Welcome to Nanadhong Views.
Nanadhong is the local indigenous name for the Cathedral Range. We are located on the western slope of the Cathedral with beautiful views to its peak as well as across the Acheron valley to the Black Range and South to Dom Dom and the Black Spur. This property was previously a home site but was burned out in the 2009 fires. Now being returned to nature and available for camping only. Two dams and a seasonal creek attract birds and local wildlife. A total of 30 acres is available for exploring and enjoying the views.
This private location has a single site with power and water, suitable for two vans or several camper trailers, a flushing toilet and further grassed areas suitable for tents and camper trailers. A camp shelter currently under construction will provide somewhere out of the weather with lighting, water and power available.
The property is located 30 minutes from Lake mountain where you can ski during winter or hike and mountain bike during summer. Lake Eildon is also 30 minutes away and a great venue for fishing, swimming and boating. The Acheron, Rubicon and Goulburn rivers are close by and suitable for fishing and kayaking. Mountain bike riders can also try the tracks at Buxton or Eildon. There are many hiking/walking options including the historical Rubicon Valley just 20 minutes away. If you are into 4wd’ing or trail bikes there are many tracks in the Black Range across the road or the Big River area.

Leave the noise of the city behind and travel to Noojee, a town named after the Aboriginal word for contentment or place to rest.
Surrounded by lush native bush and towering tree ferns, this picturesque town on the Latrobe River sits on the main access route to the ski fields of Mt Baw Baw and is home to a wide range of heritage and natural attractions.
The property consists of 5 acres with a river, so you can set up a tent right next to the river and fish for dinner. The house is about 100 meters away from the camping area, but there are about 1000 Oregon trees that are 50 years old, so you can't see each other well, so you can enjoy nature freely.
4WD is recommended for easy access. We recommend tents/swags.
4WD with Heavy trailer is still very hard to enter when it is wet.
Guests will have access to a toilet throughout their stay. There is a communal fire pit available, so guests can enjoy a campfire on the cool evenings. Please abide by any local fire restrictions during your stay.
You can walk from my house to Noojee Heritage Centre, Trestle Bridge, Alpine Trout Farm, and Noojee Hotel for a delicious pizza, Cool beer from tool sheed and coffee from red duck cafe. You can drive to Toorongo Falls, Ada Tree in 10 minutes and Baw Baw Ski Resort in 40 minutes.

Seong was a wonderful host who brought out freshly cooked South Korean food, it was delicious! The camp site was great, nestled on the outside of Noojee, within an easy walk to pubs. Each campsite is river side, very ideallic! 3 out of 4 sites had campers but still felt private, and Seong's dogs, plus ours and other guests all played well - a great place to explore and paddle for the dogs. Dogs will need to be supervised in the river due to the currents around the beautiful fallen trees. I would definitely recommend!

Such a beautiful spot right on the river. No reception, very relaxing and unplugged, yet the pub was just a short walk away. Dog friendly, with some doggy playmates who come down to play. Seong was a lovely host. We will be back.

We loved this spot! Camping right next to the river, surrounded by beautiful forest and birds was so peaceful. The toilet is a walk or drive uphill and easy to access. The host was lovely and has a few dogs who were very friendly. Be aware on hot days- we spotted a snake having a swim in the river.

A little patch of paradise! It was so peaceful by the river, and Kim was a really lovely host. The food she shared with us was delicious too! The kids had fun trying to catch the river crayfish and Kim’s dogs, goat and even the cat made us all smile. As it was hot we drove to nearby Tooronga Falls and swam in the water - that was a highlight!
Will definitely be going back again!

Great little spot next to a dam, private and serene. Bit tight of a spot, couldn't do more than a few people. Very scenic area. Happy with our stay tho I feel it's a tad pricey for what it is, the layout was a little awkward and no water/power/toilet which you may usually find in this price range.
Ultimately a very pleasant weekend, and Paul was very helpful and friendly to deal with

We absolutely loved our stay here. It felt super private and tranquil, like we had our own little pocket of nature. There are only four sites and they’re really spaced out, so everyone gets their own space. I’m such a sucker for tall trees and being near a body of water, and this place honestly felt like being hugged by the trees — very calm and grounding.
We loved it so much that even my companion said we’d definitely come back, and I feel the same.
The only downside for me was that the toilets were quite far from the campsites, which made them hard to use, and I think having one closer would really help. A simple shower and sink would also be amazing, especially for the price point.
That said, we’d 100% return. Such a beautiful spot. 5/5 despite the small things.

Had a great stay with my friend, 2 kids & 2 dogs. The host is friendly, kind & accommodating - she squeezed us in for an extra night after we decided we wanted to stay longer!
Her border collie Hankook took a liking to the kids & got along well with my high energy/drive gun dogs, so spent a lot of time hanging out at our camp. My dogs were able to be off-lead full time as the camps are spread out along the river with space/vegetation between, as were other campers dogs if they chose to. There was also a goat on property for vegetation management that would get moved around.
For those reasons, if you have a dog-reactive dog or a dog that is too interested in livestock, this camp site won’t be suitable for you. Also note, there are ticks, so ensure your dogs are on a treatment before you visit & have a tick removal tool on hand!
The river is shallow enough to stand in across all parts (deepest spot was waist height on adult) but the current is strong.
We really enjoyed our visit & will be coming back.

This is a great spot for a weekend away from Melbourne with a pooch. It's easy access, plenty of shade, beautiful large clean dam for swimming. There are a few local cars that go by and I have heard a bit of shooting both times I've camped here. Apart from that, private, quiet and very pretty.

We had such a relaxing stay here. The campsite is peaceful with a beautiful view of the river and surrounding nature. It was also really nice to properly disconnect from our phones for the weekend.
Kim was incredibly welcoming. She even surprised us with fresh Korean pancakes while we were setting up (it was 10/10 so delicious).
We visited on a rainy weekend and our AWD SUV had no issues getting in or out of the campsite.
Kim’s pets were the absolute highlight and truly made the trip memorable. We adored them and would 100% come back.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway with a genuinely kind host.
