I recently stayed at ‘The Buxton Getaway,’ which was perfect for a quick overnight trip. The location is under an hour from home and close to some fantastic bushwalks. Setting up was easy, and the site was relatively secluded, which was great. We enjoyed the fire pits and the peaceful surroundings. It was a little difficult to find the entry and access but we got there in the end. Overall, a great spot for a short stay, and I’d definitely consider going back!

The Secret Getaway - Buxton
We had a wonderful group stay! Great spot, kayaks were a hit with the kids in the arvo, walk to little river always worth it. Thanks for a great weekend.

Our family of three and a dog had a very peaceful time at 'Secret Getaway', Buxton Avenue. Luckily, the entire campsite was for us. However, even with other guests, I guess, the campsites are well-distanced and spaced out for privacy. Campsite-2, where we had camped had a small pond overlooking, which in the evening gave a magical feel to our experience. A river at walking distance and a free kayaking experience in the property added to the bonus amenities. The toilets were clean and adequate potable water was supplied. My dog Milo had a wonderful time chasing elusive kangaroos. Hosts, Victor and Luvina were wonderful and kind enough to come and meet us to check if everything was fine.

The Secret Getaway - Buxton
The campsite is well-equipped with great amenities, and we especially enjoyed the kayaks and the dam. However, the site allocation process could be improved with better transparency.
We booked a one-night stay midweek and were assigned a pitch by the host rather than choosing one ourselves. Initially, we were given Pitch 1, which was closest to the road, shared toilets, and three other pitches. Seeking more privacy, we asked for a different spot, and the host quickly moved us to Pitch 5. While communication was friendly and responsive, it lacked details about the pitches.
Upon arrival, we realised that only one of the six pitches was occupied, yet we were still placed in a less-than-ideal spot. Pitch 5 had no grass and wasn’t suitable for tents—likely better for a caravan. Unfortunately, it rained that night, and due to the terrain, our gear became extremely muddy—worse than we’ve ever experienced while camping in the rain.
A clearer pitch selection process with accurate descriptions and photos would greatly improve the experience. While we enjoyed the facilities, the campsite was not as quiet or remote as expected. Nearby houses and a puppy farm meant occasional barking dogs and distant music.
Overall, a well-planned campsite with good amenities, but better pitch information and selection options would make a big difference.
