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.

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.

We had a beautiful stay at Eagles View campsite! Directions were accurate. Dave came and met us at the gate escorting us there. He is very friendly and engaging giving us good directions and advice, but then left us alone until we said our goodbyes.
The property is HUGE and full of untapped wonders. We have a 4WD vehicle and made the most of our stay wondering the property in it. It was a bit hot for hiking and then a storm front came through later and overnight which was spectacular from that high vantage point. Before the worst of the storm hit early in the morning the sky was clear enough in places to see the full moon and Orion’s Belt. Magical!💚
Highly recommended. Thanks David. We will definitely be back for a more extended stay.

The whole Hillside setup is just awesome. Large private sites with toilet facilities. The campsites are well maintained and each has it's own unique characteristics. Hidden Valley is just fantastic .... it's like being in a different world. Lot's of 4WD tracks of varying difficulty to try out. Wildlife is everywhere, and the starscape is just beautiful. Wholly recommend any of the sites here. Dave our host was very helpful ensuring we had everything we needed.

David owns a stunning, expansive property set amongst the hills, filled with caves, walking tracks, and fantastic 4WDing opportunities. The tracks are meticulously formed throughout the property, making it a pleasure to explore and enjoy.
David was welcoming and helpful while still giving us plenty of space to relax and unwind. Toilets at each campsite were greatly appreciated and added to the comfort of our stay.
Although we weren’t able to have a campfire during our visit, it didn’t dampen the experience, especially after seeing the devastating effects of past bushfires in the area.
A truly memorable place to stay.

Really spacious campsite and super clean toilet. The property is beautiful and very peaceful. David was great to deal with, easy to communicate with and incredibly helpful, especially when we were having some car trouble.
We were hoping to see a wombat, and David pointed us to the best campsite for it and he was right! We were so excited to spot one. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

Dave has an amazing property. So many sites, each with a port-a-loo and fire pit. Total fire ban however when we visited in Jan'26. Pleanty of moderate 4WD tracks and bush walking trails, with tree markers so you cant get lost. The country was so dry during our stay that the creeks were dry and barely any water flowing in Bow River. Dave was a friendly host and informative about the area. Highly recommend. We'll likely revisit in the winter to experience the contrast.

Camping here was beautiful. The owners are clearly very proud of their land and have kept the campsites secluded and private. They haven't tried to rort campers and turn it into a money-making scheme, which made camping here even more special. We were completely isolated, and the self made composting toilets were beautifully clean. We are already planning another trip back here. I hope it remains as quiet and secluded, as it was genuinely a great site

We loved our stay at Dave’s place near Merriwa. There was so much to see and explore — we saw eagles, emus, heaps of kangaroos and wallabies during our stay.
We really appreciated how far apart the campsites are, which gave our family plenty of privacy and made it feel super peaceful and secluded. Dave has also put a lot of thought into the little details, like providing port-a-loos and clean water for washing up and showering, which made camping really comfortable.
Dave was a great host and took the time to show us around, share info about the property and answer all our questions. There are also signs and maps around to help you find your way easily.
We’d happily come back and would definitely recommend staying here!

This is beautiful land, and the camps feel like you are truly in the wilderness (apart from the IBC and very handy portaloos!).
It was really dry when we came, but the river still ran and even in the middle of summer it was not too hot to explore. The nights are cool and the sky is so clear, in such an open landscape we pitched our swag in the middle of the paddock and felt like we were part of the night sky.
The 4WD tracks and marked trails are really great, we found some amazing sites, the caves dotted around are worth exploring.

Clear directions were provided to the property, and David met us on arrival, showed us to our site, and took the time to talk us through things to do in the area.
The property is huge, with plenty of walking trails and 4WD tracks to keep you occupied. All campsites are very well spaced, giving a great sense of privacy.
Sites are flat, spacious, and private, and the portaloo toilets at each site were clean and well maintained.
The location is ideal — right on the doorstep of the national park and only a short drive to town if you need supplies or feel like grabbing a pie.
We’ll definitely be back.

Our family’s first time camping and we had an amazing time. Directions were clear, and the site was clean. Simple amenities, which were also clean. We met the host, who was absolutely lovely and very welcoming. Fishing available, we recommend bringing lures. The night sky was full of more stars than we’ve ever seen in our lives. It was peaceful, quiet, and had plenty of local wildlife coming to drink from the waterhole. Highly recommend this camping site.
