Amazing views

Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

Heaven on Earth. We must be the luckiest people alive to have somehow become the owners of this property which is only a short drive from the breathtaking Wilsons Promontory. The property has an abundance of temperate rainforest including massive gum trees, 6m tall tree ferns, permanent spring fed creeks, our own lake and more Australian wildlife than most zoos*. Living here, we feel like we're on holiday every day of the year. Camping sites are situated at the back of the property just a quick 5-minute walk from the car park. We'll transport your gear to your campsite so you can get set up quickly and start exploring the property or just kick back and relax. The three campsites are positioned so that you won't hear a sound from any other campers on the property. You will feel like you've got the whole place to yourself. And even though the campsites are isolated you'll still enjoy the convenience of clean regular flushing toilet facilities. But unlike any toilet you'll have used before, you'll get to enjoy a our unique loo with a view which is situated right amongst the rainforest looking out over the magestic tree ferns! Whether you intend to simply relax and listen to all the birdlife, grab a few drinks and head up to the viewing deck to watch the sunset, or put on your hiking boots and explore the rainforest, whatever you do, you will truly get back to nature. As one guest said, "I literally wanted to hug a tree". So what are you waiting for, come and hug one of our trees**. * comparison made with zoos that don't have many Australian animals ** please ensure you have the tree's consent first ;)Set amongst 40 acres of native temperate rainforest, if you feel like getting back to nature then this is for you. With no vehicle access to the campsites, the only thing you'll hear is the chorus of native birds that call our property home. We'll cart your gear to your site while you enjoy the 5-minute walk and start exploring amongst our 5 permanent creeks, our very own multi-level waterfalls, our picturesque lake, and vegetation like our 6 metre tall tree ferns and massive gum trees. While you're here expect to come across all kinds of wildlife, such as kangaroos, sugar gliders, wombats, wallabies, echidnas, native birds, even deer that roam the property, and if you're really lucky Trevor our resident koala will make an appearance - keep an eye out for him in the big Gumtree in our front yard as you arrive. If you would rather relax then simply grab a comfy chair and your favourite beverage and kick back amongst the trees and ever-present sounds of native birds while you take in the views. Regardless of whether your feeling active or lazy, we highly recommend that you book the viewing platform at the top of the "big hill" during your stay. On the night of your platform booking we'll deck it out with custom made cushions so all you'll need to do is grab a few drinks (or if your feeling fancy you can hire our portabar) and settle in as you enjoy the 360 views of the surrounding countryside and bushland in comfort and style. We promise you your jaw will drop as you watch the sunset over the hills in the distance! The sunset viewing platform is definitely an experience you won't forget in a hurry. IMPORTANT: These are walk-in only tent campsites, so not suitable for RV's, rooftop tents etc. They're situated at the back of the property, a 5-minute walk from the car park. We'll transport your gear to your campsite via quad bike and trailer. We're happy to accommodate two trips per booking to cart gear to the campsites which more than sufficient for almost all campers. Campers will will be charged $10 for any additional trips, so be mindful not to bring any redundant camping gear (note that the sites are not powered so 50" flat screen TVs are an example of redundant gear).

Perfect rustic getaway

Loved it! Chris’ place was in a lovely spot, in pretty wooded hills along a pretty drive. Chris was very obliging, providing some camp stove fuel when we ran out. We enjoyed being away from the car, which was parked 10 minutes walk away from the camp spot. Also nice to have neighbours nearby but out of sight and earshot. We also appreciated the flushing toilet. We’d have struggled driving the dirt road in our family sedan if it had been much wetter but we were lucky with the weather. The eggs were lovely and the portabar a great fun extra to order. We’d recommend it and would happily return.

Beautiful views. Each site had a shade sail installed which was all you needed for extra shelter in nice weather. Very peaceful camp site as you are not side-by-side with other campers. Very helpful and friendly host. Would reccommend to anyone looking for a peaceful relaxing stay.

Beautiful bush camping

Beautiful spot in largely natural bushland with lots of space to explore. Felt like we had it to ourselves - couldn’t even see the other two campsites from where we were. Chris and Kelly were perfect hosts, even giving us some extra food on the first night after we got caught out having forgotten everything would be closed on Good Friday.

Mountain Life Nature Stay

We arrived on fully loaded bicycles with our camping gear. it was quite a hike to the campsite but we had some gear carried out on the quad bike which was a big help. We were the only ones camping so had the site to ourself. Swim in the dam and a beautiful bush location. Bush toilet was even flushing! Great experience!

Overall, we had a good experience. Chris helped us carry our belongings to the campsite. The only minor concern was that the lawns could have been better if they were shorter.
