Kielock Homestead is a unique farm stay experience located centrally in the beautiful Kiewa Valley Victoria where you can camp right on the bank of the Kiewa River.
Some of the activities available include fishing, swimming, bush walking, bird and animal watching and bike riding. If you choose you can join in on farm activities such as feeding the animals, collecting eggs and planting/harvesting fruit and vegetables. We have a small market garden available where you can pick and purchase seasonal fresh produce, alternatively vegetable boxes and eggs are available by arrangement and delivered right to your campsite.
Within the 200 acres of the property you will find it is home to many animals including kangaroos wombats platypus possums, bats and many bird and marine species. The main fish in the river are trout and cod so if you would like to try your luck fishing this is the place for you.Some of the surrounding towns include Mt Beauty (20 mins), Yackandandah (30 mins), Bright (50 mins), Beechworth (50 mins) Falls Creek (60 mins) with the border towns of Albury and Wodonga only 50 mins away. These beautiful towns contain an array of boutique wineries, craft breweries, bakeries and cafes, or you can choose to follow a farm gate food trail.
The area also provides opportunities to go horse-riding, bike riding on one of the many rail trails or be adventurous on the mountain bike tracks at Falls Creek in the warmer months with snow sports in winter. The surrounding mountain ranges offer numerous famous 4wd trails or you might like to try your hand at panning for gold.
This is a working farm and our animals are our family. They are very friendly but only know us and not you so please do not enter their homes without us, but feel free to talk to them over the gates. Be aware that all fences are electric and are switched on at all times.
There is a dedicated communal campfire area for use when fire restrictions permit and we request that no additional fire pits are created during your stay.
As this is a working property we are unable to accommodate your pets. For biosecurity reasons there is a strict No Pet policy.
We look forward to greeting you upon arrival and showing you to your campsite.
Wow where do we start
Kms of private stunning Kiewa River Frontage, great fishing, tranquility, rolling green meadows and mountain views, sunrises and sunsets like nothing you’ve seen before, farm animals at their best and cheekiest in their own trusted environment, local history and knowledge from Charles tips and suggestions on things to do and see, glorious lush gardens full of herbs, vegetables and fruit trees as far as the eye can see, Cassie’s homemade jams and sauces and honey for purchase throughout the stay all organic no pesticides sprays or chemicals it doesn’t get much better than that! That’s just the tip
We loved our stay you guys made us feel extremely welcome at Kielock Homestead, our highlight waking up and having my morning cuppa with the cows and watching the sunset at Eagles Nest! So it’s a thanks again and see you soon !!!
Location was amazing, make sure you bring a fishing rod and some swimmers. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly, showed my young son around the animals and the fruit trees.
Meet and greet by the turkeys before being led by the host to our beautiful site beside the river. Sites are nicely spaced, flat and being on the river, a perfect place to cool down after a hot day. Sadly the fishes didn’t want to be caught even though we saw them and we tried every type of fly. Would definitely stay again if heading down here. Also close enough to Bright for a trip into town and a visit to the brewery.
Just spent the Australia Day weekend at Peppermint Grove! Highly recommended!
A private site, sunny but shade if you need to find it. Fire pit and great river access with the best swimming hole! Great spot to camp!!
