The historic property ‘Lisieux’ dates back to 1849. Once a drovers house where cattle from Melbourne were held for summer grazing. The beautifully restored house and gardens are surrounded by paddocks next to a native creek line that make for the perfect camping spots. Choose to camp next to one of the two lakes or in a more secluded spot in the old orchard paddock. Toilet facilities available.

Camping in comfort

We loved camping on Nik’s property near the lake. The property is beautifully maintained, with lovely gardens, chickens and sheep. We enjoyed a camp fire each night, toasting marshmallows which Nik kindly offered us. We liked having access to a flushing toilet and a laundry sink, a short walk from the campsite (with the path between well lit at nighttime). We were the only tent by the lake, and there were a couple of caravaners in a back paddock (which we could see but not hear). The property is located a short drive from the Pig and Whistle pub (with a great beer garden), and a short drive from Trentham town centre with a well stocked grocer. Would highly recommend Nik’s property.

Nice camp-site, surrounded by animals. Good privacy with only a couple of bookings taken at once despite it being the long weekend.

A lovely easy camping option
It was such a lovely place to stay. Easy camping and so much around to see and do. The hosts where very lovely and responsive, even bringing us ice for a hot day to help cool us down. Thank you for having us 😀
