      We had an amazing time! Neville & Elizabeth are fantastic people & welcomed us like family! The nightly wombat visits were so entertaining! The beautifully kept large camp sites gave plenty of privacy. The kids loved to explore the creek & surrounding bushland everyday, so much space to hide & play.

      Just a lovely peaceful spot. We had a quick stop over, paddock all on our own. Easy campfire meal and post meal wander down around the creek. Neville is an absolute legend and incredibly welcoming and hospitable.

      Neville is an excellent host. He met us at the gate. He offered us a portaloo if we needed one. Plenty of firewood around. Quiet it is just off the road but it is not to busy. 2wd accessible. Quiet bushland which meant lots of family bonding, fires, board games and belting out the tunes. Creek is low at moment lots of bamboo in waterway. Neville has great plans to restore the creek.

      Neville was at the gate to meet me and for a solo traveller that does not like to depend in google lol this was the start of a great experience. The area was quite and peaceful great for relaxing reading a book and watching the wild life .

      I enjoyed Tent camping on Neville's property along the creek. While this site was near a road, there was very little traffic so the site still felt private and relaxing. Look forward to staying again sometime 😊

      Had a great couple of days camping at Neville's place. Nice big flat grassy area to set up, right near a lovely little creek, it was near a road but hardly any traffic you don't really notice it. Neville was very accommodating, checked in via message and was available any time we had questions and gave us great info on the area. He also left us some firewood for our first night and delivered a loo to the site as well! Great walking tracks, very peaceful, really enjoyed our stay.

      Neville helped us get our drone down from 12 m up a gum tree, used his climbing gear . Relaxed check out and check in . Was a great location . Could access Young 30min away and access Iandra castle viewing. We made big fires from wood in the area . Just a great spot if you have a 4x4 or not .

      Had a great time over Easter long weekend on Neville’s property. Neville was very inviting and friendly he even gathered some fire wood for everyone for the first night. Japanese gardens are about 35mins drive away and the is a great waterhole/waterfall about 15mins away. Track to the waterfall requires small suv or bigger. I got there with a Subaru Forester. Sites are flat and the is plenty of wood in the nearby woods

      A nice place for weekend away with the kids. The kids loved playing in the creek and looking for firewood.

      The bird life at the site was incredible. You're close to a road but it's quiet & makes getting to the site easy. Neville is quick to answer the phone & generous with this time & sharing local knowledge

      Thank you Neville and Elizabeth for welcoming us so warmly to your property. Very easily accessible with a 2WD and camper trailer - the area along the creek was slashed and very comfortable. We loved the porta-loo so close and plenty of accessible firewood to collect. It was a great spot to base ourselves to explore Cowra (the Japanese Gardens are lovely and dog friendly) and Iandra Castle was open on Sunday and a great spot to visit (again, dog friendly - just not inside the house). Neville and Elizabeth are just lovely and nothing is too much trouble. The campsites are in a paddock between the creek and a road - but not much traffic at all on the road and was not an issue at all. Loved it and would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you again - it was lovely to meet you both!
