Ian's campsite offers a peaceful and secluded retreat, perfect for those looking to unplug and enjoy nature. Many visitors appreciate the unique amenities like mini golf and a well-maintained fire pit, alongside the abundance of wildlife and starry nights. While the cabin is basic, it has all the essentials, and the lack of phone reception contributes to the remote, off-grid experience. Some guests note the site can be challenging to find, and the composting toilet setup might not suit everyone, but overall, it is well-loved for its tranquility and ease of access.

Away From It All

Ian’s place was a great spot to spend a long weekend camping. The property was as it’s described and we appreciated the amenities provided. The toilet system is a clever idea and was nicer than a drop toilet. We were glad we bought our own drinking water and only used the potable water for hand washing. We would happily stay at Ian’s place again.

Echidna Retreat Cabin

Great spot to unplug and get "away from it all"! Mini golf was a hit for our 5yo, dogs had a great time roaming the land, wonderful star gazing at night. We had a great time here and will look forward to come back again. Thanks Ian!
