3 nights at The Hideaway Oberon

We absolutely loved our frosty mid-winter getaway at the Hideaway! It’s such a beautiful, secluded little spot, with a pretty creek running nearby and a real feeling of being tucked away from everything. We stayed in mid-July, so probably about as cold as it gets, but the tiny cabin was surprisingly easy to get warm and cosy with the potbelly stove, and the fire-heated shower was an unexpected treat – wonderfully toasty! We definitely overpacked with warm clothes and extra bedding, but it turns out we needed every bit of it. And bring gloves – they were absolutely essential for those frosty mornings! The cabin was clean, comfortable and full of rustic charm, and we really enjoyed the whole off-grid experience. A gorgeous little hideaway for anyone wanting some peace, seclusion and a proper winter escape. We’d definitely recommend it!

Wow, wow, wow! This property is simply amazing. The log cabin is so cosy and full of charm, and the surrounding landscape is absolutely stunning. We loved exploring the land and spotting wildlife – wombats, foxes and so many beautiful birds. It's also perfectly located close to Oberon Dam for a day of fishing. The owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. We do not want to leave!!

Weekend Trip to Artisans Park

Great time away at Artisans with the kids. 2 nights in the army hut, and 2 in the bus. Best of both worlds - we got that off the grid feeling, being in the bush, making fires. But also you had a proper bed to sleep in. Glenn put the generator on for warm showers and some clothes washing in the main building. The bus was a lot roomier and warmer in the middle of winter as you could keep the wood fired heater on low overnight.

4 nights at The Hideaway Oberon

I spent four nights here with my dog, Max, because I needed to escape the noise and pressure of city life. I've always loved the idea of a rustic log cabin in the woods, and Annabelle's Hideaway is exactly that. The hand-built Canadian-style log cabin is beautifully decorated and feels like stepping back in time, while still offering thoughtful comforts like a clean eco toilet, a kitchen with a sink, and a hot shower with an incredible view. Within two nights I was sleeping right through until morning for the first time in years. The simple rhythm of cooking over the fire, collecting water from the creek (or using the tank water provided), no phone reception, and complete peace helps you slow down and leave the stress of everyday life behind. Before long, the sounds of traffic and notifications are replaced by birdsong and silence. If you're looking to truly disconnect and recharge, I can't recommend this place highly enough. PS I used my almost 30 year old 4x4 on demand Honda CR-V and it handled the step right driveway easily with so slip at all but I had good weather with no rain. In wet weather you'll probably need low range 4WD to get back up. You can walk it from the gate however.

2 nights at The Hideaway Oberon

Just unpacked our bags from our stay at The Hideaway - miss it already! After reading the reviews, I trusted my gut & booked Annabelle's cabin for a surprise anniversary getaway. The whole experience was unreal from the drive up to the mountains & into the forest. We were greeted by lush nature & animals. Definitely a 4WD route which our little Jeep handled well. Getting into the property was even more magical. The quaint cabin was completely surrounded by trees. Inside was a well-made queen bed - cosy pillows, quilts & a dining set for 2. The amazing potbelly stove kept us warm for 2 nights. The modern outhouse had an eco toilet, a rainwatern shower with shower stuff & toilet paper lovingly supplied. An adequate kitchenette at the side had a double sink, pans, kettle & dish soap. The bbq was out of use at the time of our stay due to a missing hose. She let us know ahead so we brought our a camping stove. (Pls check at the time of your booking if this has been sorted). I've saved the best for last - the firepit - which my husband loved the most! There's plenty of firewood for our entire stay. Bit of a struggle to keep the fire going when it's been raining but that's the whole point of going off-grid! You just forget about your phone & let nature take over - watching the fire, foraging mushrooms & exploring the path down the river. Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of heaven, Annabelle. It's the perfect glamping adventure for city folk who wish to disconnect!

Weekend Trip to The Hideaway Oberon

This little secluded log cabin was the perfect escape for us and our two dogs. All the instructions were clear and easy to use and we really appreciated the off-grid creature comforts while still feeling the whole camping experience. Cabin bed was amazing too! Would return and would recommend for couples!

Weekend Trip to The Hideaway Oberon

Such a wonderful place to get away for a few nights. The cabin was perfect, and the pot belly stove a bonus, especially as it was zero degrees at night. Plus, having an off-grid hot shower was definitely a luxury. We loved it all, especially the peace and quiet. We slept in our rooftop tent and used the cabin as our place to relax. It would’ve definitely been far more cosy to sleep in the cabin, but we love our set up for sleep, so braced with the cold. Oberon was just a short 10-15 min drive away, where you could get pretty much all you need. Highly recommend Annabelle’s place for those campers who love a little bit of luxury without all the jazz.

Weekend Trip to The Hideaway Oberon

We absolutely loved our recent stay at the cabin in the woods! What a gem to find. Staying here felt like we had stepped into a classic Australian storybook! Nestled privately in a tree cleared area, the wooden cabin was very well presented, neat, tidy and well maintained. The cozy potbelly stove inside the cabin kept us warm and toasty and the outdoor kitchenette area and compost environmental toilet was very clean and well stocked. The hot wood fired shower was an absolute bonus! Our furbabies had the absolute best time and were exhausted by the end of our stay. We are frequent off the grid campers and our stay in the cabin felt like luxury to us. A 4WD is a must for access to and from the cabin. Communication with Annabelle was outstanding. Very timely and all our questions were answered. Thank you so much for having us at your property, Annabelle! We will definitely be back!

2 nights at Artisans Park

My bus-obsessed toddler and I stayed for two nights and loved it. A beautiful sunset spot up behind the bus at the Trig Point, not far to drive to the Turon River for a swim. We'll definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to La Pinata Farm Stay Barn

La Piniata was a big hit with my family. Thank you Tara. We invited our daughters their partners and the four grandchildren for a long weekend away. Arrived the Friday night went to the Bathurst Show Saturday , spent Sunday at La Pinata , before heading back to Sydney on Monday. All ten of us enjoyed our stay. The property is spacious , with plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen and dining area gives you enough room so you don't fall over each other. The kids (2 X 13yr & 2x 10yr) loved the animals - goats , camels etc. The west facing deck was a great spot to watch the sunset with a cocktail. Or take a five minute drive to the Gladstone Hotel and watch the football with a couple of beers , as I did with my son in-laws. In all I would recommend La Pinata for a great extended family break .

Beautiful spot for a quiet and peaceful time away. The cabin and amenities are all in very good condition. Antique pot belly stove heats up to keep you very toasty.
