Weekend Trip to Foxes Den

Such a nice quiet spot. Hugh met us on arrival and showed us around, also provided plenty of free fire wood. We'll be back.

Weekend Trip to Summerhill Vineyard

Pinot Pocket is a lovely place for a weekend getaway. Tonia is very accommodating and quick with communication and questions. The metal firepit was a great inclusion, meaning we didn't have to dig into soil, etc. Picturesque and quiet, we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere - which was a good thing! Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Summerhill Vineyard

What a great spot to camp! Fantastic picturesque views and we had complete isolation in amongst the rows of vines. We were warmly greeted as we arrived and even had our fire started. Highly recommend and we will look to revisit this location soon.

Weekend Trip to Summerhill Vineyard

This campsite is absolutely amazing, with stunning views that make it well worth recommending! They also offer a campfire option, and even though we didn’t end up having one, the host still provided us with some firewood for free, which was really nice. Definitely a great place to stay!

1 night at Lyntors@520

My partner and I had a great time. It is like a heaven. It was really easy to find the location and the host is very friendly. I’ll definitely go again and highly recommend it.

Weekend Trip to Foxes Den

Great property, so much space to roam, lots of privacy from other sites.

Weekend Trip to Foxes Den

Such a peaceful camp spot — exactly what we needed for a relaxing break. Plenty of firewood provided, which made for some great nights around the fire. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making everything easy. Highly recommend if you're after a quiet spot and a good fire

1 night at The Sheltered Glamping Co.

What an incredible dog-friendly glamping gem! Just a short walk to the beach and winery, yet it still felt wonderfully secluded and peaceful. We loved the thoughtful touches—like the coral reef-inspired light shades and rustic timber tables. Having access to showers and toilets was a huge bonus, especially on chilly winter nights. Our pup absolutely loved it too—such a perfect swap from our usual sluggish Sundays for something special. The abundance of wildlife was a highlight; wallabies wandered nearby, unbothered, and the variety of big birds kept our dog entertained from a safe distance. The well-stocked kitchen and utensils made it super easy to enjoy a spontaneous getaway without packing the whole car. And the hot tub under the stars? Just magic. We adored this place and can’t wait to return in summer with friends, family, and all the doggos!
