I absolutely fell in love with this container cabin overlooking the mountains. I originally booked for 3 nights but ended up adding an extra night so I could enjoy the pure serenity for a little longer.
Next time, I’d take a mini chainsaw for collecting wood for the fire pits, as there’s so much around to gather in addition to taking a few bags. I’d also recommend taking hiking pants and boots if you plan on wandering around the property, as some parts are a little overgrown, naturally.
I did notice the wheelbarrow tyre was flat after collecting some wood, which was a bit annoying, but I ended up just driving around and loading it into the boot instead.
I loved waking up to the morning mist and the birds singing. Next time I’d definitely take a 4x4 so I could explore more of the property and nearby tracks, as the dirt roads are steep and quite narrow in places.
I took pre-made curry and made a stew over the fire pit, so I didn’t really use the inside kitchen much, as cooking outdoors on the fire pit was far more fun. You do need to bring your own cast iron pot though if you want to do this type of outdoor cooking. I did have my own, but there were heat protection gloves there for this.
John, the host was friendly and super quick to respond to all of my inquiries leading up to my trip.
All in all, I would absolutely rebook this place.

We loved our stay at Nos Astra for 2 nights. The views are amazing, seclusion at its finest. We had fun exploring the property and the stars at night were next level. The cabin itself could benefit from a little bit of love and you are at the mercy of the previous guests regarding the cleanliness of the of the cabin. Overall we loved it.

Nos Astra - Container Cabin
Wonderful location with a stunning view. My friends and I loved it! Instructions were easy to follow and both the sofa bed and main bed were comfortable to sleep on. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed. There were also many other small bits and pieces provided that made our stay extra comfortable (camping chairs, books, etc). The unsealed road may be a little tricky to navigate but we managed to get there in our Hyundai i30.

Our experience at Nos Astra was beyond expectations! It was just what my partner and I needed during the Christmas break as we were able to disconnect, take in the peace of the nature around us whilst enjoying the convenience of everything Nos Astra provided! John was an amazing host - responsive and his guides and Google maps links were amazing and took us on a very beautiful hike to the bridge close by! Would very much recommend Nos Astra to anyone looking for a breathtaking escape ☺️

This is our second trip to Nos Astra it is perfect getaway for my birthday. I love being off grid and being able to “camp” in comfort and not need to bring everything.
Clean comfortable tidy place. Has most things you need, John’s instructions were very detailed and helpful. We drive a Mazda 3 and take the dirt roads with caution but road is accessible.
I love the view, the quietness and this year missed out on the star gazing thanks to the overcast clouds.

Nos Astra - Container Cabin
We stayed here over New Year’s Eve and absolutely loved it. The cabin is beautiful, with large windows and stunning mountain views that make you feel completely immersed in nature. We slept incredibly well, it’s so peaceful and quiet. With a lovely walk down to the water, and we were lucky enough to see kangaroos during our stay. It was deeply relaxing and exactly what we needed to reset.
The cabin itself has a really lovely feel to it. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bathroom and shower are great, and everything is thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay.
One small note for future guests: let’s all take a little extra care to clean up after ourselves, so this special place and beautiful cabin can be enjoyed by everyone.
Highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Nos Astra was a beautiful place to stay! We had a wonderful time and John was super helpful and extremely detailed in the guide/handbook he left us. Lots to do around, swimming, hiking, off-roading and a great way to disconnect. Will be rebooking again!

Great place to stay up in the hills. Very quiet with great views. Plenty of star gazing when clouds allow. Fire set up very good (subject to fire bans). Very easy to find if you follow host’s instructions. Comfortable sleeping arrangements. Easy cooking on four hob gas stove. Electricity and WiFi great. Great host comms.

Nos Astra - Container Cabin
We've spent a wonderful long weekend at Nos Astra with my wife and our 4 year old. Our son loved the trampoline, the small bush walks on the property and roasting marshmallows at the bonfire. I tracked down to Cox River crossing, following some paths leading out from the back of the property and through the woods. We spent the nights laying in the trampoline and gazing at the stars. The property offered great views, was nice and quite and we even encountered some kangaroos and huge monitor goanas on our walks.

We absolutely loved our stay! The place is nestled beautifully in the woods with stunning mountain views — so peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. The accommodation was exactly as described on the website, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The host (John) was just fabulous — incredibly kind, helpful, and super quick to respond to any queries. You can truly tell they care about their guests! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a serene escape in nature.

We absolutely enjoyed our night at Nos Astra. There was plenty of information about the place, how to get there, what to bring, what to be cautioned about etc. Also the place had everything we needed with both indoor and outdoor fireplaces. The mountain view from the place was amazing and sunrise was a cherry on top! Highly recommend :)

We loved staying at Nos Astra, the views were incredible and the cabin had everything we needed. Our dogs had the time of their lives and the kids loved the suspension bridge at the Cox’s river which was amazing after all that rain before our stay! Can’t wait to come back!

Our stay at Nos Astra was amazing from start to finish. The communication and information provided prior to our stay was exceptional. Check-in and check-out details were thorough and easy to follow. Our two furbabies had the time of their lives and their noses didn't stop sniffing with so much space to explore. The container cabin had everything you could need and more for a very comfortable stay. BYO items were clearly stipulated before the commencement of our stay. The firepit was fabulous and a great place to take in the stunning views by day and stars by night. An Astrophotography dream! The indoor fireplace kept us toasty warm at night and there were a lot of indoor entertainment options provided. Very clean, tidy and well maintained with a modern and stylish interior. The composting toilet was very clean and had absolutely no smell at all. The property provided complete privacy aside from the wildlife and the odd friendly cow off in the distance. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your property with us!
