Leave the noise of the city behind and travel to Noojee, a town named after the Aboriginal word for contentment or place to rest.
Surrounded by lush native bush and towering tree ferns, this picturesque town on the Latrobe River sits on the main access route to the ski fields of Mt Baw Baw and is home to a wide range of heritage and natural attractions.
The property consists of 5 acres with a river, so you can set up a tent right next to the river and fish for dinner. The house is about 100 meters away from the camping area, but there are about 1000 Oregon trees that are 50 years old, so you can't see each other well, so you can enjoy nature freely.
4WD is recommended for easy access. We recommend tents/swags.
4WD with Heavy trailer is still very hard to enter when it is wet.
Guests will have access to a toilet throughout their stay. There is a communal fire pit available, so guests can enjoy a campfire on the cool evenings. Please abide by any local fire restrictions during your stay.
You can walk from my house to Noojee Heritage Centre, Trestle Bridge, Alpine Trout Farm, and Noojee Hotel for a delicious pizza, Cool beer from tool sheed and coffee from red duck cafe. You can drive to Toorongo Falls, Ada Tree in 10 minutes and Baw Baw Ski Resort in 40 minutes.

Pitch your tent or camper near our picturesque dam with 3 jetties, a boat shed and walking track along dam. Throw in a yabbie net and get the kids to catch some yabbies, they are great cooked up with chilli & garlic. Our property joins onto the Neerim East State Park for those walking enthusiasts or we can accommodate your horse in our yards should you want to explore the bush with many tracks directly from the property. We offer drinking water & toilet accessed from house. Neerim South is home to many wildlife and expect to see many bird species, kangaroos, deer and the odd wombat trailing through.
Chris & I are campers ourselves, so we know how nice it is to have a quiet and private spot all to ourselves, however before long you have people on top of you at caravan parks or at free camping you may experience the doof doof music until god knows what hour. So we offer exclusive private campsite all to your self, we only book one group at a time.

Such a great private camping spot on Sue and Chris’s property. We were a group of 9 adults, 2 kids and a dog, and it was perfect. Sue was a great host and made the extra effect to ensure we were comfortable and the kids were happy (even letting them sit on Amy the horse). Great communication too. Highly recommend.

Seong was a wonderful host who brought out freshly cooked South Korean food, it was delicious! The camp site was great, nestled on the outside of Noojee, within an easy walk to pubs. Each campsite is river side, very ideallic! 3 out of 4 sites had campers but still felt private, and Seong's dogs, plus ours and other guests all played well - a great place to explore and paddle for the dogs. Dogs will need to be supervised in the river due to the currents around the beautiful fallen trees. I would definitely recommend!

Such a beautiful spot right on the river. No reception, very relaxing and unplugged, yet the pub was just a short walk away. Dog friendly, with some doggy playmates who come down to play. Seong was a lovely host. We will be back.

We love staying at Whispering Gums. It's always lovely and peaceful. Just sitting by the beautiful lake is very calming.
The two cows and the horse came for a sticky beak when we were having a fire. It was very cute.
Sue is a fantastic host and communication is great.
We highly recommend staying at Whispering Gums.

We loved this spot! Camping right next to the river, surrounded by beautiful forest and birds was so peaceful. The toilet is a walk or drive uphill and easy to access. The host was lovely and has a few dogs who were very friendly. Be aware on hot days- we spotted a snake having a swim in the river.

Anne-Maree was a wonderful host and made our stay feel easy and relaxed from the moment we arrived. She was generous with her time, quick to help with any questions or small issues, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. Everything was thoughtfully set up and well looked after. We’re very grateful for her hospitality and would happily stay again.

Everything is as described, flat site with shade if required. Waterhole is amazing, it was hot so well needed. Lucy was a delight and very welcoming, appreciated the updates on smokeshaze from distant fires.
Wouldn't recommend towing out of the sites without a 4x4,.
Overall very pleased with our stay and would certainly recommend.

A little patch of paradise! It was so peaceful by the river, and Kim was a really lovely host. The food she shared with us was delicious too! The kids had fun trying to catch the river crayfish and Kim’s dogs, goat and even the cat made us all smile. As it was hot we drove to nearby Tooronga Falls and swam in the water - that was a highlight!
Will definitely be going back again!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It felt super private and tranquil, like we had our own little pocket of nature. There are only four sites and they’re really spaced out, so everyone gets their own space. I’m such a sucker for tall trees and being near a body of water, and this place honestly felt like being hugged by the trees — very calm and grounding.
We loved it so much that even my companion said we’d definitely come back, and I feel the same.
The only downside for me was that the toilets were quite far from the campsites, which made them hard to use, and I think having one closer would really help. A simple shower and sink would also be amazing, especially for the price point.
That said, we’d 100% return. Such a beautiful spot. 5/5 despite the small things.
