Sherwood Cottage is located on 15 acres of lush grounds and although the gardens are still being developed, we boast a majestic 100+ year old oak tree (Quercus robur) reportedly grown from an acorn originated from Sherwood Forrest, England. The private residence 'Sherwood Cottage' is noted on the City of Albany Heritage Inventory. Post WW11 period, it is a charming rural Australian style cottage constructed of weatherboard timber and corrugated iron roof.Welcome . We are located 10 minutes from the centre of Albany. Our secluded camp spots are nestled under native trees alongside the meandering Creek.
Site #1. This site is located next to our pond under the shade of a large blackbutt tree. The site has grass underfoot and a picnic table for your convenience.
Additional camping spots are accessed via a small bridge. Access is limited to cars and small campers only. Once you have crossed the creek, you can choose where to camp. The terrain is parkland cleared paddock, shaded by melaleuca. The creek runs closely by and can be heard trickling all year round.
We have a large area for caravans, however we do like to offer our campers as much privacy as we can, so will only have two or three larger vehicles and /or vans in this area at a time.
As we are at the beginning of our journey to welcome campers, we have no facilities available at present. Campers will need to BYO everything and have their own porta-loo and dispose of their rubbish.
Fire restrictions apply as per local gov and DFES notifications. Firewood and a fire-pit can be supplied, when permitted, for a small additional charge.
One friendly dog per site. As our 'girls' (chickens) and ducks are free range along with numerous visiting wild birds, dogs are required to be on a leash at ALL times.
Horses welcome. Must supply own portable yards/fencing.
Our dog "Finn" is a frequent visitor to the campsites. He likes to ensure his property is safe and does a 'perimeter inspection' each morning. He is friendly, but quite large.
PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS A VERY LARGE WORKING WATER- WHEEL IN THE CREEK. This was hand build by Dave It is NOT fenced. There is open water and working windmills on the property, CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES. For safety reasons the Windmill towers and waterwheel are not to be touched.
You may notice, if you look at the aerial property photographs, we have our very own Kart track. If you have karts and would like to bring them, please contact us prior to booking.
