After planning to go down south with a friend who determined camping to be in a hotel, I started looking for a compromise. The requirements were I wanted something different so I jumped on AirBnB, avoiding a hotel room surrounded by the latest bus load of geriatrics named Betty that had left the Crown Casino in search of good wine. I was immediately drawn to the Gypsy Van as soon as I saw it. The entrepreneurial spirit and bright colours appealed to me, and the location was just the thing I needed to feel like I was camping.

On arrival we were greeted by the big smiles of Do who was a great host and also very passionate about what they do at the farm. She gave us a short tour around the grounds and gardens including the compost shower, which is fantastic.

The location is great, only a short drive to down and 5 minutes to the beach. You get more than just accommodation at this site, you get a nice place to sit back and chill, and what they are doing with the farm is really cool.

The van is really comfortable, the back doors open out which makes for an amazing place to sit and have a wine. The bed was great, and in general the whole van felt very welcoming and homely.

Overall it’s a great place if you want somewhere nice to relax. I would definitely return and recommend this location to anyone looking for a different and true Margaret River experience.
