The Story of Yelverton Brook

Joy & Simon purchased Yelverton Brook as a 100-acre virgin bush block in 1988 and with a passion for all things nature and a strong organic ethos, their dream was to establish a tourism venture with green ideals. Each of the Lodges & Studios has been lovingly hand-built from sustainably sourced materials and features environmentally sensitive design. They are positioned into existing, natural bushland clearings in order to ensure a low environmental impact and as little disturbance to nature as possible. As a result, each is nestled in an amphitheatre of forest, creating privacy for guests and a feeling of seclusion.


In 2001, with the help of volunteers from the Australian Conservation Trust, they installed a custom-built predator-proof fence surrounding the whole 100 acres. This marked the transformation of the property into a Wildlife Conservation Sanctuary. Yelverton Brook now acts as a safe release site for critically endangered native wildlife and is home to a host of Australian animals, including three critically endangered species. Their work is also helping native Australian flora to thrive, returning the bushland to an ‘Eden status’ which provides a safe haven to over 50 species of birdlife.

Yelverton Brook Conservation Sanctuary is a truly unique experience. The accommodation is simple but very comfortable and clean as a whistle. The amenities are excellent. A good stove, cooking utensils, a barbecue and even a hot tub! The kangaroos, possums and exotic birds are always around the outside of the house. The experience really involves living among them. I recommend Yelverton Sanctuary to anyone and could imagine it as a wonderful base for a family holiday.

What an amazing place! The conservation sanctuary offers relaxing walks and abundant wildlife, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers. The owners were incredibly kind and even sent us a video before our arrival, ensuring we knew exactly where to go and how to settle in comfortably. They generously provided us with basic items and some delicious eggs from their chickens. Feeding the kangaroos and watching them in their natural habitat was truly magical. We were also thrilled to see a wyolie in person and other native possums. This sanctuary is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the beauty of wildlife up close.

An absolutely fantastic stay! We stayed 3 nights here with our 2 children, as soon as we arrived we were greeted by a flock of kangaroos- some with Joeys in their pouch. In the evening friendly possums and bandicoots come for a visit. The facilities are very thoughtful and you’re made to feel right at home. The kids LOVED it, we wish we booked for longer and we will definitely come back if we plan another journey in the area.

We had the most wonderful stay at Yelverton brook. This place is a hidden gem within the region. It’s a secluded hideaway but is very central to all tourist attractions. Incredible wholesome experience to wake up surrounded by nature and friendly animals. We even stayed up for hours watching the nocturnal wildlife. The owners are so lovely, we even had a fresh loaf of bread delivered right to our door one morning for breakfast. Would highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to go back!
