A great lifestyle for the whole family. We are literally a living proof, with 3 generations living under one roof. We would love to share this experience with others. Our large, grassy sites are the perfect place to set up camp after a day of exploring and to enjoy the ambiance and the serenity of the starlit sky. You might be lucky enough to spot a shooting star.Seasonal farm fresh produce can be made available. Try some of our delicious Free Range Eggs, Pure Aussie Honey, and our local Dairy produce. If you'd like us to Pre order a BBQ pack from our local butchers, just give us 24 hours notice. Other essentials are available at our store.Due to restrictions in the area, we are unfortunately unable to allow fires at this time.Anything else we haven't covered, just ask your hosts Desmond & Barbara.

Serenity Farm Koriella

11 sites · RVs, Tents140 acres · Koriella, Murrindindi
A grassy, peaceful, expansive wilderness set on 140 acres of pristine, regenerated farmland. Surrounded by undulating hills, open pastures and open woodland, this property is stunning in its natural habitat, both flora and fauna. A true stargazer's treat, this property has uninterrupted 360-degree night sky views with minimal light pollution. The top hills also provide views of the Cathedral ranges and the Victorian Highlands. You will find kangaroos, deer, wombats, echidna and wedge-tail eagles on this beautiful, serene property. Songbirds include Fairy-Martins, Robins and Willy Wag Tails. Lake Eildon is 20 minutes away (Devil's Bend), Goulburn Rail Trail is 5 mins away, Alexandra is 7 minutes away, Yarck for a sensational lunch and coffee at The Giddy Goat Cafe is 10 minutes away, and Mansfield is 40 minutes away. This is a beautiful part of the world - in between Yea and Alexandra and surrounded by rolling hills. Private sites, with limited views of one other farm property, this property is secluded and extraordinarily serene. Hence the name, Serenity Farm. Nothing but you, the hills, the wildlife and the views. The best camping is at the back of the property, which is accessible via 4WD only or by foot. If you're after a workout, walk up the ridge with your gear - the views will be your reward, and you'll be so glad you did! It has the most trees and spectacular views across to Yea, the Cathedral Ranges and the Victorian Highlands. You can park at Adem's Hill and pitch your tent there for private and uninterrupted 360-degree views all around. But beware, it can get windy up there. Book these sites: Adem’s Hill, Meet me at the Woodpile or Redgums (experienced 4WD’ers only). Alternatively, you can drive in and stay on the flat paddocks, i.e. original farmland, and there are cattle on the property from time to time, with evidence of their presence underfoot, aka cow pats. The cattle won't harm you, but they wander around, and if they're at the farm during your stay, they'll keep to themselves. This area also has uninterrupted views of the Cathedral ranges. The lower half of the property has caravan access but little shade from the sun. In winter, or during heavy rain seasons, this area is 4WD access only, and we will advise of that at the top of the listing as necessary. If this sounds like you, book these sites: Poplars or Basecamp. At the top or the back of the property, we have boulders, steep gullies and what we believe is a Scar Tree. It's utterly beautiful. Night-time is like sitting in the Planetarium with amazing views of the entire night sky and the milky way. There's next to no light pollution, and once your eyes have adjusted, you will discover all the star formations you've read about online. A fabulous getaway; we love our farm and know you will too.

Nestled amongst the mountains just outside of the township of Whittlesea our 40-acre property sits above the clouds. This experience comes with sweeping views, a hidden waterfall, a clear campground, and plenty of wildlife. The camping area is accessible by 4WD only, otherwise, strap on a backpack and earn it! (800m walk/hike from where a non-4WD can park). The waterfall is reached by a single trail track from the campsite, and you do need to be an experienced hiker to get to the waterfall. Which is part of the appeal! We welcome self-contained campers, who bring their own toilet and take all waste with them. We have a strict Leave No Trace policy. Or choose to stay in our beautiful A-frame cabin, with plush bedding, cozy fire, and outdoor lounge. More than anything else this is a place to relax and be away from normal, live outside yourself, and rediscover what weekends are for.  Dogs are welcome, so long as they don't bother the wildlife.
