The paddock

We had the campsite to ourselves and it was fairly flat. Little to no reception but a quick 5mins to Saint Albans which has full Telstra coverage. Peaceful location and great communication with the Hosts. Booking comes with a file with great instructions and a few things to do around the area. All in all good site. Cheers.

The paddock

This was a nice small patch of land to stay at. The grounds were well kept and had plenty of space to chose a good site. Clean and maintained so was good for us as we had a caravan in tow. Would come back here for sure. Nice work 👏

The Mountain Shack

Such a cosy place, was nice to be by ourselves in the bush. We had a great weekend even with the rain. It was nice to sit out under the awning with a fire, listening to the birds. We hope to come back some day.

Gorgeous, rust cottage built into t

The Mountain Shack

What a magical place! A rustic cottage built with cliff face wall with greenery and directly in the beauty of of the Aussie Bush! The kiln works, sandstone carvings and artwork that surround the cottage make this place very special. We brought many provisions but did not need anything besides bedding which they also provide for a fee, as the cottage was stocked with everything we needed. The fireplace was so cosy and there also a fireplace outside. The bathroom was awesome and love the references of Mr Halifax around the place. The kitchen had a wonderful gas stove top and there is event a fridge and microwave, along with a PlayStation 2 in the living area (GTA San Andreas great video game!) chromecast with the TV and wifi. We saw a family of wallabies in the field at the bottom of the mountain. The river and swimming hole, both close by in walking distance and a short drive to the Settlers Arms Inn next to the river. There were white peacocks and colourful male peacocks just walking around near the Settlers Arms and the river freely! The Wisemans Ferry Crossing was a fun added bonus. It's like the Garden or Eden there! 🦚 We will be back for sure! Thank you for our wonderful stay Helen and Steve ❤️
