From the moment you pull into the driveway you can see the love and effort that Amanda puts into the property. We were greeted with a very warm welcome, the camping area is spacious with lots of different areas and corners to explore. Close to all the amazing vineyards and we just loved exploring the area. Very highly recommended!! We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely one night stay to test out a camper trailer. Amanda was most welcoming and we loved our site, the set up, the outdoor shower, the beautiful gardens and the many touches of whimsy. If you prefer the rigidity of caravan parks, this is not for you. If you love space, thoughtful touches (eg homegrown tomatoes and passionfruit left for guests) and a quiet garden setting I suggest you stay here.

A great rural retreat, with rustic charm.
With a shady creek frontage, if you sit still, you can watch the fish breaking the surface.

I had a wonderful relaxing night at Amanda and Geoff's property. So close to beach and shops, but a world away from hustle. Amanda's garden is beautiful, and the care and thought that has gone into the out buildings made me feel like I'd landed amongst very talented and thoughtful atisans. From the outdoor shower under the gums to the shed dinning room, there are thoughtful and unique gestures of welcome scattered throughout. Highly recommended and a place I'm sure to return to. I travelled solo and felt secure and safe.

This property is a great getaway! The level of privacy was good, making us feel like we were camping alone. Host was fantastic—welcoming, attentive, and clearly proud of this beautiful space.
The amenities truly set this site apart. The kitchen is stunning and fully equipped, while the shower felt like a luxury spa experience in the bush. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and high-end comfort. We can’t wait to come back!

Lovely spacious area. Beautiful garden. Composting toilet was good. Camp kitchen seemed to have everything necessary although we didn't use it. We were really comfortable there, especially as we were tucked away out of the wind which we didn't feel at all. Surprisingly there was some traffic noise in the morning but otherwise very peaceful and totally quiet at night. Would definitely stay again if in the area. Thank you Amanda.

We had a perfect stay at Warburton Holiday Park. It is an excellent camp ground, with easy access to the river for a relaxing float downstream. The amenities were all clean and well equipped and the town & great old pub just a short drive away.
