Welcome to Casa Cucina or the River House, a whimsical, quiet space to chill and enjoy the unique environment, calm and beauty.
PLEASE NOTE UP FRONT, Our page says 1 site, this site can hold 4 caravans, tents or trailers at any one time, in one group. Each Van/ tent allows for 2 adults and 2 children under 16. Extra adults (16 and over) are charged at $20 per night per site.
We are 1 hour East of Melbourne along the M1, (and a couple of kms off the M1). Situated in West Gippsland. Casa Cucina is a feast for the senses and very close by you can enjoy the alpine majesty of the Baw Baw Plateau, the Bunyip State Forest, the (mostly) lush green valleys, to the rivers and streams… there is always something to do in West Gippsland for the curious. Other attractions in the area are Gumbuya World, Nangara Reserve, Noojee and Neerim South, PLUS of course the wineries.
The Tarago River backs onto our small yet spacious, open yet shaded space. The river is shallow for paddling, not really ‘swimmable’, a lovely spot to cool off on our warm summer days, or a mesmerising place to sit, watch, read, contemplate, draw or write. Some large old Mountain Ash remain along the river bank, with lots of new plantings. It is not uncommon to see an echidna, a variety of stunning birdlife, and on dusk, maybe a wombat family and folks, we also host a family of platypus if you are very quiet - mainly seen at dawn or dusk.
Our river block can hold up to 4 caravans, tents or trailers (under 10 metres) in one group (one booking). In addition, the upper adjoining block can accommodate 2 caravans (enquire for this option). This is a single group occupancy site so you can enjoy the privacy of your own group.
If you wish to hook into our powered site, please add $10 per night, per van. All campers will also have access to our Casa Cucina gorgeous eclectic, quirky community space to sit in out of the weather. Please note: This is not an accommodation space.
As a reminder, all campers will need to be Self Contained as we have no toilet facilities, no access to fresh water, cold showers only and no cooking facilities.
Also remember if you wish to have a fire (not during fire season however) in our fire pit, you MUST bring your own wood.

This is a gorgeous place, it’s quiet and secluded. There is a fence around the site which is great to have your dog off leash. The river is a lovely place to cool down and the little cottage is so cute. We enjoyed reading a few books and guides that gave us ideas of what to explore around the area. The site was clean and well
Maintained. Directions easy to find. Thanks so much Chris, we would love to come back.

It’s a privilege to stay at Casa Cucina! A beautiful space, which is easily accessible and flat to suit all types of camping. Chris is the perfect host, getting in touch ahead of check-in and giving us a warm welcome. Super easy to find and access.
The nearby Robin Hood Inn has a courtesy bus, which can come pick you up and drop you back again. Highly recommend a stay here.

We had a beautiful, quiet stay at this riverside Hipcamp with our caravan. The site was peaceful and perfectly positioned beside the river, with the gentle sound of flowing water making it incredibly relaxing. It was easy to access, spacious and private, giving us plenty of room to set up and unwind. If you’re chasing a simple, serene escape, this spot is a gem.

We were very happy during our stay and loved the peace and quiet and views of fruit trees and tree lined forest. Listening to the Bellbirds and watching the Australian Wood ducks traverse the field was a delight. The camp fire setting was lit up at night around the water, very tranquil. Close to many interesting places to visit and walking tracks galore. Tara was very helpful sending us photos for direction onto the farm and came to greet us on arrival. Enjoyed eating the fresh fruit from the trees too.
You are rather exposed when the wind blows through and a 25 minute drive to the nearest dump point should be taken into consideration
if you stay a number of nights.

We had a really lovely and relaxing stay on Chris’s beautiful block.
Arrival instructions were excellent and very easy to follow. The first thing we noticed was the freshly cut grass… it was lovely and short and made setting up camp really easy and comfortable.
The river hut was quirky and cute, with lots of charming little knickknacks inside. The alpacas and surrounding nature were a real highlight. We were lucky enough to spot a wombat, lots of birds, and even eels in the river during our stay.
At night you can hear some cars and horns from the freeway, so just something for future visitors to be aware of. The block also has large gum trees and a branch did come down during our stay on the last windy night (luckily causing no damage or injury to us). That’s just part of being out in nature and didn’t take away from our experience!
The block was immaculate, the only piece of rubbish was a HJ’s bag in the fire pit (which we assumed might have been for kindling) and wasn’t used during our total fire ban stay - but the fire pit would be a lovely addition if we could have used it!
Overall, we all had a wonderful stay. It was peaceful, relaxing and a great way to unwind in nature on Chris’s beautiful property. The kids had an absolute ball! Thank you for having us!

Once again the stay at this beautiful place has been a fantastic experience! The owner of the land are so lovely. Their animals are part of the experience and you can even feed them carrots!
This time the sky was clear and the stars where shining like diamonds at night time.
Their set up with the hammock, the swing on the trees, the fairy lights and the firecamp bring a beautiful atmosphere to the camp site.
Highly recommend this place for a couple gateways or a family trip with kids.
I will certainly be back.

Stayed at Red Hill Orchard Farm first only 1 night, however if we are back in the area again we will definitely stay again. We arrived late which was no problem to Tara, there's a lovely lake at the bottom of the hill and firepit, to be fair if there was a group of you it would make for a brilliant weekend!
Thanks Tara.

Nestled in a long forested valley and surrounded by fruit trees this magnificent field (it must almost be two cricket pitches in size) is mainly flat with a lower sloping level that leads your eye to a tree lined pond; it is rather magical. We pitched our 7m Mercedes LWB in a great location overlooking the pond. We were the only people there for the first night so had first dibs. Two other families arrived on the second day but they were so far away from us you couldn't communicate even if you shouted. The bird life was fantastic (we hadn't come across a Bell Miner with a call like a hammer striking a wine bottle)
Tara and Steve were great hosts (not even a grumble at us being 15 minutes late due to following HipCamp Google maps link instead of entering the actual address... bit of advice: enter the Stanley's Road house address into your sat nav😉)
We thoroughly enjoyed a wine tasting at Avani vineyard (15 minute walk from the field) which Tara and Steve recommended.
All in all a top spot centrally positioned to explore the South and central regions if the Mornington Peninsula.

Wow had a wonderful, wonderful stay at this very picturesque ‘fruit tree orchard’ in Red Hill South. Lovely greeting from Tara upon arrival. The communication prior was excellent and I found the property with ease. I had the choice of any of the four sites and chose site 1 on the second tier overlooking the fire pit and dam. Wonderful views to the south and experienced great sunrises and sunsets to the west. Very peaceful and my border collie dog loved the open space of the well mowed paddock. Red Hill shops are approximately 3 k’s away - with a walking track next to the road to ensure safety. Great place for a coffee. Also did a loop return walk back via the old historic Red Hill Rail trail. I was in a 2 wheel drive motorhome - no issue with the terrain. Would definitely recommend Tara’s land for R&R and walking. Many wineries within close proximity also. Stunning views everywhere you look.will definitely be returning.

We had 4 families totalling 8 adults, 6 kids and 5 dogs. Heaps of room for us to set up camp. Setting up alongside the trees meant afternoon shade which was great considering the hot weather we had. We all loved the highland cows and Peach the pony! Kids got to feed the chooks which they thought was hilarious. Wayne and Sharelle were absolutely lovely, checking on us and offering some fantastic ideas of things to do and places to see. Unfortunately we had to leave a couple of days early due to the Longwood bushfire but will definitely be back to make up on our lost time and continue adventuring!
