"Some places don’t just give you a bed for the night — they give you a feeling you didn’t realise you were missing.Tucked deep into the bushland of Mount Helen, this stay is wrapped in tall gum trees, drifting leaves, and a silence so complete it almost hums. From the moment you turn onto the gravel driveway, the forest canopy arches overhead and the world you came from begins to fall away. The air smells like eucalyptus and earth. Birds become the soundtrack. Time loosens its grip.As the sun sinks, the bush glows. Orange and pink light threads between the trunks, turning the landscape into a living silhouette. It’s the kind of sunset you don’t rush to photograph because you’re too busy standing still inside it.At the heart of it all sits the beautifully restored vintage caravan — polished aluminium on the outside, warm timber tones and cosy comfort within. It feels honest, thoughtfully done, and full of character. The kind of place where you kick off your shoes, open the door, and let the forest air roll straight in. Morning coffee here hits differently. Mornings unfold slowly, cool air on your face, nothing demanding your attention.What makes this stay unforgettable isn’t luxury — it’s stillness. Real Australian bushland surrounds you: ferns, native scrub, leaf-littered paths, and walking tracks that snake quietly through the trees. You’re constantly reminded that you’re in true, untouched bushland — not a manicured garden. "

"Host was welcoming and accommodating. Had a lovely stay with our baby and had everything we needed. Very comfortable with air conditioning, even in 40 heat."

"An absolutely beautiful place to stay. Relaxing and felt like home. "

"Best place to be!"

"Such a quiet, peaceful space. The bungalow was comfortable and spacious with everything you need for a few days retreat. Having the BBQ meant that we could cook a meal for ourselves. Just note there is only the BBQ and microwave for food preparation, which worked perfectly with some planning. The bungalow was thoughtfully and tastefully furnished; spacious bathroom and extremely comfortable bed. Was lovely having a stroll through the gardens and yards, we even got to feed the alpacas and learned a lot about them! Claire and Rob are always around the farm and easily contactable if you need them, otherwise they are very conscious of guests privacy. We highly recommend the farm stay and I think it will become our home away from home when we are visiting the area. "

"Absolutely fabulous. This property was so clean and tidy and beautiful decorated.The little bar came with complimentary wine, granola, a fresh loaf of bread, jams and honey,tea, coffee and hot chocolate the fridge was stocked with yogurt juice and milk and butter. This was so good to have because once you get there you don’t want to leave. We had a view of the olive grove and relaxed on the deck as the sun set in the background. The air conditioning was quiet , the shower was big enough for two. The owner was vey kind and quick to respond for any questions. "
