Sharon & Richie is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
Your choice of your very own 10 acres of pasture, although you will have to share it with wallabies, bandicoots, a variety of birds and the occasional echidna. Views of Bass Strait and Western Port and walking distance to PHILLIP ISLAND Winery. Only 5 minutes drive to great surf and swimming beaches and 7 minutes to the Penguin Parade. Now for the best part. We are located in the "Dark Sky" of PHILLIP ISLAND, with amazing opportunities for astrophotography or simply stargazing in peace and quiet under the Milky Way, only the sound of distant surf crashing and wind through the trees.

Camping on Richie and Sharon's property seems to offer a perfect getaway for those yearning for serene, open spaces with stunning views. The vast paddocks promise privacy and peacefulness, making them a great setting for those traveling with kids or pets. Reviewers consistently praise the hosts for their warm hospitality and special touches, like tractor rides for the kids and tips on local attractions. While the setting is beautiful and remote, it's worth noting the site requires self-sufficiency, as you'll need to bring your own water and amenities.

AMAZING!

Huge paddock all to ourselves with a lovely view of the coast between the trees. A peaceful spot far from the road noise and the night sky was incredible. It was super convenient for the Penguin Parade and close to Cowes. Richie gave us a warm welcome and some great recommendations for our trip. Being able to fill our water tank was a real bonus. Thanks Richie!

Had a lovely couple of nights in the Winery paddock. Very convenient for access to the winery, private and with a great view. Hosts made us feel very welcome. Thanks

We booked last minute and absolutely loved our stay! Had the most beautiful views and got to see some awesome wild life as we camped. Good position to explore the island. Sharon and Richie were absolutely lovely and very helpful

Nature in Stereo!
Awesome, bucolic scene, hosted by Richie and Sharron; so accomodating and kind... A ripping storm blew over us in the middle of the night and shook the rig, lightening strikes, thunder claps, torrential rain and roaring wind... It was nature's full majesty on display... The next morning first thing Richie was checking in on us to make sure we were alright... Folks were so kind! It's an excellent location, directly next to the Winery (where we went for lunch) and. ~10 min drive from The Nobbies... Stunning place.
