33km from Goulburn River National Park · 1 site

Our property is approximately 150 acres, located in the Upper Hunter Valley between the Goulburn River National Park and the Wollemi National Park. In the shadow of Mt Dangar, our land sweeps down to the pristine Goulburn River, one of the main tributaries of the Hunter River. The property was once part of a huge agricultural station, that was established not long after explorers started to open up the interior to development in colonial times. We raise cattle and have an olive grove, which we planted in 2001 (our olive brand is Windybank Olives). In 2003 we established The Old Dairy accommodation, by renovating the crumbling 1940's dairy shed at the top of the property. There are stunning views of the surrounding countryside in all directions from The Old Dairy. It is a place to unwind, relax, reset. Guests have loved the peace & quiet we offer, the chance to get away from everything for a short while. Our road is just off Bylong Valley Way - a visually stunning route through the national parks towards Mudgee, Rylstone, Capertee Valley, Lithgow and the Greater Blue Mountains, tracking along the headwaters of the Goulburn River. One of the most beautiful drives in New South Wales and within close proximity of terrific campsites like Ganguddy (Dunn's Swamp via Rylstone) and Big River (Gouburn River National Park). Plenty of birds & wildlife (kangaroos make a very regular appearance - as do healthy green tree frogs!). A beautiful part of the world.

1 night at The Nile Off Grid family farm

If Australia had a Yellowstone it'd be in Glen Alice. It was so nice waking up to rocky cliff faces in this beautiful valley. So comfy in the tiny home which have absolutely everything you'll need during your stay. Jacob was a great host, telling us all about the local spots and even offering to drive us up to the viewpoint nearby. We got a special morning welcome from the farm's head of cattle management, a little Kelpie called Rabit, and spent the morning checking out the swimming hole and coming back to a warm spa on the deck out the front of our cabin. Such a peaceful retreat, amazing views especially as the sun rises and sets and beautiful starry skies if you're lucky enough to get a clear night. Light a fire and hop in the fire-heated outdoor bath for an extra treat! We got the best mix of rest in nature and adventure.

It is a luxury rustic set up canon. There is all supplied excl. food. Well furnished & cosy. It is located on the top of the hill, secluded area only for you. The bathroom is separate with a shower (all in good condition). You can have a shower while enjoying the bush view :) There is a fire place next to the hut and a large outdoor sitter. Very nice.

Cute cabin to stay if you enjoy simple camping style. At least 15m from another camping site which makes it very private. Fun 4W drive road to go to the camping site. We enjoyed the stay!

1 night at Athenry, Bush Camp Retreat

The caravan stay in Mudgee, hosted by Janette, was a delightful experience. It provided a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that made our group of five feel right at home. The space was well-maintained, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We had our best night out there, enjoying the serene surroundings and creating unforgettable memories. The ambiance was perfect for a getaway with friends, offering a blend of relaxation and fun. I would highly recommend Janette’s caravan to anyone looking to spend quality time with friends in a peaceful yet vibrant setting. It’s an experience not to miss!

The caves are unreal, and the wildlife was incredible — we spotted wombats, kangaroos, and even a few goannas. Highly recommend here if you’re after a true nature experience!
