1 night at Green Gully Farmstay Camp Paddock

Our stay at Luke’s land was nothing short of wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. Luke went above and beyond to share all the details about the local area, giving us great tips on nearby attractions, restaurants, and things to do in town. It made exploring so much easier and added a personal touch to our visit. The campsite itself was lovely and peaceful, nestled in a quiet spot surrounded by nature. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. And let’s not forget about Roger, the friendly pet rooster! He was such a character, always hanging around and bringing a smile to our faces. Overall, Luke’s hospitality made our stay extra special. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm getaway!

Me and my mates enjoyed Camping in the spacious Farm Land. Luke provieded us with a keg and firewood to make a Fire under the Stars at Night, which made this experience extra Special. Luke is a nice Host and his roaster Roger was great company. I recommend this Place to people who enjoy Nature and the simple and quiet Style of Camping. The Camp Site is safe, private and you have the Chance to encounter some wallabies and birds.

3 nights at Bushy Ridge Hideaway

Terrific place to camp for a few days - having access to power and water was an absolute game changer and there is plenty of room for those who might to want to set up further down the ridge without utilities. The dogs loved the open space and there was plenty of firewood around (and gathered for us on this occasion). Close to Yea and Flowerdale - just perfect for a short break! The other campsite is not far away from the powered site on Bushy Ridge but was far enough away that both sites feel secluded. We saw kangaroos and some deer amble through the site one morning and the birdlife was as to be expected! This site is well worth considering!

Weekend Trip to Green Gully Farmstay Camp Paddock

Beautiful peaceful camp in the heart of Phillip Island. We absolutely loved the views over the paddocks and watched beautiful sunrises while wallabies, rabbits and cows wandered through the fog. The location was perfect for Cowes and all the attractions and the owner was helpful including giving us lots of tips. The onsite micro brewery was a great option of have on the doorstep and no issues with noise or patrons as you’re located well away from it all. We got our 20ft van in ok with bit of manuvering around the trees and fencing, but it’ll be even better with the new gates that are due to be installed. To have peace and lots to do all only an hour and a bit out of Melbourne it’s the perfect getaway 👌

Luke was incredibly welcoming. The paddock you camp in is flat with a fantastic fire pit. It was very quiet at night and you had heaps of space around you and between others. Plus the added bonus of a brewery right next to you was great. I would highly recommend staying here.

We had a great time camping at Bushy Ridge, it was easy to access and having running water was great. There was already a fire pit on site which saved us from packing one more thing. We are seasoned campers but it was a great way to comfortably introduce the little kiddos. Will definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time at the Winery Paddock. You could see the water from the paddock and we had some very large hay bails in the middle to act as a wind break if needed. The field is exposed so bring your own shade if it’s going to be hot. We also had shared use of a bin and hose with clean water. Access to the winery was easy and made for a great activity with the kids. Richie was super helpful and great to deal with- he even took the kids for a tractor ride. Would recommend to large family groups or people just wanting to see the island without hoards of other campers.

Large secluded plots per camper/group camping. Each one fenced off with trees. Enjoyed great sunset/sunrises, wide open skys and the distant sound of surf during the night. Ritchie is a great host, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the back paddocks for the self sufficient camping experience on Phillip Island

Everything went well ! Richie was very helpful and provided a lot of information and was so kind with the kids. The proximity with the lovely caws was one of their highlight of our 3 days trip on Philip Island. I was more impressed by having bandicoots, cape barren geese and wallabies all around our camp but I guess that's just a matter perspectives I
