see each other well, so you can enjoy nature freely.
4WD is recommended for easy access. We recommend tents/swags.
4WD with Heavy trailer is still very hard to enter when it is wet.
Guests will have access to a toilet throughout their stay. There is a communal fire pit available, so guests can enjoy a campfire on the cool evenings. Please abide by any local fire restrictions during your stay.
You can walk from my house to Noojee Heritage Centre, Trestle Bridge, Alpine Trout Farm, and Noojee Hotel for a delicious pizza, Cool beer from tool sheed and coffee from red duck cafe. You can drive to Toorongo Falls, Ada Tree in 10 minutes and Baw Baw Ski Resort in 40 minutes.

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.

A lovely stay with Kim. It’s a stunning place next to the river, and we loved being able to bring our dog. The resident dogs are adorable too. Being within walking distance to town and dining options was a huge plus.

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 had such a relaxing stay here. The campsite is peaceful with a beautiful view of the river and surrounding nature. It was also really nice to properly disconnect from our phones for the weekend.
Kim was incredibly welcoming. She even surprised us with fresh Korean pancakes while we were setting up (it was 10/10 so delicious).
We visited on a rainy weekend and our AWD SUV had no issues getting in or out of the campsite.
Kim’s pets were the absolute highlight and truly made the trip memorable. We adored them and would 100% come back.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway with a genuinely kind host.

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.
