Weekend Trip to The Love Shack + Extras welcome

Lovely camping spot with a cosy, well‑set‑up area and peaceful surroundings, but the constant rain during the stay made it hard to fully enjoy everything on offer; would happily return again in better weather.

Weekend Trip to The Love Shack + Extras welcome

My partner and I had a wonderful time at the Love Shack, one of those places that makes you want to extend your stay and come again. The scenery was beautiful and the amenities were plenty! We camped on the grass with a tent and it rained our last night but the ground stayed solid and not muddy, helpful for when we were packing up. Will definitely return again hopefully with friends this time!

The love shack is absolutely lovely, with a secluded feel but not far from amenities in town. Stunning morning views from the cabin. Has all the basic amenities for a stay and to cook/BBQ your own meals.

Weekend Trip to The Love Shack + Extras welcome

The Love Shack was absolutely exquisite in every way shape and form. Charming, cosy, warm, and delightfully secluded. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The space had an enchanting atmosphere that made it feel both magical and intimate. Kate’s thoughtful touches were evident throughout and genuinely appreciated, adding a layer of care that made the experience feel even more special. Although we had planned to explore the nearby national park, we found ourselves not wanting to leave the environment at all and just simply soaking up the beautiful energy of the space. It truly was the perfect weekend escape. Thank you so much, Kate we’ll definitely be back!

Such a beautiful spot! My friend and I had the perfect weekend away, she was very comfortable in the “love shack” and I stayed in my RV out the front. sitting by the fire inside was magical and toasty warm. I happened to meet the lovely hosts as they were heading out and they went out of their way to help me out with an issue I had. I can’t wait to stay again maybe with a big group!

We loved staying here at the "Love Shack", the location is beautiful and so peaceful. we had a small group that setup tents in addition to the Shack, brought a couple of kids and dogs and they had an incredible time, the lawn games were a massive hit. The location also is perfect, close to hiking beaches, main town of Yarram with a beautiful backdrop when at the shack. the setup is fantastic, bbq each night, then relax by the indoor or outdoor fireplace. Kate was fantastic and very friendly and helpful when called on. Thank you Kate for a wonderful space and time away from Melbourne.

4 nights at Parsons Flat River Barn & Glamping

Trish and Paul were so welcoming and accommodating to everything we need. The view by the river was so relaxing and the tent was so spacious. They even had fairy lights both inside and outside the tent. I can’t count the number of time I had a little nap in the hammock by the river. The water was so warm to swim and we even took our dogs in for a bit of a swim too. There was also so much space on the property for our 2 dogs to run around and even made some new friend during the stay. Thank you Trish and Paul for opening up your property for us to visit and stay. Will definitely be back again
