A magical place
“Platypus watering hole is a magical place. We camped here for my birthday celebration and enjoyed this peaceful spot bustling with nature. While we didn't spot a platypus there were wombats, a water rat and a menagerie of birds. The facilities are excellent. The central hub has had burners, a bbq and cooking utensils. With indoor and outdoor fire pits we were spoilt for choice on where to congregate. The shower was hot and the beers stayed cool in the fridge. A note on the drive down. It is only 4x4 accessible. I've thought about this long and hard and think you would either get stuck or damage a 2wd regular car. It's a farm track, unsurfaced, for 2km down into the valley, crossing drainage ditches and over a stream. While fun in a 4x4 in a saloon I would have bottomed out several times and probably not been able to climb the steep, gravel section after the stream crossing. In short, don't try it. I rented a 4x4 from Turo and recommend the same so you can enjoy this spot. Thanks to hosts Sharon and Ross who were kind, friendly and patient with my hundreds of excited questions.”
Peaceful spot
It all begins with an idea.
“Awesome place for camping and getting away from it all. Beautiful landscape, peaceful water flowing nearby. Didn’t spot a platypus but they’re there apparently. Great open plan kitchen and fire. Hot shower. Comfortable place to get away with friends and/or family. Cold fridge was helpful. Great mid season, not too hot or cold.”
We had a great time

“We are used to camping without amenities but staying here was amazing. We were also very lucky to see a platypus.”
Epic space for big camping group!

“What a phenomenal campsite. Spent Father’s Day weekend here with 3 families. So much space to spread out, enjoy nature, and spend time together around the fire. The hut is a great space for a cook up and sharing meals. The site is very level for tents and vans. We got our 15ft off grid van in and out without issue, towed by a Chev Silverado on dry ground. AWD cars would be fine as long as you’ve got decent clearance. We saw the platypus in the early morning which was exciting, as well as a couple of lovely wombats, and lots of bird life. This is such an amazing space and we will definitely return for future gatherings! Big thanks to Sharon and Ross for their hospitality and beautiful property!”
Second time staying here

Paradise

“Thank you Sharon, Ross and George the three legged dog! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The rolling hills were stunning. We loved waking up to the dawn chorus - listening to rosellas and the babbling creek. The hosts were wonderful in making us feel welcome and we adored hearing about the history of the well -looked after property. The structure was a god send during the rain. All the brilliant details from the big firepit with the hotplate and the little moon carving in the dunny door were just so thoughtful! As the sun was setting, we saw a wombat come out of its burrow for a feed and it was just so special to witness. Your dedication to sustainability not only nurtures the land but also creates a brighter future for all of us. Keep up the amazing and inspiring work. We will be back! Liz & John”
