Ellesmere Park Farm Stay was inspired by our trip following the stock routes of NSW by horse drawn vehicles. Many people commented they would love to do that, which gave us the idea of sharing our amazing journey with others.  Our camping area is a lot more comfortable than we endured with a well set up camp kitchen, green lawns and friendly animals all in one area. Our mascot, "Lucky lamb", is an attraction all of her own and who else can say "Kevin bacon" lives here! Our farm stay offers a large grassed camping area with camp kitchen. We are located within easy driving distance of Greens lake and the Waranga basin for fishing, boating and swimming activities and only 15km from Rushworth and the historic Whroo township. Campers are welcome to join us as we feed the animals and can book horse drawn wagon rides during their stay.  Fires and pets allowed (read Listing rules). There is only one toilet and one shower available, it is recommended that campers are self sufficient

What an experience!
19 ft travel trailer · With kids ·
Belinda and family have created a beautiful and relaxing space for campers to really enjoy the fun and charm a farm stay brings. All the furry friends you could want, our kids absolutely loved the calves and Turbo the bull. We were lucky enough to go for a ride in one of their carts too. Lot's of great memories were made here! Toilet and shower was a bonus as well as the well equipped kitchen area. Thanks for having us we had a ball!

Safety Hazard - BBQ area
The in house bbq area didn’t have any ventilation at all. even the window was permanently closed and there wasn’t any exhaust fan next to the gas bbq. after all it was very dirty (wasn’t cleaned at all and food scraps were still there from months) and we tried cook some food there putting some bbq sheets on top as we were relying on that. but after a while it caught with a fire as there were so much of cooked oil deposited previously. We were seriously frightened. Somehow we managed to stop the fire and we stopped cooking there. Lots of meat we brought were wasted as we couldn’t cook them. If you advertise bbq, it should be usable for anyone and also it should be safe to use the equipment. It is a very big hazard if anyone going to use it again that un ventilated kitchen having no exhaustion.

Hosts were lovely and hospitable, basic but good facilities, lots of fun animals, only thing that would enhance the campsite is turf :)

Yay cats :]
Ellesmere Park Farm Stay. If I had to describe it in three words, they would be 'beautiful', 'amazing', and '#dacatsrADORBS'. The animals there were very calm, cool, collected, and very demure. Especially the family of cats there; 5 black kittens, there black cat parents + a rando black cat. And the goats and cows, lama/alpacas and horses were cool as well. And the peacock. And loads of other animals. At night, you absolutely MUST go star hopping; the view of stars is INCREDIBLE. Ellesmere Park Farm Stay is a place you won't forget soon. :] Celine P.S. Don't forget to bring insect repellent. Or you'll regret it. T_T

We had a lovely stay at the site. Opened lawn area and lucky we were the only group there. Well maintained and very clean. Everyone was friendly, very kind and helpful. Belinda lent us the batteries cause we forgot to buy some. There are fire drums to borrow and they will help you set one up in front of your site in no time! perfect for late night smores and warmth on the chill night. Our pooch also had one of the best weekends in his life running around saying hi to Timber the calf. All of the animals are cute and friendly but they are also stay in their areas a bit further from the site—no smell or any disturbances during the stay. You can see sunset and sunrise plus heaps of stars if the sky is clear. Definitely will go back again :)
