Hi there and welcome to my home, Penzance! I fell in love with this slice of heaven in 2010 and adore every back breaking inch of it. It was an overgrown mess at the time, covered in broken bricks and beer cans. I've tried to keep the bush aspect whilst creating a park-like surround with plenty of grassy space. I have big plans for this land and hope to build a steam museum in another area over the creek. Excitingly, I will also be establishing a blacksmiths forge in that area, which was moved piece by piece from an historic farm at Avoca. Chris is an engineer, antique restorer and artisan working from home.
I offer one site so privacy is assured. Larger groups can be accommodated, please enquire if you'd like to learn more.
I look forward to welcoming you to PENZANCE.
*Please be aware that we require a two night minimum stay, but please contact me about single night stays, especially on week-days.

The property is an animal rescue sanctuary. Guest can feed and pat the friendly animals. Enjoy the snort from our free range pig Petunia or the lick of a rough cow tongue from Paint the Jersey. Maybe Kobee the Water Buffalo will catch your attention. If this is a bit much then you can simply pat the sheep, horses, cats, dogs or Jupiter and Maverick the goats. Or maybe laze around the camp fire while the kids jump on the trampoline.

**Summer Season 2024/25**
Due to an over demand we require weekend stays during the Summer months November to March to be a minimum two night stay. Guests are required to check in on Fridays, with Friday and Saturday nights as the two night minimum.
Weekends during this period need to be booked by contacting hosts who will open the sites on the calendar on request to allow the booking to be done online. Those guests requiring a longer stay that overlap a weekend can also be accommodated. Just give us a call and we will find a spot for you.
If you are checking dates and a weekend is open, then luck is with you and I have opened the calendar as I'm working on site. If this is the case, single night stays can be booked.

Looking for a peaceful and secluded spot to park up whilst exploring the Yarra Valley winery region, the Dandenong Ranges, or some of Melbourne's close regional towns like Healesville, Yarra Glen and Warburton?
We have opened up a beautiful flat expanse at the rear of our five acre property and made it available to self contained campers and caravaners. We are travelers ourselves and often find it difficult to find peaceful yet secure spots that allow us to explore capital cities and the lovely areas around them.
Most cities tend to have caravan parks in the outer suburbs and these can often resemble concrete jungles and be very busy leaving you feel like you have to pay a top premium to be cramped into a space. But what options do you have if you want to explore a vibrant city like Melbourne. See a show, do some shopping, eat out at some of the World's greatest restaurants. Yes, we all should splurge every now and then even when on the road.
Our property lies at the very start of the Yarra Valley. It is surrounded on three sides by the magnificent Helens Hill vineyard. In the Summer months you can watch the fruit come onto the vines and in the Winter the views open up to see the kangaroos bouncing though the rows and often silhouetted against the skyline sunsets.
We are less than 5 minutes to Lilydale town center. Supermarkets, restaurants, service centers, parts stores, hardware are all on the doorstep, yet looking out over the vines you wouldn't know.
Lilydale is 38 kms from Melbourne CBD and there is a train station with ample day parking making it super easy to explore the heart of Melbourne and return 'home' to your country retreat for the night. Myki cards available on site FOC.
There is a dump point only 3kms away at a local caravan park for those that need it and at our property water can be available to fill your tanks if needed for a small donation. There is no water or power connection on the sites but you can release your grey water to nourish the grass. Lilydale has a large laundromat available to you.
We have a beautiful covered eating area with BBQ available so if the weather turns inclement you can still eat out yet under cover.
All campers must be 100% self contained. These are remote sites with no connections and there are no toilet facilities available.
We have restricted our area to a maximum of 6 sites to ensure that everyone has their space. Sites are not marked and locations will be on a first booked basis. Owners will direct you to your areas. The area is beautifully flat and does absorb water well but care must be taken to not tear it up after heavy rains. Please seek assistance from owners rather than tearing up the grass as a tractor is available.
We can cater for large sized vans and even large motorhomes. Tents are welcome. The property is pet friendly but not fully fenced so your furry friends would need to be on lead. We have our own dogs on the property.
Hipcamp being USA based describes the sites and vehicles in USA terms and lengths. There is no way to alter this but please be aware. We cater for Aussie sized caravans and 4wd vehicles. 14 or 15m long all up, no problem. Just in a 4x4 with roof top tent and awning, we have you covered. Cruising the country in a Commodore with a pop top, all good here.
Please be aware that we do share a boundary with a working vineyard and they do occasionally have a tractor or crew out in the vines doing some work. There can be a bit of farm machinery work every now and then but this is beyond our control and generally very minimal as vines dont take much looking after unless its harvest night.

Second time at this lovely site. Enjoy the sunrise or a campfire with the generous amount of wood. Close to the Bellarine rail trail where we enjoyed a cycle to Queenscliff. We also enjoy golf and there are multiple options. We will be back.

What a lovely place! We were very lucky to book in at last minute and were warmly welcomed by Robert. The site is just off the road, and is well names. Only 5 or so pitches and we had lovely views across the surrounding vineyards and the property dam - with resident ducks and cows. Perfect location - even pitches, nice and green. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend for a stop over or to base yourself if exploring winery country in Victoria

A great spot from which to explore the Yarra. Valley. The site is peaceful and very pretty with a small lake by the site. It is about a 20 minute walk to nearest shopping/restaurant area. Great communication from Robert, he was out when we arrived but he gave us really detailed instructions of how to get to his place and where to park etc. Although we didn’t meet Robert, we were away really early for a balloon flight, he was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

This was such a lovely spot nestled next to the vineyards. So calm and quiet, even with the other pitches we were nicely tucked away on site 5 and barely heard the others. Rob is a lovey guy, very friendly and made us feel welcome!

Fantastic little camp near Coldstream. Robert was very accommodating, especially when we needed to extend our stay due to our next camp being closed from bushfires. Amazing views over the vineyard, nice green grass to camp on. Highly recommend to explore the Yarra Valley.

We loved our stay here at Robert’s property overlooking a vineyard and distant views and we are planning on returning soon to explore more of this beautiful area.
Robert is a friendly and informative host with a wealth of local knowledge which we plan on tapping in to further.
Lovely level grassed area which our pooch also loved.
Highly recommended
