Nulla Nulla Blacksmiths Retreat, New South Wales

We are a remote nature retreat & natural produce growers on the fertile alluvial plains of a pristine watercourse in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, a major pristine watercourse valley that flows into the beautiful Macleay River, mid-north coast  65 k's west of Kempsey.

The property is a 'frying-pan' shape, and the crystal clear flowing water,
over its quartz pebbly bed, encircling the entire property like a moat, with heritage wooden bridges on and off the property. Protected stands of Casuarina and rainforest borders the creek, surrounded by New England National Park, one of the largest National Parks in Australia.

The lush green lawns & parklike grounds, the exotic colourful birdlife, the quietness, the natural beauty of the area is calming on the soul, and you will leave recalibrated and touched by nature.

The nightly display of the milky way in a huge star-filled night sky is considered one of the clearest in Australia.

We offer only two camping spots. Both shady, flat, park-like lawn creek side and well away from each other, to keep the experience private and exclusive.  Easy set up with drive in access under the dappled shade of the Casuarina trees, wake up to the view of the creek flowing gently over the quartz pebbles with the dense forest beyond.

Enjoy the deep swimming hole under the ol' wooden bridge nearby or wander through the gardens and orchards on the alluvial plains of this beautiful remote valley, drop into Platypus pool for a few early morning laps. Climb the rocks to the spirit pools and secret water fall, a watercourse that runs into the creek.  Bring your water shoes, walk, swim & explore this beautiful ancient natural creek valley. Take an early morning jog or stroll up the country road into the hinterland of the Great Dividing range. Lie back under the stars and be amazed by the the universe traversing above. Take your lounger down to the creek edge with that book you have been meaning to read or just kick back in a hammock and watch the soft Casuarina needles sway in the breeze.  

Dogs are welcome but must be supervised at all times as we have free range chooks. And please no incessant barking to spoil the retreat's peaceful vibe !

We generally do have guests in the forest cabin though and ask you to respect their privacy and aim at keeping the vibe peaceful (and visa versa!).
