Welcome to Camp Sunnystones

A stone homestead, 50 acres of bush, and room for every kind of gathering

Camp Sunnystones is an architecturally designed stone homestead on 50 acres of bushland bordering the Long Forest Nature Conservation Reserve, with stunning views towards the Macedon Ranges.

Through the school week it rings with the noise of kids paddling canoes, building rafts and toasting marshmallows. On weekends it slows down for weddings, reunions and group escapes. Either way, it’s family owned, with Kate and Matt, former PE teachers who have owned this place for sixteen years, while our General Manager Dave and our amazing team run it day to day.

Not a school, and not getting married?

The homestead also hosts private group stays for family reunions, church groups, youth organisations and retreats. Same property, your own pace.
