There is limited solar power (enough for phones and laptops) and low flow water (enough to brush your teeth). Neither is guaranteed to be available. A wood stove heats the hut, boils the kettle and cooks your dinner; firewood is included. An open outdoor bathroom includes a sink, bath and drop toilet. Hot water is available but not promised. The hut is fenced and well-behaved dogs are welcome. This property is suited to resourceful guests who are familiar with lighting fires, swinging an axe and understanding rural courtesies. The abundance of wildlife is used to peace so if you are taking a dog with you then please keep it within eyesight and always under your control. Please also consider that the mobs of kangaroos that roam the property include some large bucks (boomers) that can be confrontational if surprised so please proceed with caution if approaching grazing animals.

Merriwoola (Merri Wominjeka : Stones Welcome) is a property of outstanding natural beauty and offers guests a sanctuary from the world surrounded by parkland bush, mysterious boulders resting amongst the trees and numerous native animals including wombats, echidnas, kanagroos, wallabies, possums, koala and the most extraordinary birdlife. The property is defined by an ancient water course that cuts a 1km ravine through the property. During the winter the dry boulder-strewn gorge is transformed with waterfalls and cascades along its length and regardless of the season transports you to another time and place. There is limited solar power (enough for phones and laptops) and low flow water (enough to brush your teeth). Neither is guaranteed to be available. A wood stove heats the hut, boils the kettle and cooks your dinner; firewood is included. An open outdoor bathroom includes a sink, bath and drop toilet. Hot water is available but not promised. The hut is fenced and well-behaved dogs are welcome. This property is suited to resourceful guests who are familiar with lighting fires, swinging an axe and understanding rural courtesies. The abundance of wildlife is used to peace so if you are taking a dog with you then please keep it within eyesight and always under your control. Please also consider that the mobs of kangaroos that roam the property include some large bucks (boomers) that can be confrontational if surprised so please proceed with caution if approaching grazing animals.

Moorabool Ridge Vineyard and Olive Grove is a 70-acre property in the Moorabool Valley, just 15km from Bannockburn, 31km to Geelong CBD, and 56km to Ballarat. With 1.4km of Moorabool River frontage, rolling vineyard views, and abundant wildlife, it’s the perfect escape for nature lovers.

For now, guests can enjoy camping with a tent, swag, or van, surrounded by stunning landscapes. What’s here now: 1) Spacious unpowered campsites (flat, easy access, space for 10+ vans) 2) Shower block with two toilets and a simple, clean river-fed shower, a 300 meter walk from campsites. 3) River activities: swimming spots (including one with a slide), canoes, and wading in the shallows of the weir. 4) Large communal fire pit as well as small fire pits, a BBQ and a large bench that can seat 20 people. Things to know: Children are welcome, but please take care around the river and bring gumboots please if children will go walking through the farm as snakes are present in the warmer months. As we’re in a valley, sound travels—please keep music at a considerate level. Unfortunately we cannot have other pets here as we have 2 very friendly golden retrievers on the property. Nearby, you’ll find some of the region’s best wineries, including Lethbridge Wines, Austins Winery, and Clyde Park—perfect for a meal and a glass of wine. Whether you’re here for a quiet riverside campfire, a swim, or to explore the surrounding vineyards, Moorabool Ridge offers a unique blend of history, nature, and country hospitality.
