The pod is perfect for people who want the camping experience but like a bit of luxury. It can be booked for 2 people and is located on the edge of the vineyard. The pod has a queen sized bed, heating and a view to the vineyard from your bed.

Guest access:
The family home and sheds on the property are private. As is the Railway Bed and Breakfast located on the other side of the family home.
There are tracks around the property as well as through the adjacent Westgate Reserve for you to walk which still has remnants of Chinese gold mining. We ask that guests do not walk through the vineyard due to the spread of pests and disease. There is access to a paddock at the top of the hill where we have a ‘Sunset Seat’ located to view the sunset over the Grampians. The Grampians are a 40 minute drive away where you will be spoilt for choice for walks and swimming holes.
Because of the location being so close to the vineyard there may be some vineyard work or machinery that may go past your accommodation. We will plan not to do this during your stay, or keep to a minimum if essential.
There is a Cellar Door near the house that is open by appointment. Wine and preserves are available to purchase directly from the owners. Wine tasting is included in your booking fee for those interested.
Interaction with guests:
Andrew and Katrina live in the family home on the property and can be contacted by phone if needed. Someone will try to be here to greet you where possible. Hosts Andrew and Katrina are happy to answer questions about the local area, activities, events, wines and foodie havens. .
Other things to note:
- We have a friendly border collie dog named Milo and a cat named Patty that may come to say hello. Please do not feed our pets anything.
- There are unfenced dams on the property.
- The facilities are rustic and while cleaned can get some dust and the occasional bug due to its location.
- Guests must agree to comply with vineyard biosecurity guidelines to avoid the spread of pests and disease, this includes not being able to walk through the vines
- There is limited phone reception (1-2 bars) and no WiFi – WiFi is available in the Cellar Door.
- Food options including light meals and shared platters are available to guests who feel like a night off cooking. See the photos for more information.

I cannot recommend this camp enough! We had the most amazing stay with the added bonus of a roof over our head to watch the footy by the fire. Hi can highly recommend the delicious home cooked meal delivered to your door! Thanks again Katrina!!
From the time we arrived to the time we left, all of us had smiles on our faces.
Katrina and Andrew were fantastic hosts, a great Good Friday arvo tasting wines and sharing a platter was time well spent.
The greeting you get from Milo is worth the visit, but to get one everyday is something the kids have not stopped talking about.
Great wines, great camping spot with a place for shelter from the rain, great hosts and a great Easter weekend.
Will be telling more of our friends about this super place.
10 stars
Such an amazing location & experience.
Katrina & Andrew we’re both amazing hosts and we’ll be definitely booking again!
We camped out right next to the vineyards & had this amazing area all to ourselves.
The wine taste testing was such a fun experience…all the wine was amazing…we ended up buying a variety of different types :)
We also had a platter delivered to us, which is definitely a must! Such a good selection of foods, cheeses and desserts.
Also the site was really well equipped…the hosts provide you with a sheltered area, fridge, fire pit, bbq and so much more!
Honestly, a 10/10 experience.
Katrina & Andrew provided an amazing retreat set amongst the rolling hills of Armstrong & Great Western.
The facilities were effectively a self contained unit minus the bedroom with all of the creature comforts not contained in our camper van.
The added bonus was having your own personalised wine tasting and enjoying some great whites & reds.
While the property is a working vineyard we had complete privacy and access to a very special bench overlooking the Grampians with many spectacular sunsets
Thank you Andrew for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to meet you both and we hope to see you our way again one day in the future.
Camping at Miners Ridge Vineyard Campsite was great! It was first experience camping.
We don't have enough gears to stay at bush. That's why we chose here. It was very quiet and peaceful, toilet and shower room were very clean and well managed. Also Katrina was very friendly and lovely.
Lots of different wild life and vineyards. I would highly recommend it to other campers or families.
We will definitely comeback to stay again.
Fantastic Hosts and a great spot. Nestled amongst the vineyard in a private camp place with the added bonus of shower and toilet combined with availability of a lounge and dining area.
Enjoyed the wine tasting on site and chatting with Katrina and Andrew.
Fully relaxed after a couple of days involving no more than chilling over a book, bike riding and visiting local wineries.
will visit again.
Thanks for your lovely review, you were lovely guests to hosts, glad you enjoyed your time here and in the area.
We loved Katrina's vineyard. It's beautiful, quiet and with heaps of amenities. More importantly, Katrina is such a lovely, helpful and easy to communicate host. We will definately come back. BTW Milo, Katrina's border collie was being kind and welcoming to us too. My dog and him obviously turned into a pack eventually.
We loved our stay at Miners Ridge! Katrina was very friendly, and very knowledgeable about the local area. The sunset spot was stunning. The camp kitchen set up was very well stocked with pans and cutlery. We'll definitely be recommending Miners Ridge to anyone and everyone who will listen!
Thank you for your lovely review, glad you enjoyed your stay at Miners Ridge.
What a great place. Picturesque and peaceful. Hosts Katrina and Andrew lovely and friendly and also produce some delicious wine. Would definitely come back
Thanks Jodie, We would love to see you back one day.
