Very beautiful farm and amazing scenery. Very close to castlemaine town aswell and local walks. Crystal has done a great job setting up the sites around and the shower and restroom amenities. Can't wait to be back!

Redbank156 Farm
Crystal is a great host and she makes a lot of effort inside out the farm. My mum and I went there for a short getaway from Melbourne and the trip was fantastic. We enjoyed the little hikes, morning woke up by birds and sheeps, amazed by the toilet and bathroom set up and loved the stargazing at night. Everything we could wish for on a camping trip, love it, thanks Crystal!

Crystal’s campsite was peaceful and beautiful. The dusk skies on the rolling hills and the starry nights sitting by the camp fire were bliss. We loved the sheep wandering past our campsite each evening and that all the camp sites were spread out from each other.

We absolutely loved camping at Redbank! The views was so stunning, it was so peaceful. Crystal was also so helpful and lovely! she let us have a fenced area so our dogs could roam free safely. She even brought us firewood on a really cold windy night. Having a flush toilet and hot showers was also a plus! Would definitely be back.

My 2 daughters, our dog and I had a great stay at Redbank Farm. The facilities are great and provide most of the home comforts which is very important to a 14 yr old.
Beds are really comfy, fire pit was a treat at night.
Crystal was really responsive and great to deal with. Highly recommend .

A spectacular place to stay. From lying in bed in the large tent watching the sheep and birds, cooking over the open fire, and enjoying the breeze while in the outdoor bath, we enjoyed every moment of it. Greeted warmly by the host on arrival. Adequate amenities provided for cooking and cleaning, and plenty of blankets to stay warm. Easy to buy firewood from the hosts - we let them know beforehand, and the firewood already at our campsite ready to use. We also really enjoyed the short hike up the hills to be greeted with amazing views. Would highly recommend, and hope we can come here again soon.

We had a great stay at Redbank156. We were a group of 9 with 5 tents and had an abundance of space on our site to spread ourselves around.
There were amazing landcape views from our every direction and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunset each night.
Crystal provided campfire wood ($30 per bundle) with an option to supply more with just message/phone call.
Very peaceful campsite. Highly recommend for any family or group of friends to stay.

We loved this place! Crystal was super friendly. Facilities great. Kids loved the playground & meeting Betsy the cow & Remy & their lamb siblings! Very handy to be able to hire a table & chairs, and the fire pit & shade cloth were great. Just the right distance from Melbourne (& easy to find). We’d return in a heartbeat.

Our Camping and Off-Road Group stayed at Redbank Farm, it was great - we had 9 vehicles and 13 people, there was plenty of room, and we had a portaloo nearby. We are pretty self-sufficient campers so it was perfect, in a quiet corner of the farm in a flat, green, clean paddock. Crystal was great and brough us firewood for purchase and there was a large dedicated firepit. Crystal was super clear with all communications and super friendly to boot! We will be back.

Redbank156 Farm
Had the most amazing 2 nights camping at Redbank156! Despite the chilly winter conditions, we had an absolute blast! Crystal ensured our site was stocked up with firewood ready for our camp-fire! Our German shepherd had the best time having a huge amount of fenced in secure space so that he could run around exploring!
Having access to the multi-purpose camp-fire kitchen was also really useful so that we could wash our dishes.
The scenery was so tranquil despite only being less than an hour from hour, it was a beautiful much needed break and we will definitely be back! Would highly recommend this site for small or large groups and families-there is so many fun play spaces available for kids!!!
Thanks again guys!!!

Second visit at Redbank! Crystal is great and goes above and beyond each time. We got to bottle feed 9 day old little lambs! The location is amazing and you feel completely alone. There’s a winery just down the road however was closed this time. We will need to come back for a third visit to try the wines! 🤣

Loved this place, Crystal gave us a lovely secluded spot but still close enough to get to the awesome facilities and playground for the kids (huge hit!). Definitely be back with friends 😊

I bloody love Redbank!! I've stayed twice now, and both times have been absolutely brilliant. Crystal is an absolute legend—so accommodating, responsive, and kind, which just makes the whole experience even better.
We were melting over the weekend with no marquee for shade, and Crystal swooped in like a lifesaver, bringing one down for us. Absolute hero move! The kids had a blast running around safely, and there’s so much space that you couldn’t possibly bother anyone, no matter how loud the music or drink chats got.
The dogs? Best. Time. Ever.
Highly recommend, and I’ll be back again and again!
