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.

Lovely shack creatively situated on a rocky outcrop beside the McDonald river.
It has all the charm of a yesteryear hideaway. It’s an experience not a polished hotel, think secret mountain recluse, take your book, your art stuff and a bottle of wine.
we loved the bush views and sounds, the location and the quirk!
Swimming in the river near by, zipping into town for a coffee or beer and enjoying the cute town of St Albans. Loved it so much we can’t wait to come back!

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.

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.

Weekend Trip to Silky Oaks Flower Farm
A very beautiful place with stunning nature. We really enjoyed the peaceful environment, it’s a great spot to disconnect, clear your mind, and properly relax. Everything we needed was provided and well organised.
One of the port-a-loos was unfortunately out of order during our stay, so we had to walk a bit further to use the other toilet, which was a little inconvenient at night. However, this was a minor issue compared to the overall experience.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

We stayed at the Flash Camp over New Years. I was really impressed with the amenities, Bbq's & toiletries.
The whole site is very family & kid friendly. They put on an inflatable water slide for the kids in the afternoons, there's a park area with slack lines & a flying fox plus a soccer field.
The water was beautiful & peaceful, plenty of shallow areas for the kids & deeper parts for a swim.
I highly recommend Jilla, we'll be back!!
Thanks for having us Philip

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.

2 nights at Wanderlust Retreat
Beautiful place. We would definitely go back again for some peace and quiet in the wilderness. Distance is not too bad as well given that it’s only 2.5 hours away from Sydney.
Only thing I would want to have differently would be a quick touch up on the trail markers/ropes for the nearby trail. Some of the trees where the markers/ropes are placed have fallen. Nonetheless still an amazing place. 15/10 overall!

Weekend Trip to Wanderlust Retreat
A tranquil place with good amenities. The bell tent was perfect for two, and there were plenty of areas to explore around the camp - no need to leave at all. It was the ideal quiet weekend getaway, and the stars at night were absolutely beautiful. Loved the chickens and geese’s roaming ☺️
