Your own fireplace, bookshelf, sideboard kitchenette, toaster, hot plate, coffee machine, choice of teas - you'll never leave your beanbag. Also: Reiki Treatments, Meditation classes, visit the suspended bed in the treehouse or walk the labyrinth plus free infrared sauna.
Tomah Retreat is a precious retreat on 5 lush acres in the Blue Mountains where the only thing that is farmed are vegetables with a great big dollop of love and compassion - here the animals roam free.
The Tomah Retreat has been the base for the International House of Reiki and meditation classes since 2002 and continues to be so. When it's not busy with that, it is creating a healing space for individuals or couples who are looking to get away from a busy world. In other words - YOU.
The Tomah Retreat is also a healing home for many animals who have come from rescue backgrounds.
There are 2 more couples studios on the property, CHILL and BREATHE, which you can book to create an entire retreat for your family and/or friends.
Bronwen has put together a number of unique experiences that you can enjoy when you stay at the Tomah Retreat. Bronwen will specifically cater these treatments or classes to your needs.
Bookings are essential and can be made at "Tomah Retreat dot com".
The gardens are shared with the guests of the other 2 studios on the property, Studio Breathe and Studio Chill.
Ask Bronwen to tell you a little about the Living Labyrinth she built from 800 dwarf buxus plants - before you go and walk it. It's a great contemplative tool and will support your inner healing during your stay.
Head up to the Treehouse and make yourself comfortable in the suspended ergoflex queen bed, let the breeze tussle your hair, and watch the world go by - sometimes all we need is somewhere quiet to sit and BE for a while, before heading back into the fray.
The infrared sauna sits in its own building where you can look out over the garden while enjoying its wonderful health benefits. It's free to enjoy, just book your time with Bronwen when you arrive.
The smallest things can be healing, like snuggling up in front of the firepit, patting a cat, reading one of our many self-help books or novels, drinking tea, just listening to the birds, or playing with a dog.
We are obviously being extra careful at this time. We have taken precautions to increase cleaning and disinfection, particularly on frequently touched surfaces. We're also asking that you please practice safe hygiene and remain at home if you feel unwell.

The Blue Mountains might be famous for clean, mountain air, but in its foothills, it’s also famous for fun, when you check into Ingenia Holidays Nepean River.
Backing onto the Nepean River, the park has accommodation options to suit every format of traveller with both families, couples and sporting enthusiasts making tracks to its Emu Plains location.
With a menu of cabins that range from 2 to 12 guests and cottages, camping and caravan sites in between, there’s plenty of space to settle into holiday-mode at Ingenia Holidays Nepean River.
Sure you could cook in your cabin or the camp kitchen and BBQ facilities onsite, but most choose to explore the Nepean River setting and wander to O’Donoghues Irish Pub, Nutrition Station or the Nepean Rowing Club, all nearby, for a bite to eat.
When you’re not exploring the onsite swimming pool or playground, outdoor-lovers should take note – you’re staying dangerously close to Cables Wake Park Penrith for a fun-filled family day out.
For something at slower speed, the Nepean River calls for fishing with the chance of reeling in your catch for dinner tonight.

