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!

Weekend Trip to Valley's Nest

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!

Weekend Trip to Valley's Nest

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.

Absolutely beautiful spot. Abby had everything set up and offered advice ahead of time to allow for cold weather. I was pleasantly surprised that absolutely everything you could need for a night away was there (utensils, cutlery, lanterns, washing up supplies, everything. just bring your food, drinking water and drinks.

I beautiful experience for a solo night away. Such a magical little spot. The fire bath was a dream, and the cabin was super cosy. The only thing they was a bit tricky was that there was no charge in the provided power bank and all the lanterns were flat, so it was a very dark night. I embraced it, but maybe just bring a torch with you just incase.

Weekend Trip to Valley's Nest

Lovely night away becoming one with the frogs I could hear calling from the valley below. After 5 baths in 23 hours, I’m pretty sure I’m part aqua myself at this point. This place has everything you need to switch off and tune into nature and yourself. The water colours were a nice touch too. Hoping the price stays the same so I can come on the reg! Oh and a bandicoot said hello when i was in the toilet. :)

I had a lovely one night stay at the Nest. Abby and Markus were responsive hosts and they have created such a beautiful space to slow down and relax in. The bath was definitely the highlight!! The bedroom itself was super warm and cosy and I had a fantastic sleep, waking up to the beautiful still valley in the morning. I can’t wait to come back and stay at the Nest again, it was the perfect solo getaway for me. Thank you Abby and Markus :)
