Nice little spot! Attentive host and easy to find. We got in super late and were just after somewhere to rest our heads during a long leg of our road trip. I stumbled upon Abstobys online and just took it but was very pleasantly surprised. Has the basics, abd would have been very happy for stay a little while longer!

Glamping fun with 13 yo.
Glamping on Louise's property was wonderful! Comfy, neat, quiet and well equipped! We loved the fireplace and the touches everywhere. Will return!

My sister and I loved camping at this property. It was a great location - only 15 minute drive to Nelson Bay. We had a nice spot right on the creek. The property was well maintained and the facilities were great! Hot water shower and flushing toilet as well as fire pits and wood for us to use. I will say - the site felt quite close to the owner’s house but we felt totally private despite that. Would absolutely recommend this spot! Thank you for having us.
