YELLOW FLATS

Really beautiful, quiet little spot. Loo with a view is accurate. Sharing the paddock with some sheep and really private, expansive space. John was a really friendly host.

John is an amazing host. Went above and beyond to ensure I was enjoyable my stay. The camping area was tidy, good flat ground and lots of firewood available. Was quiet, private and a relaxing place. Close to Daylesford if you needed supplies. Highly recommended and will be back.

Great spot to camp, John was an amazing host, very friendly! Plenty of firewood and great view. Our daughter loved feeding the rams, will be back for sure. Our 13ft off road caravan made it in and out easily but wouldnt try to take anything bigger.

Mt Franklin vista ⛰️🌄

10 m travel trailer ·

The property feels wonderfully isolated, yet you’re only about 20 minutes from Daylesford. As there were five family members camping, I booked the site with its own toilet — and what a bonus that turned out to be! The view from the loo was absolutely stunning, overlooking Mt Franklin. 🚽😂 John’s mob of sheep paid us a courtesy visit, but they were definitely not a problem. In fact, they added to the whole experience. Basically, you’re paying for the use of a private paddock, a toilet and a spectacular view of Mt Franklin. Just be aware that this particular site is quite exposed to windy weather. The upside is that there are no overhanging trees to worry about. There was also plenty of timber available, so we had a lovely campfire every night. John went out of his way to make our group feel welcome. He even organised a special feeding of his sheep so our smallest family member, just 17 months old, could watch the whole mob being fed. It was a wonderful touch and something our little one absolutely loved. A beautiful, simple camping experience in a great location — and one we’d happily do again.

Great little spot

9 m pop-up camper · With pets ·

Really enjoyed our time staying here two nights. In the bush but not too far from towns for anything needed, plenty in the area to explore. Far enough from the other campers on the property to have a good feeling of space and privacy. As the listing says, 4WD definitely recommend especially if it's wet, there are some good tracks in the area for a bit of off-roading fun too. If meeting others there, be aware that reception is limited. On Telstra, we occasionally had 1 bar - just enough for messages to send and receive every now and then. John was at the site to welcome us, give some info on the area and answer any questions. **TIP: Not sure if it's a Hipcamp or Google Maps problem, but the 'Directions' button took us to a different address on Sawpit Gully Rd rather than Sawpit Track - Take an extra moment to thoroughly read the listing and any info from John to get there without any hassles. John's already looking into this with Hipcamp so it might be fixed. Thanks again John for a great stay.

We had such a peaceful stay at John’s farm. John was so helpful, and he made sure we were happy with the spot and got our fire set up for us to kick back and enjoy our stay. The sheep were a hit, and we will definitely be back in the future.

What a great place to visit, John is as friendly as can be and very accommodating. Daylesford and Hepburn springs are just around the corner and there is plenty to explore on foot nearby. We will be coming back that’s for sure.

Lovely stay with lots of space

We absolutely loved our stay here, John was super hospitable and friendly, and checked in on us throughout the stay to make sure everything was ok. The property was gorgeous, lovely hills and trees and backing into a forest, we saw kangaroos and wallabies hop through, and there were rams in the paddock who were friendly but kept their distance. I would come back in a heartbeat, a truely lovely stay.

John was not just someone who let you use a part of his property but a good host who checks in with you and helps you enjoy the time there. He offered to show us around his farm and we felt we were genuinely welcome.

We enjoyed our time at Yellow Flats. John was friendly and hospitable showing us around his farm, letting us feed his sheep, and taking us to old mines. We learnt a lot about sheep farming and the local mining history. Thank you, John!

Yellow Flats was a great place to stay. My family and I loved our time there and wished we could longer. The location is great, close proximity to surrounding attractions but remote enough to feel in the middle of nowhere. John was great. He met us on site and gave us the rundown, kept in touch during our stay but was happy to leave us to enjoy the privacy and space we had all to ourselves. Would definitely go back!
