54km from Cowra · 1 siteEscape to your own private basecamp on a 6,000-hectare working sheep and cattle station. Historic Rosewood Cottage is set among the rolling hills of the Lachlan River catchment. This is rural Australia at its most peaceful—wide-open skies, big landscapes, wildlife, stars, undiscovered waterholes, farm life, and plenty of space to disappear for a few days.
When you book Basecamp, you have exclusive use of Rosewood Cottage, the glamping accommodation, and all Basecamp facilities.
The base price includes 10 adult beds with linen supplied. An additional 10 places are available for children in the tents. You will need to BYO bedding or swags for these extra places.
The cottage is a beautifully restored historic homestead with a relaxed country feel, featuring a small kitchen and dining room, comfortable lounge, library, outdoor deck, and fire pit.
Outside, you'll find plenty of room to explore, with walking tracks, native bushland, stunning creeks, and spectacular views across the property. Fish or paddle in the creek, or check out the library for games and puzzles. Depending on the season, you may see sheep being moved through the paddocks, kangaroos at dusk, working farm dogs, and the everyday rhythm of a working station.
There is no Wi-Fi, and mobile reception is limited to satellite services, making it an ideal place to properly disconnect.
