Loved the views! Shelly & Craig were so kind and offered for us to walk around the property if we wished. The one paddock with 4 spots gives you enough room to spread out and enjoy your site to yourself still. The sunset over the mountains was a cherry on top! We'd definitely stay again in the future.

Joel & Katie are so lovely! They were very helpful and the space is so beautiful. Each campsite has its own space and it’s still very private. Highly recommend staying here. Very good value for money and so close to Melbourne. We will be back!

3 nights at Cannavale Farm Stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Canna Vale Farm Stay, hosted by the amazing Shelly and Craig. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so warm and welcome – nothing was ever too much trouble. We were lucky enough to enjoy a tour around the farm, where we got up close and friendly with the animals, which was such a highlight. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful views in every direction. The location is fantastic and easy to find, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Shelly and Craig are some of the friendliest and most genuine hosts we’ve ever met, and their passion for what they do shines through. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and already planning our next visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will definitely be back again!
