Weekend Trip to Valley's Nest
Such a stunning place to stay. We loved it's quirkiness, seclusion and outlook. If you are looking at booking don't think twice, just experience it for yourself. We will definitely be back. Abby is a great host, she communicates well to ensure you are happy. We were happy for sure.

Magical place! Watching sunset over the valley while birds sang and wallabies hopped around us was truly amazing. The road up is steep and very bumpy, fyi - we made it up in our van but it was a bit sketchy without four wheel drive!

What an incredible couple of day my partner and I had here. With incredible views and a beautiful atmosphere we were 100% relaxed, this place was also 100% Frank approved, every time we turned our back he was taking in the beauty and vibes of this place.
We will definitely recommend this to anyone who will listen and hopefully the 3 of us can come back in the future

I stayed here only one night which is not enough to drop into such a lovely place. I look forward to come again and stay few nights and get to enjoy this beautiful bush camp. It is comfy with beautiful views to a valley and surrounded by shady trees. The outdoor bath was amazing and fun to play with. I recommend this place to anyone who likes to be out and in nature in a comfy and simple setup.

1 night at Valley's Nest
I loved the Acomidation and it was such a beautiful spot! Very relaxing. The bath was so nice aswell, the best views!
I feel like it was a bit unclean though, the dishes were not very clean (assuming from previous campers maybe) so we left ours rinsed as we think they need hot water for washing not just cold water.. there wasn’t much to use utensils wise, and we thought there was meant to be so we went without but really struggled, There wasn’t much instructions on things like the bath for example. You do not need a lot of wood and that’s for sure otherwise you can’t get in, it’s way to hot. Maybe something is needed for the bottom of the tub.. it seemed a bit un safe at times with embers flying around in very close to reach the Acomidation from the fire pit being so close.. including while starting the pot belly fire inside the room.. and the burner is so close to the wall of the Acomidation, we were super worried with where it was sat.. the one pot had black stuff all over it and constantly got all over our clothes and tea towels etc.. maybe it just needs a bit of time spent on it to make it that bit better.

Such a beautiful location, abby has thought about everything you need to be comfortable. Kitchen is managable for simple cook ups and the bath is fantastic. Be aware that the charging station is very limited for power. Also wasnt expecting such close neighbours. All in all would definitely recommend and would consider staying again!

This weekend was a birthday present for my wife. She loved it at Valley’s Nest. Calm and peaceful with beautiful view. Very comfy bed, lovely fire that kept us warm. She had a long bath on Sunday taking in the view again. We also loved exploring Fingal and St Mary’s. Great meal that the St Mary’s pub and watched a platypus in the River running past the pub. Great weekend.

Very quiet and secluded, lovely set up and had everything for the perfect camping style.
Bath however is designed for 1 person. As the heating is underneath the bath, it heats up too much.
Just to keep in mind when booking your stay

Weekend Trip to Badger's View Farmstay
We only booked last minute but Diana made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. She was kind enough to accomodate an early check in, so that we could make a nearby wedding on time. We didn’t get much time to ‘hang out’ at the property but it was obvious that there was a lot of care taken in making sure all guests have a memorable and lovely stay.
We had a lovely chat to Diana on the way out and it was great to hear about all of the nearby mountain bike tracks and how they started the cabins (she even let me feed the cows)! I would highly recommend.

To anyone who wants the camping experience with all the creature comforts, look no further than Valleys Nest! Not only were the views spectacular, in daylight & at night, but this place really did make someone like me, who doesn’t like to camp, appreciate the experience even more.
The potbelly stove was bliss in these cold evenings & made sure we were never cold. The long drop was the best we had ever used - super clean & smell less! The swing & open verandah were my constant go-to for taking in the views when not cooking & warming up next to the fire, and the bath - just wow! Super warm with the most spectacular views! The whole experience was just so magical & we wont be only visiting once! For anyone wanting to reconnect to nature without too much effort, this is for sure an experience worth booking! Thank you Abby & Markus for sharing your magical place - it made for the most perfect romantic escape from our regular city life & forced us to reconnect to nature in all the best possible way!

We absolutely loved the Valley's Nest! It's truly charming and has been designed, built and furnished with lots of meaningful touches and details. It gave us the chance to feel totally disconnected - cooking outside and sitting by the fire, while still feeling super comfortable with a warm bed & firebath. And of course, the swing is iconic. Loved it.
