This property was owned by an Italian family who came to Australia in the 30's. We bought the house in Aug 2021 and fell instantly in love with it and all its quirkiness.

The verandah area is yours to use, if you wish, for a bit of extra room to escape the rain or provide a bit of shade (depending on season) it has a powerpoint and light for your convenience. Unfortunately, as there are building works happening at the back of the cottage we have closed access to the toilet area for your safety at this time.

1 night at Dongara Bush Camp

Dongara Bush Camp was a fantastic place to base ourselves for the Dongara area. Although the Coastal conditions were hot and windy, the DBC site was sheltered and shaded. It was a short 5 minute drive to the beach and shops but it was always great to return to the peaceful bush camp. Having a super clean flushing toilet and delicious rainwater was a great bonus. We enjoyed the spacious camp kitchen which was full of character and provided a comfortable place to relax and share a meal. We came for one night and stayed for three, we could not recommend this place highly enough.

Just as described in the ad. Easy to find, a quiet field next to the owners property. The dogs were fine, didn’t bother us at all - they were more interested in the neighbours dog. Didn’t meet the host as we arrived around 7pm and left at 5am. Trees creating shade and a few swings hanging in the trees. A lovely place, would visit again and recommend. Thanks

We really enjoyed the relaxed, secluded powered site beneath a huge shady tree, and our dog was very reluctant to leave after a two night stay. The spacious sites are level and mostly covered in grass, we were lucky to have the whole area to ourselves. Despite some traffic noise, the wandering chickens created a countryside atmosphere.
