Set on 17 acres in Steels Creek, Oasis Berry Farms is a family favourite.

In addition to 5,000 bushes of blueberries producing delicious and fresh berries that can be purchased by the bucketload from their on-site farmgate shed, there are amazing gardens to explore including a dinosaur garden, a miniature garden, and buried treasure on an island!

Set beside a shady billabong in Dixon’s Creek, The Burrow at Wombat Bend offers a quiet and beautiful self-contained sanctuary amid a leafy Australian landscape. It’s a retreat where guests cosy in for a relaxing escape and also a quiet paradise for the resident wildlife, making it a favourite for nature lovers or any traveller keen to spot native birds and wildlife in their natural setting.
