3 nights at Maalaabidi Naturist Farm Stay

My husband and I stayed at Dingo den cabin at Maalabidi for 3 nights and I could tell this was one of the most beautiful experience we had in a long time. We definitely didn't feel like leaving this beautiful place and warm company of Graham and Janice who made this extremely special for us . We had a perfect time - Stunning vistas, in the middle of a little forest, very close to town, completely dark surroundings which makes it perfect to enjoy the gorgeous night sky, waking up to gorgeous sunrise, having open hot shower right under the milky way , native trees and lot of wildlife around, sitting by the campfire at under the stunning star studded sky and sharing stories with Graham - was an experience we would never forget. The cabin itself was super comfy with a nice kitchenette and fridge and a quite a well stocked kitchen just few steps away in the big shed. Don't miss the coffee at Grahams bar! We felt extremely privileged to listen to the super talented Graham beautifully play the didgeridoo and violin for us. Hard to come across someone so beautiful and creative like him - such a great musician ( he has got a a band), a pilot, with depth of knowledge about Aboriginal culture, practices, love for nature and protecting the environment...someone so full of wisdom. One should definitely spend some time and slowly experience this place. During the day, we did hikes at Warrumbungles, visited Piliga forest, Siding spring observatory and explored the lovely Coonabaraban town.
