Happy to consider early checkins and late checkouts on request! Secluded property situated on an elevated location to watch the sunset over a panoramic view of the Narrowneck Plateau and in a dark sky area to gaze at the stars and milkyway minutes away from the famous Six Foot Track hike, Coxs River and the Bowtell's suspension bridge.. Absolute privacy and a stunning spot to watch the sun set and stars rise. The entire 100 acre property is yours to explore with the booking including a creek with and waterfall after rains.

    We had a wonderful stay at Nos Astra! So nice to have a hot shower after spending the day exploring the property. My two boys, 4 and 7, loved the trampoline and fire pit. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

    Absolutely awesome location; views across the Megalong good enough to make you want to move in permanently. Well-stocked and equipped, if you’re hiking through it makes a great stop off. We had a friend drive in and it saved us carrying all our supplies in heavy backpacks. Kid and pet friendly (our dogs loved it), we will be back! Thank you, John.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Nos Astra. The cabin has everything you need for a comfy stay and the location is out of this world - especially at night. We enjoyed it so much that are already planning our return trip in summer. John is very responsive as a host and answered all questions before the trip. We unfortunately didn’t get much time to explore the property by foot but drove to Cox’s River campground for a picnic and swim in the river. The swing bridge is only a short walk from there but will save that for next time. If you’re after peace, nature, stars, fire, sunshine and relaxing then this is the perfect spot. Thanks heaps John for a wonderful stay and sharing your cabin and magic piece of the valley with us.
