Hi there and welcome to my home, Penzance! I fell in love with this slice of heaven in 2010 and adore every back breaking inch of it. It was an overgrown mess at the time, covered in broken bricks and beer cans. I've tried to keep the bush aspect whilst creating a park-like surround with plenty of grassy space. I have big plans for this land and hope to build a steam museum in another area over the creek. Excitingly, I will also be establishing a blacksmiths forge in that area, which was moved piece by piece from an historic farm at Avoca. Chris is an engineer, antique restorer and artisan working from home.
I offer one site so privacy is assured. Larger groups can be accommodated, please enquire if you'd like to learn more.
I look forward to welcoming you to PENZANCE.
*Please be aware that we require a two night minimum stay, but please contact me about single night stays, especially on week-days.

The property has a mix of paddocks on 7 acres and a fern gully with a small creek in a 13 acre forest. Towering manna gums and messmate dominate the property along with huge fern trees in the forest. There is a prepared flat site at the front of the property where water could be provided and room in paddocks for tents.

Allira’s property is private, with lots of birds and lush greenery. The spot is very easy to get to, close to Healesville, and we explored some of the beautiful areas nearby. It was lovely to come back to the site and hear the kookaburras in the afternoon, and wake up to the birdsong.
Thank you for having us, we are feeling well rested after our stay.

Penzance was a great spot to camp. Chris was really accomodating and responsive to messages before we arrived. The bathroom was way more luxury than we are used to when camping! A flushing toilet, sink with running water, hand soap and hand towel were very well received. The campsite itself is really roomy, it easily accommodated a couple tents and a caravan. It is also quite a private spot on the property and there are some shady spots for hanging up a hammock. The firepit is well equipped for cooking over o flame too. Chris gave us a tour of his workshop which was really interesting. We’d happily return.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the park. The place is very peaceful and secure. There are a lot of horses and other farm animals that added to the charm of the place. We definitely love to come back!

We had the best time camping at Penzance Bushland Retreat! Loved having the campsite to ourselves. The flushing toilet was such a luxury. The firepit was perfect and the firewood we added on to our booking was generous. Looking forward to staying again.

This is one of the best Hipcamps I have visited over the last couple of years. A beautiful setting with large amounts of space, a large fire with cooking aids over the fire. Tables and chairs provided. The powder room is second to none and a touch of luxury considering off grid camping. The museum artefacts spread over the property provide a walk into the past. Chris is a very helpful host and maintains the property to a very high standard. Easy access and a small town very close for supplies. Optus coverage is limited which for me was a positive A very peaceful and relaxing location.

Such a peaceful and well set up place. Tables, benches, chairs, a big fire pit and the fanciest toilet I've ever seen at a campsite. Lots of birdlife, wildflowers and many interesting things from days gone by around the property to photograph. It would have been great to stay another night! Thanks for sharing your magnificent property with us, Chris!

We really enjoyed our stay. The horses were beautiful to watch, and the campsite was clean and well maintained. Our little white dog even went home looking cleaner than we expected!
He also became great friends with Jenny’s dog, which absolutely made our day.
Thanks for hosting us, Jenny - we’ll definitely recommend your place and we’d love to return.
