Eden Pines is our home on 45 acres of undulating pastures with views of the Tallarook State Forest. Take in the beautiful views as you relax from your campsite or take a stroll around the property and say hello to the many different animals/wildlife nearby. We are not a commercial campground and instead want to share the slower farm and country experience with our guests. We are easy to find just off the Hume FWY and are located nearby to many wineries, the Goulburn River, the Great Victorian Rail Trail and the townships of Seymour, Trawool and Broadford. Come along to unwind and relax from the big smoke and feel free to bring your beloved fur babies, paddle board, kayak or bike. For those with horses - we have a secure paddock with a dam and 20m round yard for horses to be secured overnight. The rail trail is a short 5 min drive where you can float your horses to and enjoy a scenic ride with your companion followed by a meal at the Trawool Estate or Tallarook Pub! Instagram: @eden.pines

Had an amazing experience at Galea Ranch! Wayne and Sharelle are incredibly welcoming and genuine hosts who truly care about their guests. The place is peaceful, well-kept, and has a warm family vibe that makes you feel right at home. Their attention to detail and friendly hospitality made the whole visit unforgettable. Highly recommended — can’t wait to come back!

Joel & Katie are so lovely! They were very helpful and the space is so beautiful. Each campsite has its own space and it’s still very private. Highly recommend staying here. Very good value for money and so close to Melbourne. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Reedy Creek Camping

Great spot and very private. Nice area to explore and do walking trips, dogs loved it. Unfortunatley could stay only 1 night instead of two due to really heavy rain (our set up is not that advanced…) But would book it again.

Will definitely come again. We had a group of 5 dads and 5 kids, and tented on lush grass near an onsite fire pit and little playground. Wayne and Sharelle’s hospitality was lovely, taking the kids to feed the chickens and answering all the questions they had about the highland coos. It’s a beautiful property, very peaceful, away from the tourist areas but close enough to grab a morning coffee and breakfast. Plenty of firewood provided and the flush toilet and hot shower amenities were spotless, inviting and straight out of home. You’re separated from the one other camp site so you have a feeling of having the place to your own. Would highly recommend.

This was my second stay and I really love staying here. So relaxing and serene. Wayne and Sharelle are great hosts and have the campsite set up beautifully. The campfire was ready to be lit on arrival annd plenty of firewood as well as some complementary eggs. I recommend staying here for a lively weekend getaway.

We had the absolute best time. We had the whole place to ourselves on our trip. The property is so gorgeous with every camp site so well thought out with lots of privacy. Sharelle already made up a fire for us ready to light. We loved all of the animals especially feeding them in the morning. It truly felt like we had our own slice of paradise. We felt so at peace and safe. The hot shower at the end of our hike was so divine. Will absolutely be back for another trip. Thank you again! :)

Weekend Trip to Galea Ranch

We had such a lovely weekend at Galea Ranch! Sharelle and Wayne were so welcoming and accomodating, they even got the fire going for us when we arrived the first evening. The campsite was beautiful and very spacious, and the hot outdoor (but enclosed) shower felt like an extra luxury for a camping weekend! Perhaps the happiest camper was our two year old border collie who met his first highland cows. We also loved the location - just a short drive to some great walks or food options. Thanks so much Sharelle and Wayne - can't wait to come back soon!
