Located within 50 acres of bushland, just out of Hepburn Springs and Daylesford. Serenity. Experience the beautiful Australian bush, fantastic night skies and the amazing colours of the sun rising and setting. You also have the opportunity to observe local wildlife; kangaroos, kookaburras and possibly echidnas. There are many wineries, bushwalks, town markets to explore and this is well suited to mountain biking due to the proximity of the Goldfields track. Please check the CFA website with regards to fire restrictions: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/fire-bans-ratings-and-restrictions. This property is located in 'Central' district. The Fire Danger Period is from 25 Nov '24 to 1 May '25.

Great communication from Wendy who met us on arrival. We were pleasantly surprised by the camp site. Nice and quiet with the only sounds being birds chirping and the breeze in the trees. We lit a nice fire with plenty of wood supplied. Will definitely return again but for a longer stay.

Very private site with bush views. Great place to sit by the fire and view the full moon rising. Short drive to Daylesford.

Lovely property, lots of wildlife around and super quiet. We drove in and saw kangaroos where the campsite and a pair of Scarlet Robins in the morning. 10 mins to Daylesford, 7 mins to the hot springs and 2 mins to chocolate mill. Wendy replies super quick and is great to deal with. We will be back here again!

Had a great stay with our 2 dogs! Secluded and private, we had a good time exploring the surrounds of the campsite and our dogs also got to have a little dip to cool off. Will definitely be back again!
