Walden Cottage
Returning again!
This was our third trip back to Gardenfarm and Walden cottage. Each time it seems to become more beautiful and relaxing. It was so good to see Bob - thank you again for your kindness and generosity! Our girls love to visit and this time was so special meeting Penny! I highly recommend a stay at Walden cottage - and I have no doubt we’ll be back again!

We loved the natural beauty of the surrounding green hills and lush vegetation. The free ranging sheep, cows, chickens, geese and bonnie the sheep dog were welcome guests amongst our tents. The kids loved the natural pond and all the frogs and even had a swim or two on hot days. The nearby creek was also great fun for the kids.

That site was quiet and beautiful, but the farm was too far from everything.

Nice place for kids to experience farm life and being next to the stream was refreshing. The campground and facilities are shared with lots of other people hence was a bit dirty, long wait times, at times lacked hot water and full of dead insects. The shower head was broken on the first night but was quickly fixed the next day. There were also animal 💩 everywhere so be sure to bring a scoop to clear them out before setting up the tent. Overall, it was a good experience.

Camping with the kids
This was the perfect place to camp with my kids. I was after a place that would be quiet, that had a bush setting but also toilet and showers. Great farm with sheep, geese and Bonnie the dog. There’s even a lamb called skittles that thinks it’s a dog. The stream nearby put us to sleep with its constant white noise. The hosts were friendly too. Would definitely come back again if time permitted.

Perfect Hide away on Albert River
What an incredibly special place. So peaceful and quiet. The bird life was spectacular and the sound of the river rustling by and the views was awesome. Bob was a most gracious host and we thoroughly enjoyed the company of Skittles the little lamb and playtime with Bonnie the Border Collie. If you want to just escape life! This is the perfect place to do so!

Perfect getaway trip
We had a perfect getaway trip here and loved the idyllic camping site. The weather was a bit wet when we stay but we still enjoyed the quiet and peaceful surroundings, the lovely farm animals, and the warm camp fire with plenty of firewoods. The bathroom was tidy and clean, the hot water shower was really hot and none stopping, the beautiful hostess was super kind and friendly, feeding the cute little lamb Skito was absolutely a bonus for the kids. There were plenty of nice places to go within an hour's drive, we were all glad that we booked this place instead of the crowded Wilson park camp site.

Walden Cottage
Immersed in the nature with animals
If you want to escape the bustling city and just relax and rejuvenate, the Walden cottage is perfect for you! You will be surrounded by geese, cows and sheep as well as rivers and mountains. Such a wonderful place to spend days exploring or admiring the mist rising while sipping your cuppa. We specifically enjoy taking our breakfast in the warmth of the cottage while watching the ducks landing in the pond.

Wow! We loved camping on Bob's land. It is a very special place, paradise. It was so lush and green, the views were amazing. The cows nearby were lovely, the kids loved watching them. Bonnie the dog was very entertaining and extremely well behaved, great with kids. The facilities were really good and being a large group we really appreciated the extra toilet.

Amazing camping experience :)
The campsite is amazing, such a bliss waking up to the beautiful sight of the valleys & the sounds of the stream. Toilets & hot showers were easily accessible, & we enjoyed walking around the massive compound & going for a dip in the stream. Was greeted by the lovely Bonnie who was such a welcoming & entertaining companion throughout our stay :) Bob is a lovely host who accommodated for our large group of 20+, can’t thank you enough & would definitely recommend this place!

Relaxing perfection at Gardenfarm
Walden Cottage at Gardenfarm is simply fantastic. The cottage has all the facilities you need for a stay, comfortable beds and a hot shower! Gardenfarm is in a beautiful location and Bob (and Bonnie) couldn’t be a better host! This was our second visit, and we will definitely be back again.

Great getaway on a peaceful farm
Nice peaceful campsite on a quiet farm. Bonnie the dog will keep your kids busy throwing sticks. Yarram and Tarra bulga national Park in driving distance. An enjoyable getaway for kids who want to see a farm.

We had an amazing time at Bob's farm. The campsite was spacious, clean, firewood provided, beautiful walks and a very friendly host, Bob. The kids could play safely on the farm, there is even an old trampoline. Hot shower was a great bonus! We will definitely be back :)

A beautiful and peaceful location with a bubbling creek, rambling hills and trees for miles. Lots for the children to do and lots of places to explore. The nearby watering hole was a highlight too. It was a bit busier than we usually like with 5 or so extra families nearby but it was Easter. My only concern is that the toilet and shower was not cleaned over the four days. For $25pp/night and with 35+ people using the facilities it would've been nice.

So happy we stayed here :)
Absolutely amazing, better than we expected. It was idyllic. The camp area was lush and level, perfect for pitching a tent, there was lots of room and plenty of wood for the fire. The kids loved Bonny the dog and exploring the area, the babbling of the stream at night was relaxing. The location fantastic. Bob organised a reflexologist for some of us on the Saturday which was great. We were close enough to Woodside beach so went there on Sat arvo. On the Sunday we went to the nearby waterfalls and the icing on the cake was horse riding for the kids just up the road at Happy Healthy Horses, run by the amazing Anna. Bob was a terrific host and we'll definitely be back.
