Great hosts, nice campsites with the larger more open ones away from the majority of people, close to shops but yet in the middle of knowhere.

Awesome hosts!
Alana and Steve are absolute legends. What a beautiful, well equiped and well maintained camp with lots of resident wallabies, possums and other wildlife. We’ll be back!

Steve and Alana have such a beautiful site and they are fantastic hosts. The kitchen is well stocked with basics and utensils, as well as very clean. The showers and bathroom were also super clean. Steve was very helpful in recommending walks and routes to take around Tassie; clearly loves where he lives and helping others to see the best bits of it. The animal feeding in the evenings was so cute. Would definitely recommend this campsite and would love to visit again!! Can’t recommend enough!!
