Great little spot that's out of town but still only a few minutes away from shops, gym and 15mins to Geelong CBD. We stayed before heading to the Spirit of Tasmania. The paddock is flat with shady trees dotted around and situated on a quiet deadend road.

Had an amazing experience at Galea Ranch! Wayne and Sharelle are incredibly welcoming and genuine hosts who truly care about their guests. The place is peaceful, well-kept, and has a warm family vibe that makes you feel right at home. Their attention to detail and friendly hospitality made the whole visit unforgettable. Highly recommended — can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time camping at Foxes Den. The campsites are very well looked after and spaced out. Hugh generously provided us with plenty of firewood. Watching the sunrise behind all the trees was stunning!

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.
