Ellinbank, VIC · 1 site · Tent, RV
A unique slice of paradise just 15 minutes from the bustling town of Warragul and 1.5 hours from Melbourne CBD, providing the best of both worlds — relaxing seclusion and convenience.
Experience the power of Mother Nature as she quietly reclaims the land from this property’s industrial past. As a working sand quarry 45 years ago the natural beauty was denuded, but the scars have long since vanished beneath native vegetation that is gradually reinstating the natural temperate rainforest that belongs here. See where the early succession wattles have built the soil for the later herbs and shrubs, and witness the influx of flora and fauna. The 17 acres contains some cleared areas, some natural bush, some natural regeneration and a small pine forest.
Wildlife abounds, from baby wedgetail eagles and peregrine falcons to wallabies swimming in water troughs on hot days, elusive Gippsland Giant Earthworms, and regular wombat visitors. Still, cold nights are prime owl-calling conditions with sound travelling beautifully across the valleys.
Wander around the property independently, or join the host—an experienced grassland ecologist—for a guided tour.
This property provides a real getaway, with camping provided a good distance off the road. Travelling horses can be accommodated by arrangement in either a stable, or yards. A 20x60m sand arena can be used by arrangement.
Solo female campers are particularly welcomed & supported in this secluded and safe environment, with on site female host.
Local Interests: Mount Worth State Park, with its incredible giant tree walk and fern gullies, is only 10 minutes away. You can also travel along the iconic Grand Ridge Road, with its cathedral-like forests, toward Tarra-Bulga National Park to explore walking trails through cool temperate rainforest. The Grand Ridge Rail Trail begins 45 minutes away at Mirboo North.
Cafés, galleries, breweries, and wineries are close at hand, and daffodil farms that ablaze in golden glory form part of the view. Lardner Park, with its many field days and functions, is a short 15-minute drive. The surf beach at Inverloch can be reached in one hour, while the mountain resort of Mount Baw Baw is 1.5 hours to the north.

Hi Shelly
What a stunning getaway, an hour from home.
From the minute we drove through the gates and saw that view, we were greeted by a friendly face, you made us feel so welcome, it was like a home away from home. The stress of even normal suburban life seemed to leave both our bodies in an instant.
An hour later we were siting around the campfire with views out over the dam and jetty to the mountains in the background, over arched by a breathtaking sunset of orange and pink.
Thankyou for allowing us the opportunity to experience a taste of your everyday it made my wife’s birthday, can’t wait to come back with the grandkids

The fire pit was perfect for keeping warm in the evening, and the entire campsite was clean and well maintained. We really appreciated the relaxing atmosphere and the privacy.
We stayed one night in our tent and were pleasantly surprised to discover the bell tents available on site. They looked warm and cozy for winter, with heaters and very comfortable furnishings. We'd love to try staying in one on our next visit.

Weekend Trip to Tarwin Lower Eco Studio (Off Grid)
What a beautiful location
Really enjoyed the isolation and little cocoon of privacy, the Eco cabin provided. Just what I needed to relax and unwind to finish some uni work uninterrupted by calls and emails . Would love to come back for a longer stay. As it was like arriving home to a big hug from grandma , as I was welcomed with a warm fire , fresh flowers, clean sheets and the option of a hot water bottle.
Definitely will be back but shhh 🤫 it’s to sweet to share.
Guests do need to be aware of its eco features and low impact mindset as outlined by Jo’s descriptions but they don’t impact on your stay if you know.

Where to go
Summerlands
On the southwestern tip of Phillip Island, Summerlands is home to the island’s main attraction, the Penguin Parade. The natural spectacle of tens of thousands of penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling toward their nests takes place just after sunset every evening. Nearby you’ll find Nobbies Centre, outside of which you can see fur seals and birds, then learn about them through interactive displays. As Summerlands is a protected area, you’ll need to set up camp a little farther away. Nevertheless, you’ll find camping areas within a 10-minute drive.
Ventnor
In the small town of Ventnor, just a five-minute drive from the Penguin Parade, camping options include upscale glamping near Berry’s Beach and rural settings near Ventnor Beach.
Cowes
As the island’s main township, Cowes is home to several accommodation options, including camping areas. Your choices include family-friendly holiday parks with access to both the beach and nearby shops and restaurants.
Newhaven
In the southeast of the island, minutes from San Remo, Newhaven is home to caravan parks set upon sand dunes. Some parks feature powered caravan sites and non-powered camping grounds, plus comforts such as wifi and family playgrounds.
