Jetty Jumping Fun

We recently returned to Nowa Nowa, and not even the rain could dampen our spirits! There was plenty to keep everyone entertained — from jumping off the jetty and stand-up paddle boarding to bird watching and tackling the BMX track. The kids (and the kids at heart) had an absolute blast. It’s a fantastic spot for families, and we love that our fur babies were welcome too. A great place to relax, explore, and make lasting memories!

The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The position is quiet and plenty of room. Close to the river and enjoyed the early morning kayaking and bike rides on equipment on hand. Close enough to town to walk and benefit from facilities but close enough away to have privacy and peace. The bird life was amazing as well.

We were a group of 6 camping together and we had a wonderful time. It was private and exclusive. We dealt with Mike’s wife and she was very kind and friendly. Lots of activity opportunities and Mike got canoe and bikes available. We will definitely come again for a relaxing break.

What a gem of a host Mike is! I rolled up in my 6-meter campervan, and his land welcomed me like an old friend—no fuss, just easy access If you’re itching for adventure, Mike’s got you covered with bikes and canoes ready to roll and those who prefer walking, well, there's plenty of walking tracks. The area is very enchanting and when night falls, those firepits spark up a cozy, soul-warming ambience. Loved it!

I enjoyed solo camping on Mike's property with my dog. We had access to the lake just across the road for kayaking and fishing. There are walks close by and a fire pit for a good fire. The site was flat and easy to access. It was a nice, relaxing time.

Mike was an absolute delight! We spent a night parked here and had a great time exploring the town on the bikes provided the next morning. We even went for a morning kayak on the river, which was super fun. While there was a bit of traffic noise from the main road at night, overall it was a lovely stay. We also enjoyed some delicious grapefruits and mandarins—so sweet of the hosts.

We had a great couple of days camping at Mike’s property in Nowa Nowa. Mike’s friendly and helpful and communicated well. The ground is reasonably flat and has nice views over a wetland on the property. Short walk or drive to the local pub -open Thurs to Sun-, general store and public toilets. Lake arm is next to property too. You can borrow bikes or kayaks to explore the area. We visited to see some live music put on by the friendly townsfolk as part of Nowa Nowa Live. Great place to stay for that! Thanks Mike!

We absolutely loved our stay in Nowa Nowa. Such a cute little hidden gem this small town & such a good spot for camping with it being a simple town but having all that you need & having the river too. I haven’t been camping in years & absolutely loved it (didn’t want to leave & the 3 nights went way too quickly!) We had lots of rain the first half unfortunately (not in anyone’s control) but when the weather cleared up for us & the sun was out it was so wholesome & peaceful there. The tennis courts next door & the kayaks were a massive bonus for us! Nice bush walks nearby too. The pub which is a 5 min walk from the campsite did an amazing chicken schnitzel! Mike & his partner (owners of the property) were both so welcoming, accommodating & friendly to us & made us feel very comfortable there. We also got lucky as we came at an off peak time & got all 3 sites to ourselves for most of the trip! We definitely want to come back! Thank you so much for our stay.

We enjoyed our one night stay on the property. Communication was great and we were met upon arrival by Trudi and chatted a little about the area. The ground was flat for our van with water views and a fire pit was there which we didn’t use for our stay. We managed to catch a fish in the river. There is a park and bmx track nearby outside the property. The general store has lots of different items and looked well stocked and within walking distance as well as a cafe. Thanks for sharing your lovely property.

What a peaceful farm stay right next to the river. It was such a lovely welcome to receive complimentary fresh fruit & salad. The addition of a fire pit meant we didn’t need to get ours out and having a gate for easy access to the river from the sites was ideal. Mike was so lovely and gave us the recommendation to check out the Trestle Bridge which we loved. We’ll be back for sure!

We love camping here, we love being off grid, the bonus here, is there is drinking water available to use. Mike and Trudy are great hosts and love the location with the water just across the road for kayaking. Also East Gippsland rail trail runs through Nowa Nowa. Just recently opened is a pub/glamping caravan park called Mingling waters, which is a licensed venue meals and drinks and is in walking distance to this property.

The campsite is well set up, with access to fire pits, portable water and we loved being able to borrow kayaks to explore the river.

We loved this place. Only wish we had a few more days there. Mike was such a a great host making us feel at home, bringing us fruit and veg, letting us use the kayaks, and giving some great tips on the area. The lake was great for kids in the kayaks, and the BMX track was a highlight for our son. The river behind us was so beautiful, particularly the bird life. We ran out of time to have a fish, but we saw them jumping out of the water. Buchan caves were only a half an hour drive away, and the Mountain bike tracks were minutes away. We will definitely be back, for longer next time. There is so much to do here. Thanks Mike, we loved our stay.
