We’re not a resort, and we’re not a conventional camping trip.

We’re a working sheep and cattle station, a historic cottage, comfortable canvas beds, good food and a landscape that invites you to explore.

Our approach is relaxed, personal and unpretentious. We believe the best experiences combine a little adventure with a lot of hospitality — and leave you feeling like you’ve discovered somewhere special.

There’s no need to be an experienced hiker or an expert camper. Just bring your curiosity, a sense of adventure and a willingness to get amongst it.

Tourism with dirt under its fingernails.
