Weekend Trip to Oakenville Farm, Nundle

I had the most magical time away at the Oakenville Farm Bell Tent. What a blissful adventure. From the beautiful Birdlife to the quirky chickens every part of my stay here felt like a home away from home. The lovely Rachel could not have been a more hospitable host, she was always around if you needed a hand or just a good old chat (which I definitely loved to do😂). The best way to spend the long weekend and get away to totally switch off. The tent was beautiful, comfortable and spacious, filled with plenty of blankets and a small heater to stay warm during the cold nights. I highly recommend this beautiful location to anyone who wishes to get away without having to organise anything except food and transport. Thank you so much to the beautiful people I met along the way on this peaceful adventure. It's definitely one I will cherish ❤️✨

My family and I stayed this weekend at the woolshed and had a great time, the shed was nicely decorated and everyone enjoyed a good soak in the tub. We woke up to beautiful views and horses running passed. There was a playful puppy that came every now and then to play with our kids (there favourite part of the stay) We explored the land and found some beautiful spots along the creek. We plan to stay again in the future

Well of you ever want to see a platypus this is the place. You can even do it from a hot bath (or toilet 😄). Many thanks to Sue and Phil who were such freindly and helpful hosts. 10 out of 10 would recommend, especially lovely for a winter get away. Oh and the dogs loved the river walks and freedom.

Sue and Phill are exceptional hosts. The camp is just perfect and enough off grid to think you are a world away. Nothing needed as far as kitchen gear and even an innovative hot shower system. Fishing with lures only is not an issue. Patience and a little quiet will see platypus pop up and say hi... wonderful part of this great country.

Amazing stay for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The Bell tent was great !!!! We loved the space, the property is quiet and well spread out. There were some Tent campers at one end of the property; which didn't bother us at all; as they where quite a good distance away. Can thank the host enough; he was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely book again.

We can't say enough about this property and the hosts. Sue and Phill are extremely welcoming and kind. They are there as much or as little as you need them with lots of knowledge. The touches and decor make you feel like home. Seriously you won't have a better shower. Our furbabies love having this property all to themselves. We will be back again soon.

3 nights at Oakenville Farm, Nundle

What an amazing experience! Full of rustic charm the site has all amenities- cooking area, flushing loo, bath, shower and the most comfortable double bed in a spacious yet very cosy tent with deck area for dining and enjoying the glorious views in the day and star gaze by night. The site is in walking distance to Nundle with its quaint shops, cafes and pub, a short drive to Hanging Rock and its various forest walks and Sheba Dams for a refreshing dip. A great place to enjoy nature and perfect for birdwatching and wild life spotting! Rachel & Gibbo were perfect hosts, giving me plenty of privacy and I was honoured to have the company of Laddy and Fonz, 2 chilled out friendly dogs, for a daytime play and an evening snuggle! I would highly recommend the Bell Tent for an escape from the hassles of the modern world!

We had a wonderful stay in the spacious and comfortable bell tent. The campfire and stargazing at night made it extra special. We loved the company of the two friendly dogs, and the facilities were excellent – clean toilets and a refreshing rainwater shower. A truly memorable and relaxing experience!
