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.

Madge and Neil were great hosts! They were extremely welcoming from the start of our trip and met us to show us the campsite. Site 3 was wonderful, with a huge space and nicely situated around some trees. It has a very small incline, but not much of a hinderance for setting up tents/gazebos. The toliet facility is clean, and the kitchen area is great for washing up. Would definitely come back here again!

We had an amazing camping stay - honestly one of the best sites we’ve been to! It’s not too big, which makes it feel more private, peaceful and relaxing. The lake and river just behind the fence are absolutely beautiful and make the whole place feel extra special.
The amenities were clean and fresh, the staff were super friendly and the location is great. Colac town is only a couple of minutes away with all the shops and facilities you need.
We’ll definitely be back and next time we’re bringing more friends too! 😊
