"Reynella" The Hut

100% (2)

Cabin · Sleeps 2 · 1 bed · 1 toilet

Reynella is a restored and well appointed hut with breathtaking views. This charming light filled hut was originally a feed shed and has been completely renovated. It is a studio with a queen bed, lounge room, TV, kitchen and bathroom/laundry (wifi). There is a bbq area provided on the front deck. The construction of the hut has adopted passive house standards with an air filtration system and is an airtight building. We have created a space to relax, wind down and enjoy the country views with a sense of peace and privacy. Whether you have had a day of discovery around the New England region of waterfalls and gorges or are on your way through the area this hut is sure to impress. It is easy access to take a walk down to the river on the property (and if you are lucky spot the platypus) or explore Blue Hole Swimming area and Gara Gorge being a short 2 minute drive from the hut.

This campsite by the river offers a peaceful retreat just a short drive from Armidale, perfect for those who enjoy nature and tranquility. Campers appreciate the beautiful scenery, from rolling hills to a flowing creek, and often mention the spacious and well-maintained sites. The friendly hosts, Kelly and Shane, along with their son Jack, who provides firewood, add a personal touch to the stay. Despite occasional weather challenges, the campsite remains a favorite for its natural beauty and proximity to local attractions like Gara Gorge.

Lovely river camp

Excellent spot by the river and couldn’t have picked a better place for peace and quiet. Best to have a 4x4 just in case if towing a van as dirt track to river may be too step for a car. Can’t wait to go back.

What a beautiful spot, right on the river! The hosts were super friendly and came down to check in and make sure everything was good. It’s a beautiful part of the world and you’d be silly to look past staying here! Directions to the property were easy to follow, the road in/out of the property is suitable for car and caravan with no issues!

We loved the spot down by the river as it was so quiet as we only had our off road van and our friends van to the entire area. The river was running nice but our weather was overcast but that didn’t stop us having a great time. We can definitely recommend this Hip Camp but you really need a 4 x 4 to get out especially if it rained to get up the hill. The track was good for us to get out. We can’t wait to come back down from QLD.

The sites were flat all by the rambling river, we were the first ones in so had them on the sites as they weren’t busy. Close to Armidale and the National park sites great base for this area. The wood was fantastic from jack well worth getting

Stunning spot! Well maintained sites, close to town and easy access to sites. Beautiful national park right down the road. Hosts were lovely and welcoming. Sites are well spaced and dogs had a ball swimming in the river.
