Tired of the hustle and bustle of city life? This is your chance to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with the great outdoors. Just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, this fantastic weekender block is the perfect escape from the daily grind — an ideal retreat for a weekend getaway. Let the kids run wild and free, go fishing in the creek adjoining the property, and immerse yourself in the beautiful birdlife and tranquility.
There’s plenty of space to roam, relax, and create unforgettable memories.
Ideally we prefer self contained campers but there is a very basic pit toilet on site you can access.
Located close to the stunning Upper Yarra Dam and a welcoming local pub, you’re never too far from a cold drink or a scenic hike.

Welcome to Wildcroft Estate, a little piece of heaven nestled in the beautiful valley of the Yea Hills of Victoria. Where every moment feels like a slice of paradise. Our serene sanctuary offers an opportunity for profound inner rejuvenation, stirring dormant hearts awake. Spread across six hundred acres of pristine natural splendour, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the embrace of nature, camping beneath starlit skies and relishing the serene spectacle of sunrise and sunset.
Venture into the wilderness to witness the dance of local wildlife in their native habitat, serenaded by the enchanting melodies of birdsong and the majestic call of stag deer roaring to a doe for mating. Our friendly equine companions are eager to share a carrot treat (under the careful supervision of our staff, of course).
Wildcroft Estate is perfect for people who love hiking and anyone just looking for a getaway during the long weekends. You can escape here and catch sight of varied species of wildlife as the sun rises or sets. There are fire/grill pits on the campsites and man/woman toilets and showers.
A rotonda for our guests as a communal area where you can enjoy a firepit while having a drink and a yarn. Dog-friendly dogs are allowed but on leashes.
Horse riding, visitors who enjoy horseback riding are invited to explore the rolling hills and scenic trails of our property on their own horses. yards are available at an extra cost and a nice and early countryman breakfast can be arranged as well. Groups are welcome.

Loved this farm! So nice and quiet, with beautiful rolling hills and some great hikes around. Grace was extremely welcoming. No reception, which was nice, but Grace did offer to use her Starlink if we needed some connection, which worked a treat. Thank you for having us, Grace!

The Wildcroft Estate was a great place to camp, with good amenities and beautiful views. The paddock is very open, so there’s plenty of space to choose the perfect camping spot. Grace was lovely and checked in to make sure everything was going well. Would definitely come back.

Great hospitality from Greg
Great location general store and pub with in walking distance the publican is lovely a real wag of a guy and happy
Nothing was to much to ask of Greg the owner of the property liked the idea that there is only 6 to 8 camp-sites allowed at one time which is great you can choose your own location to pitch a tent

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.

We had a lovely and peaceful stay here. This was our ideal break from the city as it had all the amenities we needed and the only sounds were from nature. We explored the hiking trails on the property and were blessed with lovely weather. Our dog loved it here. It is a great place if you have a dog. Grace is very kind and considerate for her guests. Hot showers while camping were amazing! We will be back :)

We loved camping at the Secret Garden (16 mates plus a dog!, all tent camping). So close to the city but with a secluded kind of vibe. Flat ground for tents was limited but we all made do just fine. The area and grounds are lovely and well maintained. BBQ and tables worked a treat. We didn't end up using any power on site so cannot comment but there was solar and a battery on site. The owner was extremely helpful in the lead up and very accomodating. Sunsets and plane spotting were fantastic. It was still a little chilly for us to get in the water but the spot itself was stunning. We'll be back!

A unique remote location but you are still close to Melbourne.
Plenty of space for a large group to camp and still have private space if they choose.
It's a really cool place but will only stay that way if we look after it.
A good camping motto is: "Always leave the campsite better than you found it".
