Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
I had a wonderful stay at Tarra Valley Retreat caravan park. The staff, especially Deb, were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. The facilities were well-maintained and clean, and being located next to Bulga National Park was a definite highlight, offering stunning natural surroundings. The only drawback was that the sites felt a bit small, but overall, it was a great experience. I look forward to visiting again!

What a lovely place! Nice little cabin with comfy bed, good heating and hot water. Listen to the sounds of the birds and see Lyrebirds and parrots. Great location close to Tarra Bulga National park walks.

I was coming interstate to join my best friend for her 50th at this cabin/camp-site. Booked weeks in advance, a good 10-15 - some people have come from overseas - we were all looking forward to it. . On the day we were going to arrive, management called and cancelled entire stay citing they double booked. No support or care for they're actions and refused to answer the phone afterwords. I also booked for alternate accommodation and transport to get me to this place which is non refundable and now at a personal cost to me due to their inadequacy and unprofessional behaviour. The stress that caused my friend to organise accommodation for 15 last minute is not acceptable. Not recommended at all.

Don't go, complete joke. Ruined and our family can no longer get accom anywhere last minute. Owner didnt event have the decency to call our hosts himself to explain. Who stays at places run but gronks like this ?

Venue cancelled half the booking 24hrs before trip. A group of us was going to celebrate a friends 50th & we were informed the day before arrival they had double booked & no-one had accommodation for the Friday night. The bulk of our 14 strong group was due to arrive on Thursday. Local spit roasts & cake had been ordered, local pub booked, interstate & overseas guests. Pretty much ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing celebration. Venue obviously prioritized one booking over another & had been communicating positively up to the Tuesday but then gave an alternative 400km away. Not good enough

Hidden away between Balook and Yarram, there are two roads that lead into Fernholme. If you’re anxious about small roads, or have a heavy load, then best you come in via Yarram. Peaceful surroundings with the river meandering past the caravan park. Enjoy some scones and tea surrounded by the beauty of nature.

What a beautiful location. Our site was by the river, so tranquil. Fire in the drum at night or during the day made for a great atmosphere. Can’t wait to return. Be aware there is no phone signal or internet but a few days off grid is quite liberating. Hosts are helpful when parking your van and it will be even better when covid settles and the little cafe’ on-site opens again.

The Tarra Valley Caravan Park "Fernholme" is situated in lush temperate rain forest where there is no mobile reception. The morning alarm is the sound of the birds and the evening is filled with the smoke from the fires at the campsites. Reminiscient of camping in a past age. The park is a very short drive to two waterfalls and the Tarra Bulga Natinal Park. David (the owner) is extremely friendly and will go out of his way to make sure you enjoy your stay. The facilities are vey clean and well maintained. We will definitely try and come back to stay again. 2velos australia.
