The Bower is a very special place. We had the most wonderful time connecting as a family in nature enjoying the beautiful set up that Rachel & Matt have so thoughtfully created. The attention to detail is second to none, the yurt is so comfortable, the outdoor kitchen and showers set up is brilliant, and the heated bath under the stars is unforgettable. Moreover, the wallabies bouncing across the field, and the little creek behind the yurt gave us hours of nature’s best entertainment.

Weekend Trip to Lovedale Farm Stay & Horseriding

Incredible experience. Such a beautiful property and welcoming hosts. Margaret was lovely to deal with and breakkie at their pub in town The Thirsty Horse was great too! We thoroughly enjoyed the horse riding and would do it again. Highly recommend staying for a weekend out of town and something different and equally as good to the wineries in the area

2 nights at Critterland - Cabin & Camping

Beautiful peaceful place to unwind. The cabin is well equipped and very comfortable. Lovely welcoming hosts. We will certainly be back and will bring our van next visit to camp along side the very pretty brook.

Weekend Trip to The Bower Farm

We only stayed at the glamping site for one night, but wow — what a magical time we had! The vast land, with wallabies and cows and birds singing. The amazing amenities: the outdoor tub, the kitchen, the comforts of the tent. The highlight was having a hot bath under the starry sky and topping it off with marshmallows by the fire. The best sleep too. Matt and Rachel went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Core memories unlocked! Thank you 🤍

Weekend Trip to Abstobys Retreat

It was my partner and I’s first time glamping/camping and we really enjoyed it. The tent had everything we needed and the bed was super comfortable. Definitely will be back during our next break if we ever get the chance to travel to Nelson Bay.

2 nights at The Bower Farm

Beyond expectations! Matt was really helpful explaining how everything worked, and what to do in the surroundings. Pitched an extra tent for the kids. Apart from that, the site is very beautiful.

6 nights at Myall View Hideaway

We loved camping here with the use of the cabin - a top spot with perfect facilities. The outdoor shower was a huge hit! Great central location to explore the surrounding location from Tea Gardens, Bluies Beach and throughout the national park. Thanks for having us! We’ll be back.
