‘Glamping’ property with mini donkeys Australia’s number one commercial listing
A regional Victorian property that includes a home, a thriving ‘glamping’ accommodation business and miniature donkeys as a sweetener has proven so popular among potential buyers that it has quickly become the most-viewed commercial property in the country.
The 6ha site at 95 Haynes Track, Trafalgar South could be the ultimate ‘tree change’, with the chance to purchase a renovated manor, cute cottage and a prosperous glamping business.
In true country style, three “tame and friendly” miniature donkeys, two sheep and an affable goat will also be included if a buyer can be found for the property, which is being offered with a $1.65-$1.815 million price guide.

The property in the Gippsland region performs strongly as an accommodation offering, with the cottage rented out from $170 a night, the glamping experience in a bell tent starting at $250 a night, and the main house previously leased out for almost $1000 a night.
