Rolling hills of mountain pasture, backing on to the Yarra State Forest. Bushwalk along the little creek among tall trees and majestic tree ferns, or just sit in a deck chair and take in the exquisite views at the top of the hill. Multiple tracks head through the Yarra State Forest where you can wind your way along dirt roads through to Noojee, Powelltown, or Reefton, each of which have a cosy pub at the end of the drive. There are different campsite locations on the property, depending on if you would like isolation or convenience. We also offer excellent toilet and bathroom facilities which are now included with all bookings. Iron Brook Donkey Farm is located on rolling hills of mountain pasture, backing on to the Yarra State Forest.

The donkey farm is situated conveniently, halfway between the popular redwood forest, and the giant Ada tree walk. Just chill in your own time, or book an activity or a donkey ride. Donkeys can take riders up to 70kg We do allow pets, but this MUST be discussed with us prior to booking as we have strict rules around this. We also allow campfires only when fire restrictions aren't in place - which is often all summer. Children under 3 are free, but for insurance purposes, please mention them in the comments. This property has an overall capacity to ensure that our number of visitors remain low. This not only ensures that campers recieve the space and peace they look for in a campsite like this, but also so that we can ensure the bathrooms can be kept clean and not overloaded. This is also a part of our COVID safe plan. Due to this overall capacity it is important that you book for the number of people that you intend to have stay, as while we try to accomodate increases to booking numbers, they are not guaranteed unless booked. If we have met overall capacity then we may not be able to approve increases to booking numbers. This is for the comfort and safety of all our visitors. Thank you If you intend to purchase firewood or power or donkey rides or anything from the Donkey Shop during your stay, please bring cash to pay, and payments must be made up front, unfortunately, too often guests have been leaving without having paid for their rides or firewood.

Dolly's Rest (4WD only)
An experience you will not regret!
We had the best weekend at Dolly's Rest. It was quiet and very peaceful; our site was spaced out from the other and the other campers were not in sight. The facilities are a bit of a walk uphill but was a welcomed walk to get to see the sunset and sunrise at the top of the site. Linda was extremely welcoming and was happy to tell us all about the donkeys and goats on site and her very friendly dog Rusty. The facilities were clean and tidy and we will definitely be back. It is outside of the town so a car or bike would be needed.

Ruby's House
We had an amazing time at Ruby's house. We loved the views of the hills and watching the donkeys doing their. We were also lucky enough to have the rescue horse come up to us for a pat and say hi.

Linda is a gracious host, friendly but not intrusive. Views from our site were magnificent. Facilities are rustic but clean and adequate. Loved seeing and petting the donkeys. Easy trip to sites of interest.
