Lakeside Escape with Space for Caravans, Campers & Tents
Located on the edge of the lake, our gorgeous lake house can accommodate a caravan or motorhome on a designated parking pad. There’s also plenty of room to pitch a tent or swag on flat, grassy areas. A huge deck provides the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. The lake house includes a small kitchenette and a separate toilet and shower.
Bring a fishing rod to try your luck catching silver perch, or nets for yabbies — there are plenty!
There’s an abundance of birdlife, including cockatoos, rosellas, king parrots, kookaburras, and tawny frogmouths. Kangaroos and echidnas often pay us a visit, too.
A grassed area with a fire pit is situated a few metres from the lake house, and firewood is available for purchase.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead. A grassy dog enclosure is available for guests who wish to explore the area while leaving their pet in a safe space. If you would like to bring your pet, please add the pet fee which is listed as an Extra during the booking process.
A wood-fired pizza oven, located in a separate undercover area, is available for use.
Lovely bushwalks, motorbike, and horse tracks are located close to the property.
World-class surf breaks are within a half-hour drive, with Bells Beach being the most iconic.
Torquay is home to surf shops and eateries — Rip Curl, Billabong, Roxy, and Rojo are all within walking distance of each other. You’ll also find great local breweries such as Four Pines and Bells Beach Brewery.
Torquay and Anglesea both have vibrant arts scenes — the Ashmore Arts hub is located in Torquay, and Anglesea is home to the Arts Shed. The Eagles Nest Gallery in Aireys Inlet also hosts exhibitions by local artists.
Markets are held regularly on the foreshore in Torquay and Anglesea, and there’s a weekly Farmers Market in Torquay.

Endless views of the sky. FeatherLeaf is so named because of all the trees and all the feathered friends - kookaburras, currawongs, Satin Bowerbirds, King Parrots and Crimson Rosellas, just to name a few.
So many to photograph or just watch!
Listen to the cacophony of kookaburras at dawn and sunset. Frogs and munching macropods (wallabies and kangaroos) at night. Bring a telescope and view the amazingly clear night sky (OK, sometimes it's cloudy)!.
Just over 5 acres of former dairy farm just outside Simpson, close to the Otway Gourmet trail, Great Ocean Rd, Otways National Park and more.
The Coradjil Bushland Reserve is across the road. Great regional towns such as Timboon, Port Campbell, Peterborough and more are all nearby.
If you want rural peace and great pastoral views, amazing sunsets and sunrises, and love bird-watching and nature-watching, this is a great place to stay.
There are currently 2 very curious and friendly dairy cows in the paddock where they are living their best life with treats and no demands on them except to allow pats occasionally!
We rescue, rehabilitate and release wildlife and there are released kangaroos pottering around, so dogs are welcome but must be under control.
We are a sanctuary for all. No hunting parties.

We loved our stay at this beautiful farm Hipcamp, with horses grazing peacefully nearby. Waking up to the sounds of the farm and watching the horses wander past our caravan made it such a special experience, especially for the kids. The site was spacious, easy to access and quiet at night. The hosts were warm and welcoming, with great communication. We’d happily return.

We recently stayed at this Hipcamp in our caravan and it was one of those places you almost want to keep secret. The site was easy to access and spacious enough to set up comfortably without feeling cramped, which made arriving and settling in stress free. It struck the perfect balance between privacy and open space, feeling peaceful and tucked away while still welcoming and safe. The hosts were friendly and helpful without being intrusive, with clear communication and thoughtful touches that made the stay even better. We loved relaxing outside looking at the spectacular view. It’s the kind of spot where the kids can explore, the adults can truly unwind, and everyone sleeps well — we’d happily stay again.

This was a truly special camp site. The perfect place to camp with a group of friends. The scenery is beautiful. The reserve, the Greenland the lake in the distance the stars at night accompanied by a log fire pit… it simply doesn’t get more cosy. We found it very easy to decompress here after a strenuous week of work and planning. It was worth all the effort.
On top of this, the land is located in a perfect place. Right between Torquay, Lorne and Airleys. Driving distance from the beach.
I highly recommend this to people who are looking to camp with friends and have some privacy doing so.
Thank you Barney for having us, it was real 🙌

Super happy with this Hipcamp. We booked it to arrive after our ferry and it was perfect. Close to the terminal, peaceful and plenty of privacy and space for the kids to play and be kids.
We met the two kelpies and they were very sweet. If we didn’t have future plans would have loved to extend our stay.
