Open only in winter from mid April until October. Strictly no dogs, no firewood collecting or campfires made on the ground (in container is ok). "The best place in the world to easily see wild koalas". Ok for Caravans, (offroad) RVs tents. Hot shower, toilets, shelter shed, 'glamper campers' available to hire.

Very easy to book. Great place to camp, stayed the one night. Koalas easy to spot and had about 8 within 100 metres from our camp. Could see one climb and feed from our camp. Lots of other wild life and birds to see. Walk to historic homestead was great also. Would say again when back in the Port Lincoln area

Wow!
Fantastic place! So many koalas, emu and kangaroos. Helen’s soon came to say hi, we loved walking to the homestead and wandering the property gazing up into trees.

Definitely worth asking Helen for the guided tour to see the koalas

Lots of space for our large 2WD motorhome, with a fire pit nearby and other people staying about 50 metres away. So many koalas to check out. We booked a tour, for which we paid $20 x 2 for 2 people, when in fact two people doing 1 tour only need to pay $20. The tour was good value, so paying double was no big deal. We found driving into the property a bit challenging. The degree of corrugation of the public road before the entry gate is dependent on the grading schedule ( it wasn’t too bad when we came through). However road inside the property had significant pot holing and corrugations when we used it, and required slow and careful driving.

Koalas and more koalas !
What an amazing experience! I came with a friend from France who literally shed tears of joy when a koala walked right up to her! Helen is a delightful host who got some kindling for our wood and lit a campfire while we set up after arriving late afternoon. Shower is nice and hot and it’s great to be able to choose your site. Interesting history tour with Helen and her son.

Beautiful bush retreat
Amazing to be surrounded with animals and bird life, especially the koalas. Huge space so didn’t need to invade other campers space. This is a historical site so also some lovely walks to see old cottages, dry stone wall fences and sheep yards. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks Helen for allowing us to stay on your land.
