Enjoy your own private bush escape, with an entire secluded 10-acre space exclusively for you and your approved guests. Located on our quiet, secure hobby farm close to Melbourne, this is a peaceful place to unwind under the gum trees, with no other camping bookings sharing your space. Your booking gives you exclusive use of the entire 10-acre camping space, with no other campers sharing the space. The price reflects that privacy—whether it’s just the two of you or a getaway with your approved family and friends. Bring your own camping setup, or make your stay a little more special by hiring our cute vintage boho caravan, which we can place onsite ready for your arrival. Caravan hire is optional and must be arranged when booking. It sleeps 2 guests, with the option to accommodate up to 4 using the annexe, and includes gas cooking, gas fridge and cold water. This is a rustic, off-grid getaway with a campfire area for use when conditions and fire restrictions permit. If you need power, you’ll need to bring your own generator. Spend your days exploring the walking tracks, watching local birdlife or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the Australian bush. We welcome carefully considered bookings from couples, families and small groups seeking a peaceful stay. All guests must be approved as part of your booking, so you can enjoy the privacy of having the whole camping site to yourselves.Wake to birdsong, watch for local wildlife and unwind beneath the gum trees. Our hobby farm is also home to horses, dogs and our friendly cows, Polly and Bert. The campsite includes a fire pit and free firewood, outdoor table and firewood for relaxed outdoor dining and cosy evenings by the fire, when conditions and fire restrictions permit. Dogs are welcome but must remain on a lead throughout your stay to protect our animals and local wildlife. Wet-weather access: 4WD is essential for every vehicle accessing this campsite when it’s wet.

Fantastic place to stay over the long weekend. It was peaceful and relaxing. The trees surrounding the site provided ample privacy from the neighboring camp site. Lots of ground wood available to pickup and use in the fire pit. Will definitely return to stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Kookaburra Estate. The perfect place for us to spend the long weekend. The kids had fun with plenty of space for ball games and so close to Gumbaya World for the perfect day trip. We had clear skies so we were able to use the telescope to see Saturn, and we got an incredible thunderstorm overnight one night too. We could see other campers in the distance but it was never an issue. Thanks for a great stay Leanne and Maurice! We look forward to staying again one day!

Quick Weekend Getaway

Camping at Ben's Place was just what we needed. A quick weekend break not to far away but far enough to be so relaxing. Next time we would BYO wood for the campfire as what we paid for was very disappointing.

Laughing with the kookaburras
6 m travel trailer
We loved Wombat Grove, Peaceful secluded area where we relaxed listening to all the birds. The kookaburras came to visit every morning and late afternoon. My wife and I are regular farm stay users, and this stay was only 16KM from us and we absolutely loved it. Thank you, Leanne, for your hospitality, we will be back.

Great location, Leanne was an incredible host, met us in arrival and showed us to our campsite. Stayed at the rocks, managed to see some kangaroos and horses which made the stay more special. Highly recommend for a trip that is not too far from Melbourne but feels as such.

We loved the camping, their block of land was beautifully kept. We sat in our chairs and saw 10 different birds and listened to the birds in the afternoon. The camp fire was superb and both Friday and Saturday night had a gorgeous fire. We purchased extra wood off Leanne.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kookaburra Estate Hobby Farm with our 2 doggies. We arrived later than expected and Leanne took the time to guide us to our site and made sure we parked up ok. The spot we were in was beautiful and peaceful with plenty of room to spread out. There were other campers staying in other spots but you wouldn’t know they were there unless you went for a walk around the property. We enjoyed a relaxing weekend away and will definitely return in the future with a bigger group of friends. Thank you Leanne for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful property!

The Big Dam campsite was beautiful, peaceful and private. There's an aqueduct walk on the edge of the campsite which is a lovely walk - you occasionally see a walker on the track going past the campsite but this didn't bother us. Excellent communication from Maurice and Leanne, with easy instructions to access the property. We will definitely be back! And Charlie the dog gave a warm welcome, such a beautiful dog. Thanks again for the lovely stay!

Lived up to its name!

Such a lovely and convenient campsite being not far from Melb. It definitely lived up to its name as we saw and heard many kookaburra’s during our short weekend getaway in our new hybrid van. Lots of beautiful and diverse bird life besides the kookaburras too. Very peaceful bush setting. We had a very relaxing time and would definitely visit again. Thanks Leanne and Maurice.
