About the host

Hosted by Darcy Klaver

Host profile image
Born and bred in ChCh New Zealand. Moved to Australia in 1997. Met my wife soon after and the rest is history. We lived In the suburbs of Melbourne for 16 years before moving to Yendon. We have always been lovers of bush camping and think it is a great way to bring up a family so much that we decided to move to the country and have never looked back.

Why they chose this property

There is so much to do out here if you like to be active.There are great tracks for trail bike riding and MT biking and walking. Small towns that have markets and there own small town charm. It has all the good noise, chainsaws, motorbikes ,tractors ,birds and wild life and sometimes almost no noise at all. We have two beautiful dams and some fantastic night sky's. And if you want a little bit of the city Ballarat is only 16 minutes away.
