Kangaroo, deer, echidna and wombats are seen roaming daily. We grow our own fruit and veggies, make preserves and also have bee hives. We are opening our farm up to share our country lifestyle.

The most luxurious 'camping' ever!

With kids

We had a ball at Jo's hipcamp. It is such a unique and well set up camp, with so many extras provided, it was the easiest camping trip ever. We went with young kids (aged 2 - 8) and there were so many activities for them to do, from tennis, to feeding the animals, to swimming. The kids (and adults) loved the slippery slide, and watching the kids kayak in the evening whilst we sat by the fire pit in the evening was a highlight. I would 100% recommend and we'd love to come back.

The most incredible place

Group trip

Springview farm exceeded our expectations in every single way possible. The photos don’t do this spot justice - the privacy, the comfort, the small touches, it’s everything you could want for a weekend away. Jo went above and beyond to help us with things we were organising for our hens. We LOVED the dam and the slip n slide. The camp kitchen had everything we needed and the glamping setup was unbelievably cosy and comfy. We will be back without a doubt

Stayed there with my wife and kids over new years. It was brilliant, great set up, water slide was awesome and my 5 year old learnt to kayak! Jo was great, entertained the kids with feeding the animals and checking in. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. We’ll be back 100%!

Ultimate Glamping Spot!

With kids

Our stay with Jo on her beautiful farm far exceeded our expectations! Jo was very welcoming and the property was stunning. The giant slip and slide into the dam was a hit with the kids both young and old. The animal feeding was also a highlight with her mini cows, horses, sheep and goats all very friendly. Excellent facilities with lots of fun farm house style decor setting the tone for a beautiful escape from suburbia. We had the most wonderful time and would definitely visit again. Thank you Jo for having us!

The Best Glamping Experience!

We had an incredible glamping experience over the weekend! The host, Jo was absolutely fantastic, ensuring our stay was nothing short of amazing. The tents were exceptionally comfortable, providing a cozy retreat amidst nature. The highlight was undoubtedly the lake, kayaking, and exhilarating water slides - pure fun for the whole family! Our kids had the time of their lives, especially enjoying feeding the farm animals and the delightful pony ride. Overall, it was an unforgettable weekend filled with adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a memorable getaway!

Best weekend away ever! Jo went above and beyond throughout the entire booking process and during our stay. I cannot recommend Jo’s beautiful farm more highly. Spacious glamping tents, warm fires, beautiful fairy lights, gorgeous farm animals, hilarious slip and slide and a friendly face to help us out with any request, was just the perfect way to celebrate a hens weekend.

Beautiful property with very accommodating owners who show a lot of love and diligence to their farm. Farm tour/feeding the animals was a lovely experience. The cows being my favourite stop. Glamping with all of the bells and whistles.

The place is amazing. Jo has everything setup for the full glamping experience. The flushing toilet and hot shower really does add the touch of comfort to camping. The shelter and firepit has all you need for cooking and relaxing over the dam. Which was so much fun to slip'n'slide into. That was the biggest highlight. You are nicely se luded in a valley so you feel closed off from the world. We were also given free reign to roam the property. We will be back.

Love and passion.

With kids

This is the second year we have stayed at Springview for the weekend of my birthday and have absolutely loved it. Jo went up and beyond including us into her daily routines feeding the animals, sharing some of her stories and experiences. It’s not hard to see jo has built this beautiful place from the love and passion she has for what she does and has worked so hard to give others the same experience she lives every day.

Beautiful trip away! Highly recommend!! Had never been any sort of camping before and this was so easy from booking process to our stay. Jo and springview farm exceeded our expectations! Has everything you need, we over packed. We all had such a relaxing stay. The tents are gorgeous and all the facilities are clean. Do yourself a favour and order a cheese platter it was delicious with home baked goods. And we got to feed the animals. We look forward to staying again. Thanks again Jo

Slice of paradise!

This was the most delightful couple of days away for our family. The tent was incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was well set up and the kids had a ball in the dam. This is a little slice of paradise, without the long distance travel. Jo is lovely and easy going. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

We really enjoyed our stay. The tent was very comfortable and Jo was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible with lovely little thoughtful items in the tent for the kids. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the slide, kayaks and swimming in the lake everyday as well as feeding the animals on the farm. A great spot to unwind and get back to nature and very private. We highly recommend it!

Jo was a fabulous host. This is a sensational property with excellent facilities. The tents are immaculate and the cattleman’s shelter has everything you need for your stay. The bathroom with a piping hot shower is totally Insta - worthy. Make sure you give the water slide a go.

Beautiful Farm Getaway

Group trip

We stayed at Srongview Farm for 3 nights just recently. I would highly recommend it. The host Jo is so warm and welcoming and my kids, 11 and 16 had a great time. The photos don’t do it justice- the camp kitchen is terrific with everything including a cafe heater . It is so picturesque at night with all the fairy solar powered lights and there is plenty to do during the day around the area and on the farm. Would highly recommend a stay here. Liz Casey

Amazing weekend away

Group trip

Amazing place, Jo went out of her way to make it a magical experience including arranging an Easter bunny delivery for our boys! The facilities are all top class, everything super clean and every thing you could need was provided. The site itself is brilliant, feels like you are miles out of the city but without the long drive. Our kids absolutely loved the fishing and the slide and the farm tour with Jo was a wonderful experience for them. The food provided with the meals was great (wish we got the grazing platter now!). Loved our stay and hope to be back again!

What a great experience on the farm

Group trip

We had the most amazing time glamping at Springview Farm. Jo, our host had thought of everything we might need for our stay to make it comfortable and to make it a special experience. Our kids loved the farm, it was great to get them away from technology for a bit to experience something new and connect as a family, playing games and doing things together. We all want to go again and will make it a tradition. The food was delicious, we were so well catered for! Thank you Jo, we will see you again.
