Second visit to Eagle Ridge, absolutely beautiful spot with lovely views thru the Valley. So close to Yarra Glen yet you feel like you’re miles away from anywhere. Andrew is a great host, will pop his head in for a friendly chat. Will definitely be back.

We loved how close this little gem was which was perfect for a quick weekend away. Large private space with fire pit and plenty of firewood around. Kids had a ball swinging on the tyre swing and checking out the sheep.

Weekend Trip to Galea Ranch

Will definitely come again. We had a group of 5 dads and 5 kids, and tented on lush grass near an onsite fire pit and little playground. Wayne and Sharelle’s hospitality was lovely, taking the kids to feed the chickens and answering all the questions they had about the highland coos. It’s a beautiful property, very peaceful, away from the tourist areas but close enough to grab a morning coffee and breakfast. Plenty of firewood provided and the flush toilet and hot shower amenities were spotless, inviting and straight out of home. You’re separated from the one other camp site so you have a feeling of having the place to your own. Would highly recommend.

If you're a lover of old school Australiana vibes I know you'll appreciate this place! Plenty to lap up. A great mix of sites as well; lush/ private/ great views/ secluded/ grassy/ flat etc, take your pick! Suited more for people who are comfortable being far away from a toilet. The property is nice and spacious. Hosts are kind too! Will definitely come back!
