Weekend Trip to Whispering Gums

Great spot Great hosts Perfect experience Highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Whispering Gums

Sues property was absolutely incredible! We will 110% be back to camp there! Everything was well maintained, it felt like camping in the middle of no where with a touch of luxury, but only a stones throw away from the pub. Great fire pit, cabin/hut to use with table and chairs, pots and pans and other bits and bobs. Picnic table and sink was great and used a lot! And the toilet was great! Easy to use and far enough away to not feel too close to camp, but not too far to get too. Fire pit next to the lake was serene, the birds and wildlife came to life after 5pm. Sue was so lovely, brought us some firewood and made sure we had everything we needed and was very communicative. Absolutely loved it!

We had a great stay at this campsite! The area was spacious, perfect for a big group to spread out and relax without feeling crowded. The toilets were very clean, which made the whole experience even more comfortable. It’s a very peaceful and stress-relieving place, surrounded by nature — we felt completely recharged after the trip. Highly recommend for groups of friends or families looking for a relaxing outdoor getaway!

'Bwah-Dale', from the French, meaning wood, or forest, valley] there's a permanent creek [the King Parrot] with swimming holes and paddling areas, and access to flat or gently undulating campsites in what must be one of the prettiest valleys in Australia - if not the world, but I am biased.Access is via a 14ft gate entry and ok for caravans being towed by 4WD.

If food and wine is more your thing then Phillip Island Winery is only 800 paces away! We look forward to sharing this wonderful piece of paradise with you. Kind regards, Gaz and Kaz.
