Heritage listed homestead featuring children’s art and literature. Currently featuring a beautiful exhibition by award winning Australian authors/illustrators Mark Wilson, Leigh Hobbs, Ann James & Gabrielle Wang. Nestled in the Macedon ranges in the tiny hamlet of Riddell’s Creek, Dromkeen is 30 minutes drive from Melbourne Airport. This stately National Trust home has beautiful gardens with a range of Australian native and European plants, a gazebo and two resident alpacas. We have space in the large carpark for vans, motorhomes, or alternatively the horse paddock for tents and campers. Ample toilets available. Dogs permitted by advance request. Guests are welcome to visit the Tea Room, open 10am – 5pm Wednesday through Sunday. Our daily menu contains a selection of delicious cakes, devonshire tea, toasted sandwiches, specialty pies and weekly specials and of course, tea and coffee. Breakfast is served all day. Browse in the galleries or wander around the beautiful gardens which have trees more than 100 years old, some listed on the National Trust register. Meet our 2 Dromkeen alpacas Hannah and Lilly. ***Please note, we are a rubbish free campsite, so campers are asked to take their rubbish with them. Dromkeen has very clean toilets, but a reminder there are NO showers. Also all sites are unpowered, but upon request prior to arrival a powered spot may be available at an extra $10 a day. Please ring to verify this. During summer months because of fire restrictions we also remind campers there should be NO outside campfires. ****Also please note, each van or tent is considered a separate booking site and each site is considered a space for 2 adults and up to 4 children. Where there are 2 couples, they are required to make 2 separate bookings.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bernadette’s land. She was very accommodating and very friendly. We were so lucky to have seen the Aurora during our visit as well. Definitely recommend!

Easy to access with a camper trailer and in a hill with outlook over Riddles Creek and of course the starry night. . Great location with easy access to Macedon Ranges. Handy to be able to get a coffee onsite too. Bernadette checked in with me when I arrived and left me to soak up the serenity.

Host was an absolute pleasure to deal with, timely response and accomodating. The paddock was grassed and well kept. We pitched at the corner closest to the adjacent paddock separated by the barbwire fence. It was on abit of decline but great views! Highly recommend!

Bernadette is a friendly and helpful host. The paddock set aside for camping is large and well kept with great views. Toilets and hot water are a big bonus. Would definitely stay again!
