5. The Old Dairy @ Baerami

19km from Denman · 1 site · Lodging · Baerami, NSW

Our property is approximately 150 acres, located in the Upper Hunter Valley between the Goulburn River National Park and the Wollemi National Park. In the shadow of Mt Dangar, our land sweeps down to the pristine Goulburn River, one of the main tributaries of the Hunter River. The property was once part of a huge agricultural station, that was established not long after explorers started to open up the interior to development in colonial times. We raise cattle and have an olive grove, which we planted in 2001 (our olive brand is Windybank Olives). In 2003 we established The Old Dairy accommodation, by renovating the crumbling 1940's dairy shed at the top of the property. There are stunning views of the surrounding countryside in all directions from The Old Dairy. It is a place to unwind, relax, reset. Guests have loved the peace & quiet we offer, the chance to get away from everything for a short while. Our road is just off Bylong Valley Way - a visually stunning route through the national parks towards Mudgee, Rylstone, Capertee Valley, Lithgow and the Greater Blue Mountains, tracking along the headwaters of the Goulburn River. One of the most beautiful drives in New South Wales and within close proximity of terrific campsites like Ganguddy (Dunn's Swamp via Rylstone) and Big River (Gouburn River National Park). Plenty of birds & wildlife (kangaroos make a very regular appearance - as do healthy green tree frogs!). A beautiful part of the world.

Weekend Trip to The Nile Off Grid family farm

Loved camping here over the weekend! There were plenty of nice spots to choose from all surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. We spotted some kangaroos and wombats and got to see and hear many various species of birds. Jake was super friendly and helpful with showing us around his farm. He stopped to check up a couple times and just to have a few chats while we were walking around and while up at the spa We walked around the farm saw the cows and checked out the waterhole. Not huge, but a cute little natural pool, discovered some yabbies and tadpoles. We played with puppy ‘Rabbit’ and watched as she learnt how to work on the farm with the cows. The spa was spacious, clean and the perfect temperature. Enjoyed the amazing views from up there! We made a green tree frog friend who didn’t mind sharing the water with us too. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Jake! Overall great experience :)

The best campsite ever, could not fault the site, hosts, and experience altogether. We were a group of young families (four kids under 3!) and the facilities, jacuzzi, lookout tour and much more were all so great. Jacob and Mandy have the gift of hospitality and it was such a blessing.

The drive to this campsite is absolutely stunning. So were the views from where we stayed. We were 3 families with a mix of young kids to teens and everyone had a fabulous time. The hosts were super friendly and helpful, and it’s very peaceful. Not too crowded, hot showers and good toilets. You can feed the cows, chickens and lamb, and the swimming hole was a neat little spot for the kids to hang in.

Fantastic camping spot! Plenty of room to choose any site which suits you. Great for small or large groups. Plenty of grass, flat areas and shade. We loved the camp fire areas scattered around the property, and we chose a site which had log seats which were handy! Jacob the host was very informative and helpful. Good amenities- the spa looking out to the canyon looked amazing (we didn't use it on this trip, but will next time) Scenery is world class.... we did the walk to the rim of Capertee Canyon from the property, which was challenging but we were rewarded with the most amazing views ever! Not a lot of water in the swimming hole when we were there, however this is part of natural bush camping. We did day trips to Glen Davis and Dunns Swamp which were both a good accessible distance from the camp. We would definitely recommend staying there!

The property is absolutely stunning and very peaceful. Even at full capacity it was very private with large open spaces and few campers. There is so much to do, mountain hiking, rock pool for swimming and a warm spa. The owners are delightfully warm, friendly people, we would stay there again no question.

This was our second stay here — our first was just for one night, but the kids had such a great time that we had to come back for a longer visit! This time we stayed for three nights and loved every moment, from exploring the area to soaking up the peace and quiet. Our hosts, Jake and Mandy, were incredibly welcoming. Jake even took us up the mountain and shared his extensive local knowledge, which made the experience even more special. It truly was an amazing weekend, and we can’t recommend this place highly enough!

We all had an amazing time at The Nile. The property is massive and you can pick your own spot to set up camp. The property is large enough so you dont have to be near other campers Toilet and Shower facilities are great. There is also a 4 wheel drive track to the top of the mountain through the national park. We are return visitors and will book plenty of more in the future. The hosts Jake and Mandy are awesome! See you again soon

WOW! What an incredible stay! Jacob & Mandy were such amazing hosts, so accommodating & kind , Jake took us on a 4WD to the lookout which was breath taking, not to mention both spending time with us socially. The kids (4&6) loved every second of it. Feeding the cows, sheep, watering hole paddles, discovering the dinosaur rock, enjoying the spa and exploring. The wild life was so beautiful & views breathtaking. We will 100% be regulars to this stunning part of the world. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! The Cawthorne’s

Jacob and Mandy were wonderful hosts. The kids loved visiting the cows, chickens and sheep and playing in the creek and swimming hole. There was lots of space between fellow campers and making a fire at night was great. Jacob took us for a 4WD excursion to a wonderful spot overlooking the valley. Lots of fun was had. We will be back.

We tent camped on The Nile 2 site with family. We had the best time and this was a great site with really good family friendly amenities and things to do. The property had amazing views of the mountains and was a pleasure to wake up early to catch the sunrise with kangaroos and an occasional wombat. The cows and sheep on the farm were also an added charm. Jacob was a great host who was very accommodating to his guests and even helped us with a flat car battery! We all had our own designated fire pits and the sites had good distances between them for privacy between groups. The flushing toilets and showers make life easier for us city folk that need some luxuries. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys beautiful mountain views and friendly farm life! Well done to Jacob and his family. God bless and wish you well.
