We camped at Featherleaf Farm Retreat for 3 nights with our two kids aged 7 and 5 years and two dogs. We all had a blast and are already planning a return trip. There are three locations to choose from, including a top paddock with two delightful cows, Georgia and Beauty. No surprise where we went. Our two boys made best of friends with these two playful and curious personalities whose paddock we shared. Beauty loved her cuddles and scratches. Georgia is dignified and will happily accept any apples you may have.
Megan the host was warm and welcoming and gave us some wonderful insights into the area’s local wildlife. We listened to a chorus of birds during the day and the snuffles of kangaroos in the paddocks at night. A lolloping great big friendly dog, Finnigan, loves company and is happy to greet you.
We ensured we were self sufficient visiting this site. If you are bringing a portable toilet, Simpson, a 7 minute drive away, has a caravan park that provides free and easy disposal facilities. Port Campbell is a 30 minute drive.
We loved the views from our tent. In the mornings, the paddocks were covered in dew and evening sunsets give spectacular moments for photographs. The dark night skies were particularly awesome for our suburban born kids who were amazed by the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds. They spent a long time shooting star and satellite spotting. Thanks Megan!
