Kielock Homestead is a unique farm stay experience located centrally in the beautiful Kiewa Valley Victoria where you can camp right on the bank of the Kiewa River. Some of the activities available include fishing, swimming, bush walking, bird and animal watching and bike riding. If you choose you can join in on farm activities such as feeding the animals, collecting eggs and planting/harvesting fruit and vegetables. We have a small market garden available where you can pick and purchase seasonal fresh produce, alternatively vegetable boxes and eggs are available by arrangement and delivered right to your campsite. Within the 200 acres of the property you will find it is home to many animals including kangaroos wombats platypus possums, bats and many bird and marine species. The main fish in the river are trout and cod so if you would like to try your luck fishing this is the place for you.Some of the surrounding towns include Mt Beauty (20 mins), Yackandandah (30 mins), Bright (50 mins), Beechworth (50 mins) Falls Creek (60 mins) with the border towns of Albury and Wodonga only 50 mins away. These beautiful towns contain an array of boutique wineries, craft breweries, bakeries and cafes, or you can choose to follow a farm gate food trail. The area also provides opportunities to go horse-riding, bike riding on one of the many rail trails or be adventurous on the mountain bike tracks at Falls Creek in the warmer months with snow sports in winter. The surrounding mountain ranges offer numerous famous 4wd trails or you might like to try your hand at panning for gold. This is a working farm and our animals are our family. They are very friendly but only know us and not you so please do not enter their homes without us, but feel free to talk to them over the gates. Be aware that all fences are electric and are switched on at all times. There is a dedicated communal campfire area for use when fire restrictions permit and we request that no additional fire pits are created during your stay. As this is a working property we are unable to accommodate your pets. For biosecurity reasons there is a strict No Pet policy. We look forward to greeting you upon arrival and showing you to your campsite.

The Rapids

We had a great time at the Rapids. A great spot on the river where the kids could float up and down all day then evenings around the campfire. Thanks to Charles and Cassie for a great location and looking after us.

Camp stay

Our stay at peppermint grove was wonderful. The camp site was amazing and private. The vista was lovely and we enjoyed just relaxing, walks and fishing. Highly recommend. Charles and Cass were great hosts and very welcoming.

Site 1 - Tent Site Only

Charles and Cas are great hosts. We enjoyed the fresh veggies plucked from their veggie patch. Had a great stay at Campsite 1 amongst the trees and nothing beats the sound of a beautiful river. Our 2YO toddler had an amazing time away from the concrete jungle.

Peppermint Grove

We love Charle’s property. My partner and I spent a few nights up at main camp in January. When our friends mentioned they wanted to go away at Easter we said we knew the perfect spot. Peppermint Grove was perfect for our group! Having the private land was perfect this time. It was right on the river, which was beautiful to spend our days in. Eagle nest was a sunset highlight which we loved sharing with our friends and then back to camp for a camp fire each night. We adventured to near by Bright and Mount Beauty, with the gorge walk being a highlight. Charles and Cassie were amazing hosts once again. We can’t wait to come back again!

Wombats Hollow

Great camping option

We had a fantastic time at Kielock Homestead. Beautiful weather, great camping site, swimming, kayaking, plenty of room. Charles is a wonderful host and the river access is a highlight. Renting the portaloos is a must, the ones we got were great quality. Thoroughly recommend staying here.
