** KIDS UNDER 12 ARE FREE - Do not add them to your booking but please send me a message so I'm aware of how many people are coming.
Levi, Chilli and myself have lived here for 15 years raising Tbones. We average 80 head of steers and fatten them for 18months, season dependant. We bred Santa’s for a couple years, and then decided steers were the go. Less work ;). There is no cattle on our property at the moment, but we are surrounded by them.
Nat will send you an email with maps, directions, rules, attractions & Cuisine in the area, other accommodation in the area and general information 3 days before your arrival. An SMS will be sent to your mobile number with directions to your spot also. Please share this information within your group.
To comply with council, you have 2 "sites" to choose from...
Site One is down the front of our property near the creek (This site is 65 acres). I will suggest a spot when I receive your request, or if you've been here before, let me know where you'd prefer and I'll try to accomodate.
Site Two is up the back of the property (This site is 25 acres). Same deal goes.
So in saying that, for COVID purposes and keeping everyone at a distance, I have listed two Sites on HipCamp, as per council regulations. You have the option of requesting either the "Mount Kilcoy Creek Camp - Site One" (near the creek) or "Mount Kilcoy Creek camp - Site Two (18+ Bush Camp)".
We have around 17 horses on the property. They range from miniatures up. Chilli (15), my daughter, competes at barrel racing events. Her love for horses is admirable. About 10 of them are retired/rescue/unwanted horses that just enjoy their last days chewing grass. Some of them are 30+ years old and quite frail.
You may see Levi (17) around on his motorbike cutting laps here and there. He enjoys bikes and competes in MotorCross events. So you can see I have my hands pretty full with their itineraries over the years. Lol
Our 400+ acre property is our paradise. We bought this place in 2003 and eventually built 2 residences. One is a caretakers cottage (Green House) which Kev has lived in for 12 years+ and the other is the White House on the hill, which is our family home. Family and friends have enjoyed sharing this cool property with us over the years. I promised I would open a few campsites to allow others to experience it also.
Hipcamp has given us the gateway to be able to invite people to stay. Booking through them is the only way you’ll be able to book in a site. We have kept the prices low to accommodate for families.
Why am I doing this? Creating a clear path for struggling farmers to generate some income from hosting campers, generate income for our small businesses in Kilcoy with tourists, diversifying options for my fellow avid campers, and also mental awareness during this recession and COVID times.
Feel free to explore the creek. There is about 400 metres from the bridge down to the fence that runs across the creek. The pink tape indicates this is our boundary. Please don’t go past this point. Our awesome neighbours, Brian and Judy, enjoy their solitude.
We also have 2 dogs. Boss (Boston terrier) and Shelia (Bluedog).
We are very open to hearing your thoughts and ideas on how we can improve our little venture. This is all very new to us and our main objective is to give other families the opportunity to experience our piece of paradise. Relax, unwind by a fire and enjoy some quiet time away in the country.
We hope you enjoy your stay at the Lowndes Zoo, and if you need to contact us, please do.
Nat, Levi and Chill... 😋😋😋
