1 night at Alt Road Winery

What a stunning spot! Right on the banks of the dam, with surrounding views of the cellar door and vineyard. Katie was a fantastic host, and came to greet us on arrival. We were even lucky enough for her to open the cellar door for us for a quick wine tasting! The spot itself was in a great location, only 10mins out of town in case you need supplies. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

1 night at Tall Trees Otways Camp

Secluded. Bonza composting toilet. Perfect phone reception. The serenity! 🥰

Weekend Trip to Green Falls Escape

We loved the spaciousness and serenity at Green Falls Escape and enjoyed relaxing under the stars around the fireplace. It was a really beautiful experience, especially waking to the curious faces of the cows! It was private, picturesque and calming.. Carla is very helpful, friendly and responsive. Cleanest portaloo I've ever seen!

3 nights at Aireys Inlet - Home Base 1

We had a great time at Home Base 2 with our caravan. It’s a small bush area at the back of Kendra and Matt’s property so not out of the way feeling, but an amazing location near the beach and centre of Airey’s Inlet. Proper toilet and enclosed outdoor hot water shower were both fantastic - we really appreciated the shower after coming back from the sea cold and sandy! Matt had left out keg fire pits and wood for a camp fire in the evening. We would definitely come back here if we wanted another long weekend at the beach.

1 night at Wurdale Waters

Loved our recent stay here, well positioned to explore the Great Ocean Road without being caught up in the tourist hot spots, enjoyed a lovely rustic farm stay. The views was incredible, the cows adorable and the visiting farm dog full of energy and cuddles. The camp area isn’t the tidiest but after the initial view you don’t really notice. Will stay there again!

3 nights at Faraway Lodge

Great spot and facilities. Dogs had a ball and Bruce and family were responsive and helpful

3 nights at Erskine Falls Retreat

Magical site, grassy with majestic trees, especially campsite 1

1 night at Clear Springs

Great spot unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side but it’s a lovely location very quiet & peaceful

4 nights at Olive Farm

Loved the peaceful location. Troy is a great host, very available and super helpful. Porter loos provided with lots of loo paper. Great for doggos, just be aware of the wildlife. Good proximity to towns to restock or for a coffee. Limited mobile reception not a problem for us but be aware.

2 nights at Erskine Falls Retreat

Mathews place was pretty amazing. The huge trees, little shed with firepits and private camp sites. Thanks for the peacefully stay!

1 night at Faraway Lodge

Great location. We brought some rain with us so didn't have the best weather but still managed to get a fire started with a little help from Austin. The property was just as described, the hut being a welcome haven from the rain. Would love to return.

1 night at Olive Farm

Lovely spot with very friendly and accomodating host. Was nice to be camped up among the olive trees and able to have a small fire.

4 nights at Wattleclair Farmstay

Campsite was good, ample room for other campers even though someone had to camp very close to us. Nice grassy area which was great so no need for ground sheet. Being on a farm is very relaxing and the host was friendly and welcoming. Directions prior to arrival were very clear and concise. Thank You

1 night at Olive Farm

We had a wonderful night at Troy's campsite. Troy made us feel very welcome, accommodating our arrival time, and the setting was refreshing and a change of scenery. Everything was perfect!

Weekend Trip to Olive Farm

Great spot for the Easter Break! Plenty of room to spread out and not be close to others camping. Heaps of flat area with multiple toilets around different locations which were stocked up daily while we were there. Troy is a great host, very friendly and approachable. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Olive Farm

WOW what an amazing place to stay! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Troy - you are the host with the most!!! Your communication prior to arrival is to be commended, thank you for answering all my questions (although not as many as some of my friends!!!) and for being prompt in your reply and very informative. The photos online show the property perfectly, apart from the most stunning starry sky at night! It was magical! The farm was peaceful, calm, spacious, beautiful, with native wildlife, kangaroos, kookaburras and rosellas. Plenty of areas to walk around and enjoy the serenity. The port-a-loo near where we chose to set up camp was the cleanest and freshest port-a-loo I have ever seen - thank you for that! We had as much space as we could have ever wanted to spread out and truly had the pick of the bunch for where we could have set up as a group with 2 caravans and a tent. The slide you set up for the kids to use was a hit and having the dam there to use on your canoes and kayaks was so generous of you, thank you. But overall, it was your friendliness, Jumbles your gorgeous dog and how thoughtful you were, generous with your time, maintaining the port-a-loo, being up for a chat, filling us in on your Farm, your plans, your produce etc, that was our highlight. And spending time together as a family with our friends of course! But you were great Troy and we can't thank you enough for your hospitality and welcoming us so warmly onto your property. Thank you. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Olive Farm

Had lots of fun camping on Troy’s property with two other families and all of our kids. Plenty of space between us and other campers, a great dam with lots of activities for the kids, decent portaloos, and Troy is really easy to deal with. The olive camper pack thing is great too!

