1 night at Bay Park Adventure Centre

This place was perfect for me, I small swag, gazebo and my ute. Looks like there is HEAPS of space for other setups. Great shower/bathroom facilities. Very quiet at night. I’d be interested in staying in one of the train carriage accomodations one day. I’ll be back for sure.

3 nights at BelleVue Farm

From the moment we arrived we felt so welcomed! We got shown to our site by Terri, she even took time out of her day to show our little daughter the horses, the camp was absolutely massive with no one in sight, we had the most amazing sunrises and sunsets over looking the paddocks, would 100% stay again and was close to so many towns to explore! Thanks for having us all!

Weekend Trip to Bay Park Adventure Centre

Lovely private spot amongst the trees, beautiful site!! The ground was a bit A bit uneven so we used our levelling blocks on our campervan and we were set.

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.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Otways Forest Camp

Single private site within a great location. For those looking for a relaxed site with no interruptions and great surroundings of forest then this is for you. Could not recommend it enough

Weekend Trip to Boulder Brook Valley

Great spot. Nice set up. Private and lovely. A little tricky to navigate your way to the site. Was hard to find a level spot for the caravan but made do. Bring your own firewood. Had a great stay and looking forward to going back.

Weekend Trip to Penzance Bushland Retreat

Campsite was lovely. Very well maintained space and with everything you could need for a large group. Owners were very accommodating. Will definitely be coming back next year.

2 nights at Ingenia Holidays Torquay

We had a great experience during our stay in our campervan.

2 nights at Red Hill Orchard Farm Stay

Great large open area to set up in, and nice and quiet area. Ideal location to explore the area too. Tara and Steve were great hosts

7 nights at Bay Park Adventure Centre

Great place to camp and host are lovely and easy to deal with.

Weekend Trip to Penzance Bushland Retreat

We had an amazing time at Penzance Bushland Retreat. The place is perfect for families and friends who wanted to relax. The toilet was also a surprise bonus, very clean and well-maintained. We also loved the picnic tables and campfire pit. We'll definitely visit again and recommend this place to our friends.

Weekend Trip to Shacks at Kardella Park

Amazing place for our first time staying at a farm. Damien the host greeted us when we arrived and welcomed us and also provided us with a fire pit. The farm is in walking distance to the beach and local shop. This is in a great location and highly recommended. We will definitely be coming back and staying again

Weekend Trip to Red Hill Orchard Farm Stay

Easy and responsive communication with Tara. Handy location. Barely one bar data is a problem if you might want to check weather, maps, download newspaper etc.

6 nights at Shacks at Kardella Park

A lovely quiet location across from the beach. Damian kindly provided a fire pit. Looking forward to my next visit!

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!

1 night at Boulder Brook Valley

We loved our stay - we couldn’t believe how far away it felt yet so close to Melbourne. Truely a secret oasis. Great directions and communication from Michael. The gazebo and amenities were excellent. Loved the hammock too. Went for a swim and watched a beautiful sunset over the hills.

2 nights at Lake Colac Holiday Park

Great spot, beautiful grassed area overlooking Colac lake. Very friendly hosts informing us of new amenities renovations starting next month. Would definitely recommend..

2 nights at Sommerleigh

A lovely place to stay! Jeff and his wife were very nice and welcoming. We would stay again! Thank you

2 nights at Red Hill Orchard Farm Stay

Beautiful flat spot, with plenty of space and very welcoming on arrival. Close to Mornington and surrounding suburbs 😊

1 night at Shacks at Kardella Park

Damien was such a fantastic host — super lovely and incredibly accommodating. He made us feel right at home and even offered us a fire pit, and had a chat with us explaining the farm and the animals he has on it which made our stay even more special (including some of the beautiful visiting bats and black parakeets) The location is absolutely stunning. We woke up with a mild sea breeze while looking over the beautiful farm. It was peaceful, spacious, and just what we needed to unwind. There’s so much room to spread out, and the whole vibe is just pure serenity.

Penzance Bushland Retreat

1 site · RV, Tent15 acres · Durham Lead, VIC

... Hi there and welcome to our home, Penzance! We fell in love with our slice of heaven in 2010 and adore every back breaking inch of it. It was an over grown mess at the time, covered in broken bricks and beer cans. We've tried to keep the bush aspect while creating a park like surround with plenty of grassy space. We have big plans for our land and hope to build a steam museum in our other area over the creek. Excitingly, we will also be establishing a blacksmiths forge in that area, which was moved piece by piece from an historic farm at Avoca. Chris is an engineer, antique restorer and artisan working from home. I am an actor and artist working in metal, clay and paint. I'm inspired by my flower garden and the bush that frames it. We offer one site so privacy is assured. Larger groups can be accommodated, please enquire if you'd like to learn more. We look forward to welcoming you to Penzance.
