Welcome to Wildcroft Estate, a little piece of heaven nestled in the beautiful valley of the Yea Hills of Victoria. Where every moment feels like a slice of paradise. Our serene sanctuary offers an opportunity for profound inner rejuvenation, stirring dormant hearts awake. Spread across six hundred acres of pristine natural splendour, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the embrace of nature, camping beneath starlit skies and relishing the serene spectacle of sunrise and sunset. Venture into the wilderness to witness the dance of local wildlife in their native habitat, serenaded by the enchanting melodies of birdsong and the majestic call of stag deer roaring to a doe for mating. Our friendly equine companions are eager to share a carrot treat (under the careful supervision of our staff, of course). Wildcroft Estate is perfect for people who love hiking and anyone just looking for a getaway during the long weekends. You can escape here and catch sight of varied species of wildlife as the sun rises or sets. There are fire/grill pits on the campsites and man/woman toilets and showers. A rotonda for our guests as a communal area where you can enjoy a firepit while having a drink and a yarn. Dog-friendly dogs are allowed but on leashes. Horse riding, visitors who enjoy horseback riding are invited to explore the rolling hills and scenic trails of our property on their own horses. yards are available at an extra cost and a nice and early countryman breakfast can be arranged as well. Groups are welcome.

This is a secluded spot atop the hills of Wildcroft Estate, 508 meters above sea level, where an old shack stands, weathered by animals but brimming with character. The ambiance transports you to Italy's mountainous landscapes, with nothing but wildlife, trees, breathtaking views, and a night sky adorned with stars and the Milky Way. Accessible only by 4WD and with a tent for accommodation, this spot promises solitude, and a deep connection with nature. For those without a 4WD, we offer transportation to and from the location. It's ideal for seasoned campers who relish tranquility and seclusion. Remember to bring water, food, and other beverages, and an axe would be handy for gathering firewood from the surroundings, to be used only in designated fireplaces.

    Tent camped at Grace's land, Sept 2026.

    There's a small building with M&F showers and bathrooms, as well as bins for glass, recycling and garbage collection. Most people set up camp in the field adjacent to the bathroom blocks which is surrounded by a beautiful hillside. You can walk around the property and go up over the ridge for a nice view of the sunrise. The horses there are very friendly too! They do have cabins (double bed, charge points, drawers and complementary coffee & tea) for those less keen on sleeping in a tent. Definitely an easy camping experience!

    • Main campground. Amenities include: A few cabins, separate M&F toilet and showers, a large rotunda with BBQ, and rentable fire pits.

    Beautiful place to camp. Stayed for 3 nights and had an amazing time. The property is huge, green rolling hills, bushland, valleys and dams, with plenty of room to explore. Lots of opportunities to hike and even saw deer in the evenings. The scenery was fantastic. Anouk and the team were very welcoming. Definitely be back!
