We have since kept the campsite maintained and a place for family and friends to stay and escape their busy lives. Most recently, we have opened it up to Hipcamp in late 2020 where we have loved sharing our property and getting to know fellow campers.

Excellent stay. Great location some 15k’s inland from lovely Inverloch. Great views. Easy access to the property and ideal for any 2WD’s. We have a MH and had access to both power and water if required. We didn’t bother. We were met by the engaging host Adrian who kindly showed me around. What a gem of a place. Manicured lawns in a large fully fenced paddock with a new camp kitchen, hot shower and seperate very clean toilet. 4 sites in total. Lovely dam to the rear of the property and walks back on the roadway overlooking the ocean to the distance. Adrian supplied a great fire pit, kindling and wood at a cost of $25 per night. Overall a wonderful stay - well worth a visit - you won’t be disappointed. Will definitely be back.

It is truly a beautiful rural setting with the convenience of a camp kitchen toilet and shower which have been beautifully designed and built . The area to camp is fenced off but that guest stop the magnificent views. Cows were neighbours plus a koala in the tree near us . Lush grass to camp on. The hosts were great and we had Adrian the farmer deliver us our fire pit and kindling and wood each night . We were able to top up the wood from the stockpile. It’s only about 15 minutes to the beach and we also had lunch at the tarwin lower pub which was only around a 10 minutes drive . Wonderful stay

10 stars to the host and the beautiful grounds offered. Highly recommend to all. Views of the farm were spectacular particularly in the morning where the site is allocated as where you stay you can see the sun rise above the valley. Thanks heaps, the Wednesday Camper!

The sites are a really good size, right beside the river, the river is crawling with freshwater crays that are easily seen and caught from the bank. The park is quite a simple layout and ammenities are good and very clean. The park doesn’t have a camp kitchen and the options for kids entertainment is limited. We did have a good stay and enjoyed ourselves. We also loved the location being less than an hour from home.

We had such a wonderful time at this campsite! Brooke incredibly friendly and helpful, and the site itself was absolutely beautiful. It felt private and secluded, yet was still easy to get to. The ground was clean and well-maintained, and we especially loved the fire pit. We'll definitely be back!