Your own fireplace, bookshelf, sideboard kitchenette, toaster, hot plate, coffee machine, choice of teas - you'll never leave your beanbag. Also: Reiki Treatments, Meditation classes, visit the suspended bed in the treehouse or walk the labyrinth plus free infrared sauna.
Tomah Retreat is a precious retreat on 5 lush acres in the Blue Mountains where the only thing that is farmed are vegetables with a great big dollop of love and compassion - here the animals roam free.
The Tomah Retreat has been the base for the International House of Reiki and meditation classes since 2002 and continues to be so. When it's not busy with that, it is creating a healing space for individuals or couples who are looking to get away from a busy world. In other words - YOU.
The Tomah Retreat is also a healing home for many animals who have come from rescue backgrounds.
There are 2 more couples studios on the property, CHILL and BREATHE, which you can book to create an entire retreat for your family and/or friends.
Bronwen has put together a number of unique experiences that you can enjoy when you stay at the Tomah Retreat. Bronwen will specifically cater these treatments or classes to your needs.
Bookings are essential and can be made at "Tomah Retreat dot com".
The gardens are shared with the guests of the other 2 studios on the property, Studio Breathe and Studio Chill.
Ask Bronwen to tell you a little about the Living Labyrinth she built from 800 dwarf buxus plants - before you go and walk it. It's a great contemplative tool and will support your inner healing during your stay.
Head up to the Treehouse and make yourself comfortable in the suspended ergoflex queen bed, let the breeze tussle your hair, and watch the world go by - sometimes all we need is somewhere quiet to sit and BE for a while, before heading back into the fray.
The infrared sauna sits in its own building where you can look out over the garden while enjoying its wonderful health benefits. It's free to enjoy, just book your time with Bronwen when you arrive.
The smallest things can be healing, like snuggling up in front of the firepit, patting a cat, reading one of our many self-help books or novels, drinking tea, just listening to the birds, or playing with a dog.
We are obviously being extra careful at this time. We have taken precautions to increase cleaning and disinfection, particularly on frequently touched surfaces. We're also asking that you please practice safe hygiene and remain at home if you feel unwell.

Backing onto the Nepean River, the park has accommodation options to suit every format of traveller with both families, couples and sporting enthusiasts making tracks to its Emu Plains location.
With a menu of cabins that range from 2 to 12 guests and cottages, camping and caravan sites in between, there’s plenty of space to settle into holiday-mode at Ingenia Holidays Nepean River.
Sure you could cook in your cabin or the camp kitchen and BBQ facilities onsite, but most choose to explore the Nepean River setting and wander to O’Donoghues Irish Pub, Nutrition Station or the Nepean Rowing Club, all nearby, for a bite to eat.
When you’re not exploring the onsite swimming pool or playground, outdoor-lovers should take note – you’re staying dangerously close to Cables Wake Park Penrith for a fun-filled family day out.
For something at slower speed, the Nepean River calls for fishing with the chance of reeling in your catch for dinner tonight.

We loved our stay at Nos Astra for 2 nights. The views are amazing, seclusion at its finest. We had fun exploring the property and the stars at night were next level. The cabin itself could benefit from a little bit of love and you are at the mercy of the previous guests regarding the cleanliness of the of the cabin. Overall we loved it.

Our family had the most wonderful stay at The Rosewood. We travelled with two children aged 7 and 4, and it was absolutely perfect for a family getaway.
The bell tent was very comfortable, with a double/queen bed for us and two single mattresses on the floor for the kids. There was a dining table inside the tent and a Weber BBQ outside, which we used for both breakfast and dinner — such a great setup.
The private shower, toilet, fridge and kettle were located in the main house out the back, around a short walk from the tent (approximately 50 metres). It was private and well set up.
One of our favourite experiences was the fireplace by the river, where we enjoyed making s’mores and marshmallows with the kids (we brought our own lighters and fire starters). The campsite is right beside the creek and offered plenty of opportunities for exploring. The terrain isn’t flat, so just something to be mindful of, but we did find a lovely section with running water very close to the camp that was perfect for the kids to play in.
The absolute highlight of our stay was meeting the animals — the goats Bon Bon, Cutlet and Cookie, and the alpacas Humphrey and Marshall. We were lucky enough to help with feeding time, and the kids still talk about it as the best part of the trip.
The host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to families.

