(unpatrolled surf beach).
Romantic sunsets with no one but the odd seal and sounds of the waves to disturb you.
Beach fire at night is something special to do.

We border the Mitchell river with the farm so there are about 1 km of secluded banks to sit or swim from if you want to just stay put.
For those wanting pure relaxation, meditation, and soul grounding. We can personally show you some tremendous places on the farm to go within. Pure solace is something that many take for granted. Use our pyramid to draw in Quantum/etheric energy, go to the top of our crystal hill and feel the energies. There is so much to be thankful for when you can release in these spaces. Alternatively sit amongst the cows and feel their energy surround you as their curious nature brings them in closer and closer until they relax around you.
Alternatively if you want to chill with a beer on the river bank and try for some bass, or watch the eastern water dragons play in the sun and water, then that’s a great way to unwind, or soak up the sun rays as it drops below the horizon on the crystal hill or rolling flood plains. A personal favourite of a campfire and a few drinks with the stars is a great way to unwind when you have so much space and privacy. The sites are located next to our rental lodge where we sometimes do retreats, or holiday let it as well. The privacy is wonderful if that's what you are looking for.
A walk each morning from one end of the farm where you will stay to the other and back is a leisurely 2kms so maybe that is your morning start, but walk the lanes and check the fences and cows while you're at it please 🙂, ticks a job for us while your relaxing.
Want to learn about the history of the area? Well a session with us will teach you everything didn't know about the Dargo High Plains, the mountain cattlemen of the high country and much more. Take advantage of your time to enjoy the history of the area and the wonderful past times enjoyed.
What is available off farm?
Number one, the pub with great counter meals is across the river, 5kms away. Lindenow Farmers Hotel is iconic in its design and history, the reputed Lindenow Long Paddock Cafe is also a few hundred metres from the pub, and the Post Office and Store have all your essentials. Need a few more things? Bairnsdale is 24kms away from the farm and offers all you need. Lakes Entrance is about 40 mins for a day out on the beach. Paynesville around 30 mins.
If you want to venture up into the mountains then why not go through Dargo just 45 mins and up onto Mt Hotham (Summer only) via the Dargo High Plains. It’s a great track and on occasions I take people up for a guided tour and secret camp spots on my yearly run up there for my own relax time.
East Gippsland in general is a wonderful region to stop and relax during all seasons but especially summer with the water activities available, the camping in the high country, and the markets that abound the area.
How do I get to be on this great farm?
Well I am glad you asked! Just contact us through this website!
Looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you onto our family farm of 124 years.

We border the Mitchell river with the farm so there are about 1 km of secluded banks to sit or swim from if you want to just stay put.
For those wanting pure relaxation, meditation, and soul grounding. We can personally show you some tremendous places on the farm to go within. Pure solace is something that many take for granted. Use our pyramid to draw in Quantum/etheric energy, go to the top of our crystal hill and feel the energies. There is so much to be thankful for when you can release in these spaces. Alternatively sit amongst the cows and feel their energy surround you as their curious nature brings them in closer and closer until they relax around you.
Alternatively if you want to chill with a beer on the river bank and try for some bass, or watch the eastern water dragons play in the sun and water, then that’s a great way to unwind, or soak up the sun rays as it drops below the horizon on the crystal hill or rolling flood plains. A personal favourite of a campfire and a few drinks with the stars is a great way to unwind when you have so much space and privacy. The sites are located next to our rental lodge where we sometimes do retreats, or holiday let it as well. The privacy is wonderful if that's what you are looking for.
A walk each morning from one end of the farm where you will stay to the other and back is a leisurely 2kms so maybe that is your morning start, but walk the lanes and check the fences and cows while you're at it please 🙂, ticks a job for us while your relaxing.
Want to learn about the history of the area? Well a session with us will teach you everything didn't know about the Dargo High Plains, the mountain cattlemen of the high country and much more. Take advantage of your time to enjoy the history of the area and the wonderful past times enjoyed.
What is available off farm?
Number one, the pub with great counter meals is across the river, 5kms away. Lindenow Farmers Hotel is iconic in its design and history, the reputed Lindenow Long Paddock Cafe is also a few hundred metres from the pub, and the Post Office and Store have all your essentials. Need a few more things? Bairnsdale is 24kms away from the farm and offers all you need. Lakes Entrance is about 40 mins for a day out on the beach. Paynesville around 30 mins.
If you want to venture up into the mountains then why not go through Dargo just 45 mins and up onto Mt Hotham (Summer only) via the Dargo High Plains. It’s a great track and on occasions I take people up for a guided tour and secret camp spots on my yearly run up there for my own relax time.
East Gippsland in general is a wonderful region to stop and relax during all seasons but especially summer with the water activities available, the camping in the high country, and the markets that abound the area.
How do I get to be on this great farm?
Well I am glad you asked! Just contact us through this website!
Looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you onto our family farm of 124 years.

