Unwind beside our gentle, shallow creek, where the soothing sounds of flowing water create the perfect backdrop for a peaceful off-grid camping experience. This is true nature camping at its best — no crowds, no noise, just you and the serene Australian bush. Our creek is ideal for sitting creekside with a good book, surrounded by the sounds of nature. The slow-moving water attracts local wildlife, offering wonderful opportunities for birdwatching and connecting with the landscape. All types of camping are welcome — pitch your tent under the trees, park your campervan, or set up your swag under the stars. This is free camping as it should be: off-grid, unspoiled, and surrounded by natural beauty. Whether you’re seeking a quiet weekend retreat, a base for exploring the region, or simply a place to disconnect and recharge, our creekside site offers the tranquility you’ve been looking for. Perfect for: solo travelers, couples, families, and anyone seeking a genuine off-grid camping experience in a peaceful natural setting.

Excellent Trout Fishing in large dams on property. Rainbow and Brown trout stocked in both dams. Good sized fish. Old , Rustic Bush Hut at main campsite which has verandah, wooden floor, and can be used for sleeping in or as general purpose area. Excellent yabby dams on property for the kids and adults who want to do some yabbying. Also eels in a another couple of dams on property, so it certainly has something for all anglers. 550 acre property which has 3 different seasonal creeks flowing through it. Six excellent hideaway Camping sites to choose from. Some close to the water. Large sites which can handle 40 campers per site. Good areas of bushland and also a working sheep farm. Very private areas for camping. Campfires available but only in months when fire restrictions are not in force. A wide range of birdlife and duck life, wildlife including kangaroos, possums, echidnas. In wet weather you may need a 4 wheel drive vechile to access some of the sites. You will need to bring all your camping gear as these are tent and vechile sites only. We dont have any huts at this stage. 30 minute drive to Ballarat, 45 Min Geelong, 2 minutes drive to the village of Elaine and The Farmgate Shop which is open 7 days a week with a full range of all groceries, bbq needs, drinks, snacks, etc. 5 minutes to dollys creek, 5 minutes to Mt Doran/Lal Lal, 10 minutes to Meredith. Its a hidden gem. We are happy to take your booking. Sorry strictly no dogs allowed.

Excellent communication and really friendly. The fire pit was a good size and we loved the bench swing near the camp fire. Google Maps was able to find the location but Waze struggled with the dirt road. It was great to take our dog too and my daughter enjoyed feeding the goats!

Weekend Trip to Boulder Brook Valley

We loved camping at the Boulder Brook Valley. Beautiful nature so close to the city. Nice setup, with flowing water, and the pergola was very handy. The planes didn't really bother us.

Weekend Trip to Sunny Lake Farm

Victoria’s property is just absolutely beautiful. Myself and my partner enjoyed our stay and Victoria was a fabulous host. She was friendly and ensured our one night stay had everything we needed. We brought our caravan, enjoyed a fire and relaxed. Great place to switch of from the everyday hustle of city life. Bonus was her two friendly dogs that just love being around people. Will definitely be back! Next time with the kids!

My partner and I only stayed one night in our swag but had such a lovely time. It was great meeting the family and all the critters that call this island in the trees home. The property is easy to find and is in a great location to explore the surrounds. The two large sites spaced amongst the flowers were tidy and easy to access. Large fire pits great for a group to camp around in the cooler months. The proteas were out in all their glory and the ones we chose to take home made it all the way back to QLD and are still looking stunning weeks later! Thank you very much Tamara and family for a great night away 😊🌱

Wonderful place to stay, great location and lovely gallery and cafe. Owners were wonderful, and it was quick and easy to get to Melbourne and other more touristy towns. Lovely town as well, friendly and with everything you need. Existing photos don’t do it justice, it is a lovely property!

What a beautiful spot! Aaron welcomed us and showed us to camp where we had wood in abundance for the fire. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but love to come back and float/swim in the lake. Jem, the host was awesome in answering all my Q’s ahead of arrival as we camped with big group.

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 wanted to get away for one night, and Tamara's farm was perfect for that. Lots of great nature walks nearby and Tamara's place was at the heart of what we had planned. Loved the goats and birdlife too. Would have loved to have stayed longer. And our dog loved it too.
