... Hi there and welcome to our home, Penzance! We fell in love with our slice of heaven in 2010 and adore every back breaking inch of it. It was an over grown mess at the time, covered in broken bricks and beer cans. We've tried to keep the bush aspect while creating a park like surround with plenty of grassy space. We have big plans for our land and hope to build a steam museum in our other area over the creek. Excitingly, we 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 am an actor and artist working in metal, clay and paint. I'm inspired by my flower garden and the bush that frames it. We offer one site so privacy is assured. Larger groups can be accommodated, please enquire if you'd like to learn more. We look forward to welcoming you to Penzance.

1 night at Mountain Flower Farm

We enjoyed camping at the flower farm. The location is central to Kinglake, which was convenient. It was peaceful and the surroundings were pleasant. The directions given by the host were easy to follow.

This was our second 🦊 Camp for our end of year celebrations at this spot. Great choicec once again. Secluded, quiet, well set out campsite to be able support a group of young guys have a great time to blow off a little steam at the end of a very busy year. BBQ'ing, swimming in the fantastic billabong, camp fires, beer, whiskey, music, impromptu cricket match and lots of laughs were had by all. Thanks once again to our host Michael for allowing us to utilise his property once again. Andy & The 🦊 Cubs at Fox Mowing & Gardening The Hills

Weekend Trip to Mountain Flower Farm

We had a wonderful time at the Farm. The space was great, and the kids loved running around and also feeding the animals. Tamara was a lovely host, dropped off our pre-ordered bottle of local gin and some animal food, and made sure we had everything we needed! Excellent location.... secluded with beautiful views, yet walking distance from the shops/pub and only an hour from Melbourne. Will stay here again!

Our last camping trip of the year and by far the best one. Very relaxing, peaceful, and far from the city noise. We’ll definitely be back again.

Weekend Trip to Reedy Creek Camping

This is a great spot for a weekend away from Melbourne with a pooch. It's easy access, plenty of shade, beautiful large clean dam for swimming. There are a few local cars that go by and I have heard a bit of shooting both times I've camped here. Apart from that, private, quiet and very pretty.

Weekend Trip to Shacks at Kardella Park

Damiens’ Hipcamp stay was nothing short of magical! The location is great—peaceful, beautiful, and just a short distance from the beach, making it easy to enjoy ocean breezes and stunning sunsets. One of the highlights was definitely the miniature horses and goats—they are incredibly sweet and added such a unique, joyful touch to the experience. The host truly made the stay exceptional. They were welcoming, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. From helpful local tips to thoughtful check-ins, their hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with coastal vibes, charming animals, and an amazing host, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back! Note: bring bug spray repellent as the flies and mozzies come in hard when its warm, humid and no wind

Great site. Lots of space and really well maintained. My dog lived her best life. The bathroom is a beautiful touch of glam in the middle of the bush. We'll be back!

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.

Great little spot, very private and cozy with some incredible wildlife out on display. And only a few minutes from town, so convenient as well. Thank you to Allira for letting us stay in this gem!