Campfires can be lit but fire danger ratings and restrictions must be strictly adhered to. You are welcome to use any available wood that we generally stack throughout the year.
Pets are allowed but are required to be on a leash and under control.

Great spot with only 3 sites on the property. With a lake right behind us, the kids enjoyed kayaking and riding bikes along the tracks. Mike was super helpful and even provided a basketball for the kids to go and shoot some hoops at the court close by. We will be back for another stay, this time with some prawns as bait to hopefully catch some fish for dinner.

We would definitely recommend this beautiful place. Close to Lakes Entrance.Rhona was a great host.Showed us around, super friendly and helpful.The sites offered picturesque views. Although we didn’t take advantage of the canoes would definitely do it should we go back.The mosquitoes are very friendly though so be prepared.

Well, what can we say ?... Short Story - Go there, Stay there.
Long Story -
From the moment we arrived, having followed the excellent directions, our hosts Cath and Alan made us feel very welcome and were effusive in valuable advice re 'what to do and what to see' in the local area.
We settled in with the neighbouring properties cows as great company over the fence. Our main focus was on cycling on sections of the East Gippsland Rail Trail which were in easy reach of Snowy Serenity. We also took in the history and sights of Orbost and also forays to Cape Conran and environs.
Back to our hosts, Cathy and Alan... You couldn't ask for better.
Snowy Serenity - Go there !!.

A lovely getaway for our family of 6. We took our camper trailer and were warmly welcomed by the host. Location perfect. Site was well maintain and included drinkable water and fire pit. There is an undercover selection of extras (kayaks, bikes, helmets, tennis rackets, hula hoops, grape fruit) that added much fun to the weekend. Kids loved riding up and around the corner to the BMX track or the tennis courts & playground. 12 min ride or 4 min drive to the Nowa Nowa Mountain Bike Track. Get place to camp in Nowa Nowa.

Great access and a lovely outlook
It was very close to the local pub and lots of wildlife on display.
It was on fire restriction area but when fires are allowed it had a few excellent pits overlooking the valley.

Beautiful little place. Nice and quiet and so many friendly animals. Owner was lovely, came to check on the cattle and gave us some feed to give the horses in the morning. Walk up through the hill across the road and gorgeous beach down the sand dunes.

We loved our stay on this lovely little property, even ended up extending for another 2 nights. It's not a huge area, there are 3 sites available on the property, all visible from each other, but definitely enough space between to have your own area and privacy. Close enough to town, but feels like you are a million miles away and don't need to deal with the packed caravan parks in town! There is a back road in front of the property which does get cars along it, but this didn't bother us at all. Owners were lovely and friendly. The flies were very friendly too, and they hurt when they bite!!

This lovely retreat centre exceeded all of our expectations. The host George was friendly and accommodating, the kitchen and dining areas were incredibly well stocked and spacious, not to mention beautifully designed. And to top it all off there was an abundance of wildlife within the camp that made our stay so memorable. Thank you so much George!

The best camping near Lakes Entrance with campfires guide
When to go
Summer months bring excellent fishing, but it also brings bushfires. Summer holidays (end of December and January) are busy so be sure to reserve ahead.
Know before you go
- It’s best to have your own transport to explore this region. Although East Gippsland appears as a small area on the Victorian map, be aware that distances are still large.
- Bairnsdale, the region’s main hub, is a good place to stock up on supplies for camping.
- Wildlife is prolific: bring binoculars, insect repellant and covered shoes, even if you’re sticking to the coast.
- Heed all bushfire warnings; only one main arterial road serves this area and it’s surrounded by bush.
