Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
NOTE: This is a self-contained camping site. All campers must bring their own camp toilet. Stunning, 100 acres where Highland Cows and hand-raised animals roam free amongst all the abundant native wildlife. Immerse yourself in a beautiful natural environment and lovely friendly animals for a unique experience of being involved in helping Ian and Wally look after all the lucky rescue animals at Eventide. All hosted by the down to earth, local owner Ian and his loyal dog, Wally. You are welcome to help feed the baby calves their morning milk, collect the eggs and tidy the chicken coops or just relax and watch all the lucky animals live their best lives on Eventide Sanctuary! 🤠🐮🐑🐄😊

Camping at an animal Sanctuary ❤
We stayed for two nights at Eventide Sanctuary, and it was an amazing experience! Ian and Diana are the best host, so welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is peaceful, with free-roaming animals of the sanctuary adding to the charm. The views are absolutely stunning, making it the perfect place to relax. While it’s listed as self-contained vehicles only, you can stay if you bring a porta potty or toilet bucket. Highly recommend this beautiful spot!

We loved our stay at Eventide, we didn’t want to leave. Being surrounded by animals who were so friendly was a true highlight. We took part in the animal tour and helped feed the animals which is such a unique experience. What Ian is doing is truly amazing and we were happy to support him. Ian was an amazing host and made the whole process of arriving and departing to easy. Would highly recommended to anyone travelling in Tassie

Ian's property is one of a kind. The views from our campsite were incredible, and we loved the free ranging farm animals that came and said hello during our stay. The love and care Ian has for his animals is really beautiful, and all the animals we met were friendly and happy to get pats and head scratches. Our toddler loved the trampoline and swing set as well, it was an added bonus! Staying at Eventide was a really special experience that we would recommend to all.

Really enjoyed our two night stay at Eventide Sanctuary. Our daughter definitely did not want to leave! Ian has a true love of all the animals and we enjoyed doing the farm experience, especially feeding the Highland cows. Thanks for also for being dog friendly.
