Hidden Valley House is nestled in Anakie, VIC, set within the scenic Brisbane National Ranges and only a 1-hour drive from Melbourne CBD.
Taking into consideration our ethos around sustainability, the cabin is “off-grid” so solar powered with a composting toilet but with all the amenities you need. The cabin has spectacular views overlooking the valley with an abundance of wildlife and has a small creek and several caves which have formed over millions of years.
As well as the cabin, we offer a camping area to larger groups that need overflow accommodation if the cabin is not big enough. This makes Hidden Valley House a fantastic option for large groups wanting to have all the comfort and amenities of the cabin, but experience the back-to-basic joy of camping in nature.
Set on an 18-acre property at the start of the Brisbane National Ranges, it is home to koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, sugar gliders and an abundance of birds including eagles and kookaburras. Furthermore, the land is protected by Trust for Nature and Land for Wildlife offering long-term protection for many ecosystems, species and native wildlife.
The property is surrounded by national parks and is only a short drive from charming, historical towns such as Meredith and Steiglitz and only 25mins to Geelong. A number of family-owned wineries are located nearby and within Victoria’s Moorabool Valley winery.

Location and value for money and only 2 other solo female campers so felt safe. Ranger helpful and escorted me to my spot. Brand new toilets and showers with lights on all night. Unfortunately total fire ban in place so couldn’t cook and there was a big fire pit (shared) used boiling water from the Scout kitchen. Only con was a bit of road noise from Hearn Road.

Clean basic campsites with option of open area or wooded site ( pine trees great, stay away from gum trees esp on windy days, saw a few large branches drop). Friendly, laid back, hands off staff.
Honeyeaters, magpies, parrots, grey butcherbirds and owls around camp.
Rustic but fun mini golf, bikes, included in booking fee. Good value for money. Close to beach and shops (short drive). Accessible by public transport ( Frankston Bus).

Madge and Neil were great hosts! They were extremely welcoming from the start of our trip and met us to show us the campsite. Site 3 was wonderful, with a huge space and nicely situated around some trees. It has a very small incline, but not much of a hinderance for setting up tents/gazebos. The toliet facility is clean, and the kitchen area is great for washing up. Would definitely come back here again!
