Weekend Trip to Amber Ridge Estate

Beautiful property, spacious sites, calming views. Location perfect for day adventures, close to Donnybrook and surrounding fruit/veg farms. 👌

1 night at Amber Ridge Estate

We had a wonderful stay at the Creek Junction site! We were three families and the site was spacious enough for all of us. The kids absolutely loved playing and running around the wide open space. It felt safe, peaceful, and private—even with the house nearby. We had a great time around the bonfire, playing guitar and singing under the stars. It was a beautiful experience, and we only wish we could have stayed longer. We’ll definitely be back and bring more friends next time. Thank you Dawn and Mick for sharing this amazing spot with us!

Weekend Trip to Whicher Farm Campsite

Had an amazing relaxing long weekend here. In an open paddock surrounds by trees and the sounds of wildlife. Our pup had the best time racing around in an open space. Having the fire pit to sit by while star gazing was a treat. And there were loads of stars out for us. Will be back again.

Weekend Trip to Fair Harvest Retreat Margaret River

We had the most relaxing time at Fait Harvest. The hosts, Jodie and Dorothee, were so friendly and accomodating. There is a little fridge/shop to buy fresh eggs and veggies as well as relishes and other things made in the premises, loads of animals, stuff for kids to do and a large communal fireplace that you are welcome to use. We will definitely be back-

2 nights at Amber Ridge Estate

Beautiful serene location. So good we could take our Shepherd there and know the area was fenced, we had the entire paddock to ourselves. Easy to access and great for our first ever trip in our caravan.

Weekend Trip to Amber Ridge Estate

We had a wonderful two night stay at Hidden Corner site at Amber Ridge Estate out of Donnybrook. We can’t speak highly enough of the experience. The layout of the campsites are such that the feeling of seclusion is guaranteed. The site was flat for our Offroad van with a fire pit and bag of timber waiting. The site backs onto the State Forrest. Our dog was able to be off lead and enjoyed the time too. Communications with Mick and Dawn were excellent prior to arriving and we were met by Dawn on arrival and directed to to site. A first class Hip Camp location, close to Perth for a stress free weekend.

1 night at Fair Harvest Retreat Margaret River

Jodie & Dorothea’s farm was such a beautiful place to stay! We made and enjoyed a nice campfire while having our dinner and got up in the morning and went for a little explore around the property meeting the ducks, goats, horses and one cute little dog. The camp kitchen and nice hot showers were great, there’s a lot of thought and love that has gone into their place and we’re grateful you are sharing your space with the community. Would be a great place for kids or bigger family groups. I’d love to come back, thanks for having us!

4 nights at Olive Hill Farm RV Campground Margaret River

We absolutely loved our time at Olive Hill Farm. The setting is beautiful and incredibly peaceful – surrounded by nature with stunning views in every direction. The campground was spotless and well maintained, with a real sense of care in the way everything was presented. It was quiet, relaxing, and just what we were after. The host was warm and welcoming, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our stay a good one. Highly recommended – we’ll definitely be back.