Hopkins Paradise is located on a 6 acre block on the edge of the Hopkins river at Framingham Victoria, approximately 20 minutes from Warrnambool & 20 minutes from Terang. It is a large Dairy Farm in area in the Western District. This property was the old Framingham Primary School that closed around 1994. The building needs a lot of love and is currently not available for guests to access. The grounds around the old School has well established red gum trees and and an a pine tree plantation. The trees in the plantation were planted by the school kids many years ago. We have plenty of space for Camping and a functioning toilet that was decorated by the school kids when the school was still running. We are still getting things up dated and have limited running water. The area between the school house and the sheds provided some shelter for our guest if it ever decides to rain again. The drop down to the river is very steep and extremely dangerous and we recommend you don't attempt to get to the river from Hopkins Paradise. If you head up the road to the bridge you can view the river from there. With in a short drive you can go to the Hopkins Falls and view the river and the fall from the viewing platforms when we have had rain the falls can be quiet amazing to see.

Clear Springs

1 site · RV, Tent20 acres · Lorne, VIC

Clear Springs is a very special spot, offering sweeping views over rolling hills, and across to the ocean. King Island lighthouse is visible on clear nights, and there are koalas and wallabies in abundance. Whilst we require you to BYO toilet, we do have hot shower, woodfired hot-tub, power, water and phone reception. The site is all-weather access, and is just a 7-minutes drive to the Apollo Bay township. Once you catch your breath after initially taking in the sweeping, majestic ocean views, you can find a spot to pitch your tent or park your van. You drive in through a locked farm gate into the fenced camp area. There is not an abundance of flat area, so may not suit if you need large level space. We don't accept multiple bookings, so the space is all yours. You can choose from a few different spots with near-level ground (choose grass or gravel). The site is open to the amazing ocean views to the south yet the area is nestled among mature trees to give privacy and shelter. There are very few houses dotted around the area and not a single busy road within earshot. There is 240v mains power (BYO lead and plug into switchboard). And a tank with spring water (natural and untreated, we've been drinking it for years) and a pressure pump (BYO hoses as needed). There is an outdoor gas-heated shower. We also have a woodfired hot tub available for guests, BYO firewood. Our listing is intended for people looking for a private, tranquil and well-serviced camping area with several bonuses such as firewood, power, water, telstra reception, and a hot tub. And no other guests to worry about. It's much more than a patch of grass! But please BYO toilet - this is mandatory - and leave no trace to allow other people to enjoy the beauty of our property. Sorry pets are not allowed.

125 acre property on the fringe of the beautiful seaside town of Lorne. The bustling tourist town is home to some of Australia's finest wildlife including koala's, kangaroos, kookaburra's and wallabies... all of which are witnessed roaming around the property with undisturbed nonchalance. In addition to this wildlife, the natural landscape and scenery is one to behold, with lush green grass, waterfalls scattered around the area (including Erskine Falls just a 2 minute drive from the property) and the chance to cool off in the ocean with a short 10 minute drive into the township of Lorne. Your passage to Lorne is an extraordinary one to say the least, spoilt for choice with two incredible routes, the first is the unique and famous Great Ocean Road... exhibit beautiful waves, clear blue water and a road fit for a race-car track. The second route to Lorne is via small regional towns inland with endless rolling hills and healthy green landscapes as far as the eye can see and that's all before you hit Otway national park! This secluded property is special because it is situated in a remarkable position with the perks of both country and coastal living, not to mention unrivalled serenity... being 550m above sea level, snow isn't uncommon on the odd day during winter and surf is only 10 minutes away, so truly extraordinary. There are huge Trees approximately 200ft tall that tower over you in an area of the property we refer to as "valley of the kings" and some in excess of 300 years old. Witness small isolated gulleys (if the weather permits) and you're prepared for a little small hike into our wonderland. My family and I are situated in a modest farmhouse on the north side of the property, with our little camping spots for you scattered around the scenic high points. Water is provided on site, leave the area as you found it. Otherwise get your adventure started.