If you’re looking to unplug this is the spot. The cabin is the perfect definition of 'cozy' It’s simple, clean, and exactly what the soul needs to reset. We’ll definitely be back for another dose of mountain magic

My wife, little kiddies (5y/o,3y/o) and I recently stayed at what can only be described as a peaceful, private retreat with lots of fun to be had. From feeding the delightful goats, Cookie, Cutlet and Bon Bon, and alpacas, Marshall and Humphrey, which if your kids are anything like mine, animal crazy! Then they will love the closeness from the spacious tent, a short walk or toddle to the fence to greet them each morning. Hosts were warm and welcoming, also took time for a chat while feeding the animals which again was a highlight for the kids. After feeding time a short walk down to the river for a cool dip was refreshing way to start the day. It felt like the river was right there in the backyard. Charming fire pit with logs for sitting. Hosts set out firewood for our convenience. Amenities were considered too, very much felt like a great balance of glamping while still being out below the stars at night. As soon as we left my daughter was asking, rather telling me we need to drive back to make the next feeding time.

4 nights at Rosewood Farm's Riverside Glamping
The way Melissa and her family have allowed people to experience the beauty of where they live is very unique. The location is stunning; right on the Bargo River with amazing birds, dragonflies, lizards and their own beautiful alpaccas and goats. Seeing/being part of the animals daily feeding routine was so good to watch or be part of. The tent set up is perfect with chairs, a fire pit, cooking utensils, a weber bbq and many other items to make your stay very easy! Beds were super comfy. The family house is nearby and they allow use of the downstairs bathroom/laundry/fridge facilities... which is amazing! Definitely a place to be respected. Theres a short walk from car parking area to site, but once youre set up, this place is bliss. The township of Tahmoor is so close and you would never know it 💚💙

Weekend Trip to Halifax Hill
Lovely shack creatively situated on a rocky outcrop beside the McDonald river.
It has all the charm of a yesteryear hideaway. It’s an experience not a polished hotel, think secret mountain recluse, take your book, your art stuff and a bottle of wine.
we loved the bush views and sounds, the location and the quirk!
Swimming in the river near by, zipping into town for a coffee or beer and enjoying the cute town of St Albans. Loved it so much we can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful location with a stunning view. My friends and I loved it! Instructions were easy to follow and both the sofa bed and main bed were comfortable to sleep on. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed. There were also many other small bits and pieces provided that made our stay extra comfortable (camping chairs, books, etc). The unsealed road may be a little tricky to navigate but we managed to get there in our Hyundai i30.

This is our second trip to Nos Astra it is perfect getaway for my birthday. I love being off grid and being able to “camp” in comfort and not need to bring everything.
Clean comfortable tidy place. Has most things you need, John’s instructions were very detailed and helpful. We drive a Mazda 3 and take the dirt roads with caution but road is accessible.
I love the view, the quietness and this year missed out on the star gazing thanks to the overcast clouds.

We stayed here over New Year’s Eve and absolutely loved it. The cabin is beautiful, with large windows and stunning mountain views that make you feel completely immersed in nature. We slept incredibly well, it’s so peaceful and quiet. With a lovely walk down to the water, and we were lucky enough to see kangaroos during our stay. It was deeply relaxing and exactly what we needed to reset.
The cabin itself has a really lovely feel to it. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bathroom and shower are great, and everything is thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay.
One small note for future guests: let’s all take a little extra care to clean up after ourselves, so this special place and beautiful cabin can be enjoyed by everyone.
Highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Our experience at Nos Astra was beyond expectations! It was just what my partner and I needed during the Christmas break as we were able to disconnect, take in the peace of the nature around us whilst enjoying the convenience of everything Nos Astra provided! John was an amazing host - responsive and his guides and Google maps links were amazing and took us on a very beautiful hike to the bridge close by! Would very much recommend Nos Astra to anyone looking for a breathtaking escape ☺️

1 night at K2 River Island Nature Retreat
It's a beautiful place and worth the drive.
Be sure to pack food that you can cook or put in the fridge or heat.
There's 2 patches of road towards the end that are a bit rough but nothing my tiny MG couldn't handle.
It's a great place. Lots of other things to do as well like pool, billiard, table tennis. Shared bathroom area is very very close and very convenient. Plenty of water.
The help there is a pure gentleman and happy to help off times as well. It was a great trip overall.
