Enjoy the serenity! Bring your horses and your dog, bring your guitar, a good book, even bring a golf set and a bucket of balls. You will have 80 acres of stunning country all to yourselves. Only one booking taken at a time. No one else will be anywhere near! Self-contained campers only, please bring in what you need, and take all waste with you.
Base price covers up to 8 people, with capacity capped at 12 people.
The land is characterised by rolling hills, covered by mostly open grassland, with patches of gum trees for shade, and a dam and creek. There's also a native eucalypt forest right across the road with miles of fire trails for walking and horse riding. In the cooler months, the land turns from shades of gold to greens.
There are no facilities, its just you and the land (bliss!) so ensure you have everything you need with you, and take all your waste when you leave.
If you fancy fresh fish for dinner, just down the road is Tuki Trout Farm, or nearby Cairn Curran Reservoir and Tullaroop Reservoir are great for fishing. The tourist villages of Newstead, Clunes and Maldon are all a short drive away, and Daylesford is just 35km drive.
Campfires are permitted when fire bans are not in place.
NOTE: We do offer the neighbouring 50-acre paddock for hunting/shooting - with conditions. Please note, this activity is offered separately to our Hipcamp operation and needs to be organised with us directly. Also, we do not allow hunting/shooting next door, if there is a group camping already.Note: non-overnight site, see more below.
Enjoy the serenity! Bring your mountain bikes and your dog, even bring a golf set and a bucket of balls. Make a nice fire to sit around (not overnight). You will have 80 acres of stunning country all to yourselves. Only one booking taken at a time. No one else will be anywhere near!
For mountain biking there is a good variety of terrain. Relatively flat areas and some steep. The land falls 60m over about a distance of say 900m if you rode from the high point to lowest (at the creek). But there is a flatter area at the top say 300-400m long for more gentle rides.
Here is something important. The land for any of the above uses is not for overnight. No sleeping overnight on site. I realise the booking button says per "night" but I cannot change that - it is per "day". For sleeping it will be necessary to go over the road to the state forest, e.g. in Tom Jones track. Yes, believe it or not, camping is generally ok right over the road in a forest (see link for State Forest rules below) but not permitted on this more open land (for the moment at least) . So why not just ride your bikes, light a lunchtime BBQ, or watch birds, etc in the State Forest? Good point! Save money! But maybe you want a clearer place to yourself?
