We had a fabulous stay at Gayle's property! We loved meeting the cows and donkeys and my boys absolutely loved the go kart and 4 wheeler ride. Water available, nice flat paddock and a well maintained property, 2 minutes out of Winchelsea. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Gayle!

A nice big paddock and host, Gayle, was very kind and welcoming.
Would suggest better directions to find site and signage clear from the road.

We had a great time at Gayle’s farm, she was very welcoming and gave us a tour of the animals, the kids loved it. I would certainly recommend for a short stay near the great ocean road.

We enjoyed our stay at Gayle's! The highlight was meeting the animals and chatting with Gayle and her partner about their life and what it's like to be a farmer.

This place was wonderful. We had so much space to ourselves. Gayle was so wonderful showing us around her farm. The kids (and adults) loved the animals 😁.

I can't thank Gayle enough for her hospitality and such a wonderful stay on Tiny Winch Farm. It really felt like we were staying in an extension of her home, there was so much thought and love put into the gypsy van. Gayle was so kind to give us a tour of her farm and let us have a lot of time with the highland cows. A truly relaxing and meditative experience.

Gayle was lovely to deal with. We had an enjoyable stay for 2 nights. We liked the farm tour with the animals and if our little one was big enough the water slide, go kart and playground would have been a hit. You could slightly hear the train and highway noise but much better than rowdy groups at free camps. Water onsite was handy. Close by to the Great Ocean Road without the crowds. Perfect spot before our trip on the Spirit of Tassie. We’ll be back!

We all loved this place. Plenty of room for everything. The cows and donkeys are very friendly. We could not fault Gayle’s hospitality, she went out of her was to make sure we had very memorable time. We will definitely be back.

Tiny Winch Farm was the perfect spot for our first getaway with an 18-month old. Communication before the trip was great, the set up (access into property, location of camp, lots of space to other campers and an evening tour to meet the animals) was perfect for us.
The additional bonuses (recently installed camping toilet, water taps for each site and a water slip n’ slide for the hot weather) made us feel really welcome and looked after.
Highly recommend this spot for a low-key but comfortable getaway.

Gayle is a star. Her property is flat and well kept - great for laying down a tent! Gayle took us for a tour around her cows and donkeys - it was a beautiful experience and very generous. Would stay at Gayle's place again.

Gayle was really lovely and welcoming on arrival. She gave a tour and a rundown of everything.
We also got a tour of the farm animals! We went inside with the donkeys and cows which was very fun. I Would recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing wholesome experience 🤗

Lovely farm stay, can be a bit warm and not a huge about of shade. Lots of room and water on tap.
All the animals are a big hit and spent the arvo walking around with the lovely host getting the tour and story of all the animals

Spacious, flat camp site with town water connection available if needed. Good communication from Gayle, including meeting us on arrival.

We loved it here . So much space and my daughter loved getting up and close with all the animals . Convenient being 5 mins from town but far enough away to get the real country farm feel. Gayle was a great host and made us feel very welcome. Slight hum of traffic being close to highway but no impact on our sleep at all

We loved camping here and would come again in the future. Gayle has a great property close to Geelong and the great ocean road but quiet enough you can enjoy the seclusion.

We had a great time staying in the Top paddock. Gayle was a great host and extremely helpful. The kids loved going in the go kart and getting on the back of the Gayles quad bike. It was such a great experience learning about all the animals there. We will definitely be back!!

My partner and I wanted a little getaway to escape the city….and this spot DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Gayle was so accomodating - she educated us on the farm operations and even let us get up close and personal with the animals.
When we woke up she had driven the go kart for us to use for the day! I cannot recommend enough!

Simple and safe place to camp for the night. Great service from the host who met us at the gate and guided us to our site.

Gayle is the ultimate host. She greeted us on arrival and took us down to our paddock, where we were able to choose our spot. We had so much space and the area was totally private. Gayle took me around the farm the following day and I fed the donkeys, sat with the Highland cattle, held baby chicks, toured her tiny home projects and took a spin on the electric go kart. Gayle is so knowledgeable about her beautiful animals and this is truly an experience I will remember for a very long time. Highly recommended for animal lovers and families with children would absolutely adore this place. Highly recommended.

Had a fantastic long weekend at the farm. Gayle was an amazing host greeting us on arrival and providing us with an itinerery of the animal meet and greet activities on for the weekend and showing us around the farm.
The camping areas are very spacious giving you your own area so you're not crammed in.
There was a bonfire night that had everyone gathered around enjoying each others company.
The farm is in a great location minutes from town and within a 30 min drive to the Great Ocean Road
Had the best weekend and can't wait to visit again soon.

Gorgeous farm stay. Had the best time at Tiny Winch Farm
Gayle has got to be the best hostess, showing us the farm and all the animals from highland cows ( my personal favorite ) to donkeys and chickens plus more, and telling us stories. Also had a bonfire which was great on a chilly night and really got everyone around and chatting.
We have a 2 yr old and he absolutely loved the chickens and riding in a go cart and slept so well from playing hard.
Would definitely recommend and we'll be back soon for sure.

Ample space made us feel we had the place to ourselves. Our kids enjoyed the whole farm, from kicking the footy to engaging with the farm animals.
Gayle made us feel so welcomed and she worked hard to ensure our stay was memorable.
We highly recommend!

Gayle was great, and provided some nice farm activities for young and old.
The property is on the main Hwy so it’s easy to find but there was a little bit of traffic noise. There is also a train line at the back of the property so you get a couple of trains during the day (didn’t notice any at night)
This wasn't a deal breaker but good to be aware. The space was large and we were well spread from other guests.
It was a long weekend, so a bit busy but Gayle made sure everyone had what they needed and it wasn’t over crowded.
Loved the cows and cheeky donkeys.
