Our property, called 'Number 1', has been family owned for 5 generations and operates as a working cattle breeding farm. It backs onto the beautiful Pyrennes Ranges, and is surrounded by state forest on all sides. On the northern boundary we border the pristine Mt Sugarloaf Reservoir stocked with Redfin and home to some beautiful wildlife. We are in close proximity to some well known wineries of the region such Summerfields, Mt Avoca and The Pyrenees. Enjoy a quick day out to any of these wineries and it will be a day filled with delightful food and superb wine. If you'd rather enjoy the great outdoors, Number 1 will provide endless amounts of entertainment and fun outdoor activities. Make sure to say hello to all the resident cattle, goats, and horses during your stay!

Camping with dogs.
Rick and Julie’s places is heaven. A beautiful camp site that has it all… views, seclusion, water and welcoming hosts. My border collies loved the freedom of the farm and dams to swim in. The property borders a state forest which offers great day hikes.

This is our second visit to Rick and Julie’s Woodlands site and it was as good as the first trip. Arrival night was pretty wet but stayed dry and the remainder was clear skies. Plenty of wood to keep warm, Rick popped by to make sure we had enough and stayed for a beer. Enjoyed the backroads to some of our favourite wineries: Mount Avoca, Blue Pyrenees and a bit further away Taltarni. Boys 4WD’d to the top of Mount Sugarloaf and Mount Avoca. Looking forward to coming back.

Thanks Rick, loved the Woodlands site, solid ground to enter the site. Fire pit was great for the cold mornings and nights. The cows were well behaved, the bird life and wildlife around the water reservoir were a delight. Thanks for directing and meeting us on-site. Cheers Dave and Fran

We stayed in the Woodlands camp site over the long weekend. The location is perfect for exploring the Pyrenees vineyards or the bush behind the property. Fabulous property, great hosts.
