We have 20 acres of lush river flats adjoining the pristine Brodribb River in the Goongerah Valley. Due to the pristine, clean water straight off the surrounding mountains and the rich fertile river flats, early settlers used this place as a market garden to supply fruit and vegetables to the local townsfolk. After our purchase in 2000, we turned it into a self-sufficient paradise, always welcoming visitors to come and enjoy the land with us. Our BYO campsites are near the river where you can reconnect with nature amongst the tall trees. Kanukadale is a working Nature Retreat Sanctuary, so additional to BYO campsites, we also offer our Bell Tents when the retreats are not running. Here at Kanukadale, you will share the space with very friendly horses, ponies, miniature goats and our donkey. The property is child friendly as the boundary, river and paddocks are well fenced. You can do as much or as little as you want during your stay. Be sure to check out our awesome animal focussed activities that we offer here. You can find them under Experiences. You are welcome to bring your own horses and dogs. Dogs must stay on a lead whilst on the property and responsible pet ownership is essential here, as is a respectful attitude towards all the other sentient beings on the property. We do not allow generators here. There is lots to do in the area with heaps of nature immersion. East Gippsland is one of the most bio-diverse areas on mainland Australia. You can explore rare, Old Growth forest, historic gold mines, climb to the peak of Mt Ellery and walk through the Errinundra Plateau. Mountain bike riding, horseriding, 4wd touring and bushwalking is awesome in this area. There is a camp kitchen with a communal fridge, microwave, stove and electricity. There is also a composting toilet and hot shower facilities. There is free wifi. THERE ARE NO SHOPS OR FUEL OR MOBILE RECEPTION. WIFI CALLING WORKS IF YOU HAVE THAT OPTION. THE CLOSEST TOWN IS 50 KM TO DELEGATE OR 70KM TO ORBOST. YOU NEED TO COME COMPLETELY PREPARED OR IT’S A LONG DRIVE TO TOWN. THERE IS A PUBLIC PHONE BOX UP THE ROAD.

Calistamon Corner Glamping
The glamping experience was amazing; the tent was very clean and well-designed with a comfy bed and nice linens. Additionally, the environment was clean tidy and peaceful. There was a fantastic toilet and shower.

Luxury Glamping by the river
We had an incredible time here with our two little kids and dog. The farm is beautiful, Tama is very generous, knowledgeable and an absolute joy and the surroundings are stunning. We loved spending time at the river, and stayed 4 days to really make the most of our time. Would absolutely recommend!

Possums Nest Glamping
We loved our experience at Tama's Farm stay. Tama provided clear directions on how to get there in advance. The Glamp tent was amazing and we really appreciate how beautiful and neat all the facilities are. Wifi was the cherry on top, a lifesaver when we try to find our way to the next destination! We arrived quite late and had to leave early so didn't get a chance to explore the area and say hi to the animals, but would love to next time around :)
