Loved all the little areas at YellowBoxWood and fun things to do with our very active two boys 3 and 8 years old. The owners have been so thoughtful about the experience with lots of surprises to disc...over. The lush safari tents with luxury beds and bed nook for the kids made for a magical/comfortable stay, and the mineral pool was an oasis amongst the stunning hills, (kangaroos at one point) and bush. We brought our bikes to do the rail trail but there were marked tracks around the property too which was really fun. Would be fun to book both tents next time and come as a group. Loved it all. Thank you Andee and Lisa.

What a special little place! Very spacious tent with everything you need including super comfortable beds. We loved having a fire and toasting our marshmallows. The location is perfect for exploring the area, and Andee and Lisa (hosts) are just wonderful. A perfect getaway. Highly recommend!

Heathcote Graytown National Park

There are hundreds of kilometres of trails in the adjacent National Park. Although off-road most are fairly easy riding on graded gravel roads. You can literally ride from the property to Rushworth (if you choose) - without going anywhere near a tarrred road

Bushwalking

This National Park is a great place for bushwalks. Mt Ida, Mt Black and Viewing Rock provide views of Heathcote and surrounding areas. The park also has a rich history with relics from the gold rush and war era to discover at Graytown. Melvilles Lookout is a prominent ridge where Captain Melville reputably waited in ambush for miners during the gold rush.
