Weekend Trip to Berry's Beach Farm, Phillip Island

Get spot, super comfortable, hosts are very welcoming people although didn’t get the chance to properly meet them.. I sent a message and they were very kind. Will definitely be going back when I need a spot to camp on the island.

Weekend Trip to Book A Paddock

Belinda's paddock was just what we needed for our two camping families for an overnight stop. A large mown space, isolated but close enough to town. The fire pit was great. Belinda was a great host. Lots of joeys around for the kids to enjoy spotting. Lovely fire pit too.

Perfect little spot to pull in for a night or two, or more? Quiet, tidy and hassle free. Highly recommend.

Party of 3 couples in caravans. Was a great spot for a base camp. Awesome fire pit and a cool shelter to hide from the wind at night. 👌🏼

Great spot with plenty of room, nice and level. Great access for even large caravans. Wayne is very friendly and we enjoyed meeting his dogs, Tillie and Daisy and have them play around our campsite. Also lovely to have the horses come to greet us

Second time at Graces land! What a treat to be close to Melbourne and yet feel like you’re much further out! Enjoyed our stay here! Initially staying 3 nights however weather turned upside down on the last evening and didn’t want have our gear drying for the rest of the week if we stayed the last night, great amenities and Grace and her dogs are very accommodating and kind. Great place!

We had an amazing relaxing time here. Grace and her family are such warm and welcoming hosts, happy to help, share stories, checked in to make sure all is well, recommended good spots for hikes, sunsets etc. Best eggs ive had! The property is stunning , clean clear air, rolling hills, no matter the weather the energy was perfect. A very special spot, Nature at its finest, a serene escape indeed. Facilities were on point, very clean, hot showers, excelent toilets, good shade from the trees, spacious sites, plenty of privacy. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back and recommend to others ♥️🙏🙌 Thank You! Xxx
