The Van in the Bush

In early 2024 Pomonal faced a devastating bushfire that ravaged the community, resulting in the loss of 44 homes. Miraculously, our van in the bush survived. The bush is now regrowing, a testament to nature's resilience. The van is in a secluded location with no neighbours in sight, so if you’re looking for a romantic weekend or just some quality time with a good friend then this is the place for you.
