House (top floor and bedrooms)
Toolangi Heights Hideaway
I wanted a quiet getaway with lots to keep us occupied and the must was for it to have a pool! I searched high and low for said hideaway adventure and was almost going to settle on some beach side boring stay with other families noise cutting into our peace and quiet, and then I found Brendan's beautiful escape from the world. Nestled approximately 1 hour and a half or so away from busy Melbourne we ventured into the hills outside of Healsville on the road to Yea. Up a steep hill we climbed in the car after a perfect drive through wine country and there sat this beautiful house with lovely bright interior and all the modern touches to keep all happy. The movie room meant nights were sorted watching what ever genre of film we wished. The small well set out kitchen meant all food required was kept cool and the air fryer microwave kettle toaster and two hotplates were kept busy with our group at night and for breakfasts. The grounds were 60 acres and some great walking trails were hidden away, a spring and a lovely view of the city. The best however was the natural pool area that housed a bar, BBQ, beautiful rock spa, and that pool we so required. You can either sit on the deck edge and slide into the 2.5 metre deep pond or walk in like myself and enjoy the shared pool with fish I had the pleasure of naming. Brendan and his friendly coworker were extremely helpful and they helped when ever required. I have MS so is perfect for the mobility challenged too. Well worth the booking.

Brendan has done a fantastic job of creating spaces within the natural bush setting, that accommodates a variety of camping styles, and group sizes. Not all sites are as secluded as others, but all have amazing outlooks of the surrounding forest, and mountains. Brendan’s property has excellent amenities, including toilets and shower, and the swimming area is brilliant. A huge amount of thought and care has gone into creating a perfect balance of bush camping, with some creature comforts. Brendan is also a great host, with clear and timely instructions, and a pleasure to speak with when he visits the camping areas to make sure everyone is doing well.

Not good enough
Great scenic location, good property, but overall not good enough. For the money, a lot more should be provided. No gas for BBQ. No hot water at the kitchen. Toilet and amenity block is ok, but there is only one male shower for over 20 people if fully booked, which is insufficient. It’s also pretty dirty. Pool is good fun, obviously has had a lot of work go in to setting it up, spa didn't work though. The main, alarming red flag issue was the Neighbours feud occurring during our stay. A couple, about 100m from our tent (on the neighbouring land) were mowing, whipper snipping and chain sawing, on purpose, as an act of spite to the owner of the Hipcamp land. They did it Thursday night (5-9pm), Friday morning (8-9am), Friday (11.30am-12.30pm), Friday night (6-9.30pm), and Saturday morning (8-9am). The owner is aware that there is a chance of this occurring, and still chose to charge full price for everyone to stay there, and made no mention of it on the Hipcamp page. It’s unreasonable for innocent consumers to be caught up, and brought into without realising, a neighbourhood feud which could have turned sour if anyone were to get aggressive. Some campers were yelling and provoking at the couple on the second night, and she was yelling back that she would be back first thing in the morning. Overall, not pleasant at all, and were disappointed that the owner wouldn’t take charge of the situation to ensure guests have a pleasant stay.
