Weekend Trip to Peppie Tree Drive

A great location with privacy and a balanced mix of grassed areas and native trees supporting alot of bird life. The best feature however was our hosts who I would give a 6 star rating for making us so welcome. We look forward to returning.

The most amazing place we’ve stayed at. It felt great to feel immersed in a more organic way of living and be present. The whole property was inspiring and we all left trying to come with ideas of how we could do the same 😂

Lovely little family friendly campsite. We played with the dogs, went for a walk through the veggie patch, saw the horses, kids went on the swing ad nauseum, and loved the fire pit and instant gas hot water showers. Thanks for a lovely stay.
