Eclectic Bush Haven Camp Ground 1

Overall Nice stay

really cute site, artsy and unique, felt very private however i feel it’s a tad over priced for what it is, and there’s signs everywhere repeating the same rules of having a 2 minute shower, however for $25 per person, per night, unpowered, you should be able to take a lil longer than that. Camp kitchen was the nicest i’ve seen but there was a rat running around so i wouldn’t leave any food in there. There is a few warnings but i’d definitely only book if you’re a very confident driver.

Beautiful, serene property.

A beautiful stay in Studio cabin number 2. Everything we needed was provided. The property is serene, gorgeous peacocks, friendly & helpful hosts. It was a perfect way to spend some time out.

Eclectic Bush Haven Camp Ground 1

We loved camping on Julie's land. We had a marvelous time! It was beautiful to hear the birds singing in the morning. We went for a nice bushwalk on the property and saw beautiful peacocks. There is also a great Yoga deck. I would highly recommend this place.

Entire Property Hire - Exclusive

Wonderful stay

We booked the entire property at Yarralen Retreat for a family get-together to celebrate my Dad’s 70th. The property was tranquil and relaxing with beautiful bush walks and yoga deck. The amenities and camp kitchen were great and had everything we needed for big family cook ups. They were also artistic and lots to look at. The kids loved the big nest swing where they spent most of their time and the hammocks on the yoga deck. All of the accommodation was lovely and very comfortable. The kids also loved the peacocks, chickens and fish. Julie and Cliff were kind and generous hosts who we enjoyed spending time with and learning about their beautiful property. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and were very accommodating to make sure everyone was comfortable. We had such a wonderful weekend and 100% recommend for large groups and family get-togethers! We are considering making it an annual family holiday! Thank you Julie and Cliff!

This place was an absolute treat! Julie and Cliff were very welcoming and helped me get my campfire going, ran a yoga/meditation session, and overall made the experience super nice. They have a beautiful property and the bathrooms and camp kitchen were in good condition and kept nice and tidy!
