We had a lovely and peaceful stay here. This was our ideal break from the city as it had all the amenities we needed and the only sounds were from nature. We explored the hiking trails on the property and were blessed with lovely weather. Our dog loved it here. It is a great place if you have a dog. Grace is very kind and considerate for her guests. Hot showers while camping were amazing! We will be back :)

Our group of 8 adults, 2 small children, 2 dogs absolutely enjoyed Mike’s spot. The land was spacious and very well kept. And the two fire pits and compost toilet useful for our long weekend stay. The hosts communication was prompt and informative. We hope to be back again soon!

Graceland is the perfect quick getaway from the stress of city life. The perfect setting among rolling hills filled with wildlife and all the modern comforts, hot water for showers and running water, to make even a first time camper feel comfortable. Our host and her husband were even kind enough to give us fresh eggs for breakfast! There’s amazing sunset views at the top of the hills that are a must see or if you’re looking to chill out there’s fire pits, bbq facilities all undercover with chairs and tables perfect for relaxing and reading or just enjoying the serenity. There’s no internet which makes it easier to switch off from the world and the entire farm is off grid so be self sufficient. There’s amazing food and coffee in the town centre of Yea which is only a short 15 minutes into town if you’re wanting a treat or lazy day off from cooking. Enjoy and rest your day and nights away!

We loved our stay at Mike's pine forest and paddock. The trees all made for some great scenery and it really felt like we had the place all to ourselves. There was plenty of space for our dogs to run around and burn off some energy and there was a perfectly positioned fire pit for us to set up around and enjoy the stars.
