Magic Mountain

Nestled amongst the mountains just outside of the township of Whittlesea our 40-acre property sits above the clouds.  This experience comes with sweeping views, a hidden waterfall, a clear campground, and plenty of wildlife. 

The camping area is accessible by 4WD only, otherwise, strap on a backpack and earn it! (800m walk/hike from where a non-4WD can park). The waterfall is reached by a single trail track from the campsite, and you do need to be an experienced hiker to get to the waterfall. Which is part of the appeal! 

We welcome self-contained campers, who bring their own toilet and take all waste with them. We have a strict Leave No Trace policy.

Or choose to stay in our beautiful A-frame cabin, with plush bedding, cozy fire, and outdoor lounge.  More than anything else this is a place to relax and be away from normal, live outside yourself, and rediscover what weekends are for. 

Dogs are welcome, so long as they don't bother the wildlife. 

Campfires are allowed, BYO firewood or campers can collect fallen timber from the property.

Springview Farm

37 acre farm nestled between Cardinia Reservoir and Lysterfield Lake Park.

Beautiful isolated property with giant tree ferns, bushland and grassy paddocks. The campsite is next to our spring fed dam and backs onto 10acres of bushland. The dam is great for kayaking, swimming, fishing. There is plenty of room for footy, cricket, volleyball or just relaxing. Our farm is home to our 5 pet cows, 12 sheep, 3 Goats, 6 horses and chooks. Kangaroo, deer, echidna and wombats are seen roaming daily. We grow our own fruit and veggies, make preserves and also have bee hives. We are opening our farm up to share our country lifestyle.

Mt Martha Bushland Hideaway

This property was originally part of a large farmland, divided into 5 acre lots. When we purchased in 1997, there wasn't a single tree on the place.
Over the years, we have revegetated the property with native and indigenous bushland, created a wetland that attracts many native animals including birds, lizards, possums and frogs to name a few.
Enjoy a hidden country escape on our 5 acre property on the Mornington Peninsula. Property features a wetland with jetty, roaming peacocks, chickens and sheep in an open woodland setting. A relaxed country atmosphere conveniently located near beaches, wineries, op shops and restaurants.
Up to 3 sites available (max 1 caravan/camper or 2 tents/dwellings per site)
Ideal for groups or individual campers.
Our property is surrounded on two sides by reserve, the Balcombe Creek and bushland.
BYO gear and set up in the paddock.
We will meet you on arrival and direct you to the campsites.
Access to a flushing toilet and a cold water tap/cold water shower with potable drinking water. 
We prefer no dogs due to peacocks and sheep and our own dogs... but please ask before booking anyway, and we will accommodate on a case-by-case basis.
We are a 5 to 10-minute drive to the beautiful bay beaches of Mornington and Mt Martha and a 20-minute drive to Westernport bay and the surf beaches.
Close to the nearly 60 wineries on the Mornington Peninsula, an abundance of restaurants,  Peninsula Hot Springs and other attractions such as Arthurs Sea Eagle cable car, Enchanted Maze Garden, and many amazing bush walks.

Mornington beaches, just 5 - 10 minutes drive away.

Trickle Hill Cottage

Trickle Hill is a lovely cottage tucked away  at the edge of our bush. You have your own little patio, and can go for adventurous walks straight from your living room ! 
We are close  to Dandenong ranges, Yarra valley, Bunyip state park, and Puffing Billy.  
We are  just behind Avalon castle- so great if you are attending a wedding 
 We welcome couples, solo adventurers and families.  We are of course LGBTI+ friendly! 
Dogs are very welcome.

The cottage is a converted shed, with three bedrooms, a lovely living area and a cosy closed woodfire. We have a sheltered outdoor area, where you can have a barbeque, or have a small fire in a firedish.  The cottage is in the bush, so you can walk out and try to find our resident breeding pair of Lyrebirds, echidnas, wombats, wallabies and kangaroos or the deer that live in our 'back yard'. Or just roam, which shouldn't be too hard on 67 acres . 
We are close to massive areas of bush with open trails. Dogs are very welcome- no cats. 
As we live in the bush, we do our best to keep everything as 'green' as we can- so please don't use harsh chemicals.
Living in the bush brings with it that you cannot light a fire in fire danger periods, and,  heating on a woodstove, means there is a hot stove in the room. (watch those little fingers...)

Our aim is to give you a place of rest and enjoyment. We love to share our space as we love it here so much- and hope you love it too.
As life is a project - don't expect 10* linen and luxury, state of the art gardens and clipped lawns, but a friendly welcoming atmosphere where you can be yourself and relax.

We love to have visitors, and chat for a bit- or leave you  to relax. The cottage is on the edge of the bush, where you are welcome to roam on the tracks or off them- at your own risk :-) 

We are both artists, and our studio's are close to the cottage, which might make some noise, but we'll try to keep it at a minimum when guests are here.
The upside is, you could learn something if interested :-) (contact us for workshops) 

We have a working hobby farm- with some machinery, animals (pigs, dogs, horses, ducks and chickens).
You can interact with the animals if you talk to us about safety first, but the horse paddock is out of bounds. ( they can behave unpredictable, are very large (!) and very valuable)
Our dogs are very friendly and will most probably visit you. Our puppy still has lots to learn :-)

Our property is stock- fenced, our animals will stay in, but dogs are able to roam if they are not staying with you.
There is no secure yard to leave your dog during the day, you are expected to be in control of your dogs at all times. If they are ok with horses, chooks and dogs, and under voice command, they can be off leash. 
Dogs are not to sleep on the beds.

We are a rural property with animals, and there are dams on the property, (not close to the cottage) so please keep an eye on children - we cannot take responsibility for your persons or animals.

Living on a farm means that not everything is neat, safe, flat or person-proof. Often there is actual work being done involving machinery. Coming here is entirely at your own risk. (sorry for all the disclaimers...) 

But- of course- if there is anything we can do to make your visit more pleasurable, we will do our best to do so!

Wildcroft

We were lucky enough to settle here 9 years ago, looking back I think the property found us!After we settled in we invited our parents Harry and Pauline to live in their self-contained unit to share and enjoy our dream home and gardens. Everyone who visits us is amazed at how beautiful the property is, and how when you are here it feels like you are in the middle of the country. Discovering Hipcamp has given us an opportunity to share what we have with you and in return, we get to meet the most amazing people and find out about each and every one of your life stories!

Quiet & green with an abundance of bird life, Trees, flowers, peace all within a 10 min drive from major shopping centres.
