Amazing place for our first time staying at a farm. Damien the host greeted us when we arrived and welcomed us and also provided us with a fire pit. The farm is in walking distance to the beach and local shop. This is in a great location and highly recommended. We will definitely be coming back and staying again

Damien was such a fantastic host — super lovely and incredibly accommodating. He made us feel right at home and even offered us a fire pit, and had a chat with us explaining the farm and the animals he has on it which made our stay even more special (including some of the beautiful visiting bats and black parakeets) The location is absolutely stunning. We woke up with a mild sea breeze while looking over the beautiful farm. It was peaceful, spacious, and just what we needed to unwind. There’s so much room to spread out, and the whole vibe is just pure serenity.

Marc was very accommodating. On the second night, we came back from surfing to a lit fire, which was very considerate. The site is also just the right size for a peaceful getaway. Would definitely recommend!

Loved it so much I booked a second night! Amazing location, across the road from the water, bike paths, and toilets. Huge property with limited sites so lots of space to yourself. Damian goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed, including lots of local suggestions on what the area has to offer. 10/10!

We were in the top paddock and for most of the week had it to ourselves. Good walk down to the foreshore, which our pooches enjoyed. Peaceful. If you enjoy stretching your legs then you will like this spot.

French Island Cottage - Camping

4 sites · Lodging75 acres · French Island, VIC
French Island is Victoria’s best kept secret. Most of the island is national park. There are lots of koalas, echidnas, birds, wildflowers, and a general store. It’s a great place to getaway… from everything. Our cottage offers sustainable luxury, with two comfy queen-bed rooms, each has a private bathroom, plus a lounge/kitchen with a cosy fire.  There's space for four more camping nearby, sharing the facilities.This is off-the-grid living; electricity and water come from the sky, heat from burning home grown timber. Take a short walk to 5 kms of deserted beach and the national park, hang out round the fire-pit, enjoy our DVD and games library, order a meal… or a cocktail… or do nothing much at all. Our property is 75 acres of diverse wooded heath land, which we are enthusiastically rejuvenating to capture carbon. There’s a lot to see and like.
