1 night at Mt Terrace

Solitude at the foothills of the Warrumbungles! A short drive off the bitumen & then a quick guided drive to your spot after reaching the house/farm. My reactive dog & I had complete space to ourselves with that beautiful view, just the sounds of the bush. The lack of reception is to be expected (for anyone needing it) yet I carry a PLB as I travel remotely, it wasn’t a bother. Stu (James’ Dad) was very helpful, the firewood lasted most of the night, I would definitely return & was easy to book with great, prompt communication.

Great location and once set up-about 35min drive to Warrumbungle’s. Towed in a 8.4M off road caravan-dusty road in and tight through some gates but no dramas. Host James was great!

We loved staying at Black Wattle! The views and camp site were amazing! It was a little hot, but the ability to cool off in the dam with some lovely native visitors was fantastic!

We loved the location at Black Wattle, it was private and felt completely isolated which is exactly what we were looking for. The toilet and water on site were handy! The view from our campsite and the walking tracks along the property was breathtaking. We stayed in the height of summer, so there wasn’t much water about in the creeks or dams. The host was friendly and always up for a chat when we came across each other. It’s about 20 minutes to the closest town by car where you can get a nice pub lunch and some ice to top up the drinks esky, and it’s about an hour into Coonabarabran which is a larger town that has some shops and fuel. The warrumbungle national park is along the scenic route to Coonabarabran and is worth the trip to stop in and check out the lookouts and trails. We saw lots of birdlife, kangaroos, wallabies, wild goats and the residents cows and calves. We highly recommend staying here and would love to come back one day.
