A beautiful, quiet, and peaceful spot! There was 6 of us in 3 groups, the paddock is quite hilly so if you've got a big group with tents it could be difficult finding flat spots but we managed! The toilet was a portable camping toilet which was great and had its own dedicated outhouse. The shack by the damn was a great addition and perfect for chilling out of the rain. There was even water provided which was great. Huge property to wander, and extra quiet with Sue's house being the only one near by. Sue was wonderful and she's done a great job building a fantastic hipcamp! Thanks Sue :)

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Whispering Gums. Peaceful surroundings and great views. Walking tracks nearby. The lake attracted bird life which was nice to watch and listen to. Sue is a great host. Provided us with lots of local information and ensured we had plenty of firewood.

Sue's place is always a joy to visit. It's peaceful and beautiful. We've been here a few times now and we never tire of it. It's so quaint how the cattle and the horse come to visit just before dusk. Our dog loves to explore the undergrowth and go for a swim. She's in her element. Sue's eggs and home made jam are worth buying by the way!!

I loved the privacy and quietness of Susan's property. A great place to sit by the the campfire and enjoy the serenity of the bush. A great property to bring your favourite outdoor games to play or simply relax and unwind. We loved our stay here. Thanks to Susan and Chris for sharing their happy haven

Such a great private camping spot on Sue and Chris’s property. We were a group of 9 adults, 2 kids and a dog, and it was perfect. Sue was a great host and made the extra effect to ensure we were comfortable and the kids were happy (even letting them sit on Amy the horse). Great communication too. Highly recommend.

We love staying at Whispering Gums. It's always lovely and peaceful. Just sitting by the beautiful lake is very calming. The two cows and the horse came for a sticky beak when we were having a fire. It was very cute. Sue is a fantastic host and communication is great. We highly recommend staying at Whispering Gums.

Susan and Chris were amazing hosts. Obviously we were worried when Susan had to leave with her horse due to the possibility of fire. We left early the next day because of it. We were a bit disappointed that there were no more fish in the dam but we did manage to catch a few yabbies. We would definitely recommend this property!

We had a wonderful time at Susan's campsite. The location is stunning and the campsite is very well equipped with an outdoor kitchen area, a fire pit, an outdoor table and benches and a hut with a table and chairs. The hut was perfect for playing cards while it was raining. Also the campsite is very private. We fell in love with the landscape: green rolling hills, gorgeous-looking cows, and pristine rainforest. Thank you Susan for sharing your beautiful property. And being able to bring our dog was a big +. We will be back. The toolshed at Noojie is a great spot to have dinner. ❤️🐮🦆

A beautiful and peaceful spot. Susan was a fantastic host, thoughtful, kind and responsive. I was even gifted some homemade chilli jam and eggs. I spent 2 nights here just cooking on the fire, watching the wildlife by the pond including a wide variety of bird life and a fox. The set up has everything you need- camp toilet, mud kitchen, table and chairs and even a hut to have shelter in the rain. Plenty of fallen kindling to be collected if needed. Will return to explore some of the walking tracks. So nice to be able to have a solo getaway and not have to share the campsite with anyone, but feel totally safe. Just a short drive into town. Highly recommend.

Great setup for a few days of peace and private relaxation. Firepit and facilities with a beautiful dam full of birds, yabbies and different moods and colours, depending on the time of day. Sue and Chris are fantastic and caring hosts, living on site and welcoming campers to share their wonderful little piece of paradise.

Whispering Gums is such a lovely campsite! Great facilities, there is a camp kitchen and hut in case you need to get out of the elements. Sue and Chris are amazing hosts and we were lucky to meet Sue's horse Amy (and Banjo and the 3 cows) Having the whole site to yourself makes it a wonderful experience and made it super easy for our dogs. Would highly recommend.

We had a great weekend away at Whispering Gums. Host Sue was lovely and really helpful - she came to our rescue when we had a camper trailer malfunction and made the stay fantastic. Great site, we loved morning coffee overlooking the dam, and the campfire and mud kitchen were useful. The portaloo was very handy and Sue was quick and efficient with the changeover when needed. It was lovely to meet Amy the horse and have a walk over the beautiful property to admire the cows and the view. Thanks for the enjoyable stay Sue, we hope to be back!

Host Sue, was extremely kind and generous. The love she has for her place shows. As a group of 3 families we felt very welcomed and had everything we needed. The addition of the toilet set up (and change overs) were greatly appreciated with kids in tow. We loved the back drop of rolling hills and the space for the dogs to run around. Highlight for the kids was definitely getting to see and ride Amy, the horse. Just magical.

Such a lovely campground; it's well maintained, the amenities are great and it was lovely to get away from the city lights and see the stars. It was a great first camp for our pup who loved the freedom of being off leash, exploring and watching the animals. Cannot thank Sue, Banjo and Chris enough for this great experience.

Our weekend at Whispering Gums was more perfect than we could have ever imagined. Surrounded by rolling green hills and a tranquil billabong, the campsite is utterly stunning, no matter which direction you set up. The hosts, Sue and Chris are so accomodating and eager to share their love for the property and surrounding areas with you. When they learnt that I am a horse girl that relocated to the city for work, Sue made an effort to bring her gorgeous stock horse, Amy, to say good morning and to give me a chance to have horse cuddles with my morning coffee - which absolutely made my whole trip ✨. We were all super excited to meet the very handsome Banjo (a very funny, curious Blue Heeler pup) and the three head of Lowline Angus cattle on the property. The set up is perfect and so deliberately thought out. The little hut (complete with a dining table, books, a list of local things to do and extra cooking equipment), outdoor kitchen (with access to 40l of potable water) and outhouse (with and incredibly clean portable camp toilets) makes the campsite a great choice for first-time and experienced campers alike. We couldn’t be more grateful for our mini escape to Whispering Gums, and are already looking forward to our next trip! Make sure to grab some of Chris and Sue’s chilli jam - it is absolutely incredible and an amazing souvenir to head home with to make your trip last just that little bit longer 🌶️💖

Sues property was absolutely incredible! We will 110% be back to camp there! Everything was well maintained, it felt like camping in the middle of no where with a touch of luxury, but only a stones throw away from the pub. Great fire pit, cabin/hut to use with table and chairs, pots and pans and other bits and bobs. Picnic table and sink was great and used a lot! And the toilet was great! Easy to use and far enough away to not feel too close to camp, but not too far to get too. Fire pit next to the lake was serene, the birds and wildlife came to life after 5pm. Sue was so lovely, brought us some firewood and made sure we had everything we needed and was very communicative. Absolutely loved it!
