Imagine the rustic fun and earthiness of cooking on an open fire (or BBQ) whilst having the luxury of a cozy cabin with all the creature comforts of a quality accommodation venue.
You will find this on our working farm, in the heart of the pristine Strathbogie Ranges...a world away from city life. We live alongside echidnas, wombats, koalas, platypus, kangaroos, and a very friendly Kelpie. Although we live on the property, we do our utmost to maintain your privacy at all times.
Idyllic rural property is located amongst the stunning granite boulders of Victoria's Strathbogie ranges. Gorgeous peaceful walks and places to just sit.... and sit some more....a perennial mountain creek borders this working farm - 20-30 mins from many local cafes, restaurants, pubs, and wineries. Take a creek walk....spot some platypus perhaps? Grey nomads might even use it as a refreshing break from the 'van! Plenty of parking...and star gazers are welcome to explore our very dark night sky. We provide a local sourdough loaf of bread to your cottage.
Important to note:
Local shops are 30 mins drive away so please bring any necessities with you. We welcome babes in arms and we can provide a portable cot, however, as this is a working farm with unfenced dams, creeks, and electric fencing we cannot accommodate toddlers or older children.
No Pets permitted.
We reserve the right to ask BnB guests to leave if a bushfire is nearby or if the Fire Danger Rating is extreme or catastrophic - we will offer a credit.

A great overnight stop between Sydney and the Grampians. Easy to find. We camped and the ground was flat and shady. Some background noise from the nearby freeway and train line.

Great communication prior to our trip for directions and how to find a great spot.
Daily updates from Prue and Steve about fire bans.
The area and views are amazing and all of the camp spots we saw were flat and lots of trees around if you need a bit of extra shelter. Waranga Basin is really nice, lovely water for miles!
Only a few minutes to Rushworth if you need anything too.

Beautiful and peaceful. I loved setting up at the water for a weekend of swimming and relaxing. I loved the kangaroos of the morning and evening. Best part we were 5 min from home and got to experience a beautiful part of Waranga Shores.
Thanks for having us, our family and friends.

Clear directions made getting there easy. The place was beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. We loved being able to choose our own spot and really enjoy being away from others. The lake access was unreal such a highlight that you can access it no matter where you set up. Not a single complaint from us. Best spot, hands down. We’ll be back!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Nillawarre camp site and it was a great experience! This campsite offers a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
The location is simply perfect! It's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The best part is that the campsite is well-maintained, with clean bathrooms and showers through out the day. Ginnie goes above and beyond to make sure the facilities are well maintained ensuring our stay was comfortable. Really appreciate your effort!
Plenty of activities to do as well. Kids loved the animal feeding.
We highly recommend this campsite and It's a perfect spot for families, couples, and solo adventurers alike!

We were at Badgery Point in two caravans with friends for 3 nights. We all loved it and would love to go back there one day. There is a lot of space and so you can feel like you are camping alone even with others there. The views of the water were beautiful and we managed to experience weather from hot and still to windy and stormy. The sky over the Basin was just amazing during the storm! Rushworh is a gorgeous town and is very close to Badgery Point, so a short drive to a pub meal, IGA, bakery, coffee shop and a great op shop. Thanks Paula.

We really enjoyed our time camping at Badgery Point. The views are amazing, worth getting up for sunrise. Prue was great, letting us know in advance about the windy conditions which couldn't be helped. Camp sites well spaced out and felt private - even over new year.

Just had a fantastic 5 day stay at Badgery Point. This is the second time we have stayed here. There is so many spots to choose from so u are always in ur own quiet spot . Every day we sat at the water while the kids played ( recommended taking a gazebo) . Only thing I can suggest if someone is taking the kids is it can get a little prickly so have enclosed shoes. Will definitely be back .
