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.

This was our second time to this spot and it did not disappoint. Absolute privacy and tranquility. It’s the perfect t location and the sites are flat and comfortable. Our dogs had an absolute ball, as did the kids. We also got the most delicious veg box on our way out. Thanks for having us again, Keren! We’ll be back again soon :)

Had a great time camping on the top paddock. Views were breathtaking and the location of the paddock itself was very central to all the fun things that are on offer on Phillip Island. Will be back sometime!

We have stayed at Sharon & Richie’s paddocks a couple of times, and absolutely love it. It is so peaceful there, yet only 10 min drive from town, and Richie is always so welcoming and hospitable. Will definitely be coming back for a few more stays.

Rancho Nirvana is a fantastic spot for a relaxing camping experience. Marc is a wonderful host and Murray the dog was a most welcome guest during our stay. Amenities are excellent/ as advertised. We didn’t use the pool but others took advantage during some very hot weather. Great location, close enough for coastal excursions etc. A great stay.

Lovely property ! Richie was great in accomodating us, even when we turned up a day early for our booking (my bad!). Each group had an entire paddock to themself which made it a relaxing experience. We headed to the winery next door for an afternoon pizza and wine which was lovely.
Would definitely stay again!

Marc is a great host and keeps his property in perfect appearance. His dog Murray is very friendly and the chickens and geese roam around freely and kept our children and grand children entertained. The swimming pool and trampoline was appreciated as well. We would definitely return.

Marc’s little piece of serenity was just what we needed as a family coming together after Christmas. The boys loved the chickens and Murray was just a delight, making himself at home in our camp.
Nothing was too much trouble for Marc.

Great location, close enough to cycle to local wineries. Easy access and level site. Nice facilities although we didn’t use them (kitchen, pool etc), great to sit by the campfire under the stars. Power, water and clean indoor WC. We stayed for 2 nights, Marc was friendly & helpful and Murray the Staffy was very sweet.
