Reddestone Creek
Excellent family or group getaway
Mal and Anne's place was fantastic, it exceeded our expections and was well looked after. On arrival Mal talked us through some campsites we could stay at and we picked the pelican hole. Lovely views, the toilets were clean and didn't smell and it even had running water to wash your hands. The campsite was very tidy and there was a big firepit to use. We collected firewood off the property and had a small fire each night. There is about 5km worth of 4wd track so we had a bit of an explore and went to the old sapphire mine for a swim in the shallower waters because we only have a one year old it was perfect. Plenty of animals to see we saw many many birds, deer, kangaroos and a big red belly black snake. We had our dog with us too and he loved it as well. The facilities near the homestead are clean and very well presented. We used the showers and toilets here on occasion. Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful property, we home to be back in the future but for a longer time next time 👍

Pelican Hole
Great off grid spot
Lovely property that was larger than we thought. Fun 4WD tracks, different creek spots to visit and fossicking was good fun. The composting toilet was perfectly placed and airy so was lovely and clean to use. Bore water taps on site which was handy for washing and filling up a splash pool for the kids. Water access was down a large bank and getting into the creek was a bit muddy and weedy. Also as it hadn’t rained in a while so it was a bit green. I’d recommend Mal install a pontoon of sorts for easy access.
Weather was so good for summer and cooled at night. Toilets and showers at the homestead about a ten min drive which was handy. All in all this was an excellent spot and our hosts were very accommodating.
Reddestone Creek
Nice camp site at “number 1”
On arrival we found out we were not going to be given the camp site we’d originally booked “reddestone creek” as it had been given to someone else. The new site “number 1” was still good, however further away from amenities. I was a little disappointed with the lack of explanation on fossicking for sapphires, as this was a big interest of mine and reason as to why I’d picked this property. Would have appreciated some instructions or guidance as to what to do and what to look for, particularly when this is listed in the description as an activity to do.
