Weekend Trip to Luxury on Wheels - Mountain Views

We loved every minute of our stay at the Dreamseeker van! The attention to detail that Michelle and Ron have put into ensuring guests have a comfortable stay is much appreciated. The bed was comfortable, and the heater allowed us to be super cosy on a chilly night. We picked a few lemons (my partner put his in his Coronas!) and said hello to the friendly cows next door. We would absolutely return to this piece of paradise, which can be enjoyed any season of the year! Thank you again!

Weekend Trip to Tonimbuk Farm

Upon arrival, we were met by Robert on a tractor who came to greet us with 3 friendly dogs in tow. There is a Welcome Sign with your names on it, therefore, directions are easy to see where you should be. There was even a campfire pit stocked up ready to go, along with a Starter Kit supplied. These things were a really lovely touch we thought. This spot is absolutely picturesque by the Dam and the pictures most definitely don't do it justice. It's a superb view to wake up to in the morning, sit by the sun in the day or by the campfire at night. After a chilly evening, we woke to a variety of birds singing in the morning, to the ducks frolicking in the water, even a platypus surfaced for a visit in front of the firepit to look at us. The whole experience was absolutely peaceful and relaxing. The Hosts are super friendly and go above and beyond what you'd normally see with Hosts, so that felt really special to us. We really look forward to returning with our two teens to go fishing in the Dam or to stay at the Creek Site to see how that one is. Thankyou Robert and Leanne. Bless!

Thank you Jana for being very helpful. The site is very quiet and peaceful, exactly what we need. The fire pit was provided and the night was warm and cozy because of the firewoods from Jana. Would definitely revisit again!

Weekend Trip to Nerrigundah contrée sauvage

Loved our stay at this hip camp site - the Platypus site was small and private with the best views of the water and the jetty. Jana was a great host, checked in on us to make sure we're settled in and if we needed anything. We felt very welcome. We didn't brave the kayaks as the weather is a bit cold, but looked like a lovely option for warmer weather. Campsite is a bit slopy but we found good options to pitch our 4 person tent. We loved our stay, we hope to be back in the summer to make full use of the lovely creek and the kayaks.
