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.

Had a great stay with my friend, 2 kids & 2 dogs. The host is friendly, kind & accommodating - she squeezed us in for an extra night after we decided we wanted to stay longer!
Her border collie Hankook took a liking to the kids & got along well with my high energy/drive gun dogs, so spent a lot of time hanging out at our camp. My dogs were able to be off-lead full time as the camps are spread out along the river with space/vegetation between, as were other campers dogs if they chose to. There was also a goat on property for vegetation management that would get moved around.
For those reasons, if you have a dog-reactive dog or a dog that is too interested in livestock, this camp site won’t be suitable for you. Also note, there are ticks, so ensure your dogs are on a treatment before you visit & have a tick removal tool on hand!
The river is shallow enough to stand in across all parts (deepest spot was waist height on adult) but the current is strong.
We really enjoyed our visit & will be coming back.

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.

Campsites are right on the rivers edge, although some places have better access down to the river. Sites are unmarked so people pick wherever they feel, but with only 6 groups allowed there is plenty of space. The sites run from the caravan park to under the highway so there is road noise. Bring your own shade as not all sites have trees. The pub is great and is a very short walk away. Floating down the river on pool noodles was a highlight.

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.

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

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.
