1885 Trig Station Hut

We stayed in the Trig hut as a treat(we usually camp so the hut was a luxury ). Really cosy fire, all you need for cooking and bonus hot shower and toilet. We loved it.

1949 London Bus

Spectacular views and accomm

Watching the sunrise over the beautiful valley surrounding the London Bus in the morning and then the sunset from the short Trigpoint walk at the top of the hill on the same day was already enough to make this the most beautiful hipcamp site I've experienced. The kids *loved* being able to sleep on the London Bus (it was a suprise!) and on top of all that, enjoyed the paddleboats on Glenn's dam and exploring the other displays within Artisans Park. Glenn was an excellent host, being friendly and helpful in accommodating us and telling us about the property as well as helping us with some kindling which we'd forgotten for our firewood. It was a beautiful two nights.

1949 London Bus

That place is amazing, it's so peaceful it's worth it if you're looking for something to relax, it has beautiful views, the sunrise, the sunset and seeing the stars were the most beautiful things we enjoyed during our stay, the accommodation on the bus is very very comfortable and clean. We really just wanted to relax and it exceeded our expectations, and Glenn, is a very friendly host, was attentive and responded quickly. We definitely recommends it and would go again. 💕

Highly recommend staying here

Had an amazing time at the London Bus. Truly a unique experience. It exceeded all our expectations. Breathtaking views, clean accomodation, well-equipred cooking appliances (gas stove and outdoor gas bbq), comfy beds with pillows and blankets, hot shower and flushing toilet, and more! Roaming around Artisans Park was also a lot of fun and there are a lot of quirky and unique things to see and do. Glenn was a great host and he took the time to show us around when he saw us exploring.

1940 WW2 Army Communication Tower

We had such a great trip! Glen was accommodating and made us feel very welcome straight away. The land is beautiful and clean with so much attention to detail. The views from all over were breathtaking. We took the paddle boats out around the dam which was so much fun and after we had a swim in the flooded old mine which was such a cool experience. A true hidden gem would definitely recommend!

1949 London Bus

Amazing views and a GREAT stay!

My husband and I with our 3yo daughter absolutely loved our weekend stay on the bus. What an experience from beginning to end. The views were phenomenal, the peace and quiet was much needed. We saw mountain goats, lots of wallabies and kangaroos and some sheep all came by to visit. Glenn was brilliant, very friendly and let us explore all the land and buildings/cabins. We had so much fun on the pedal boats on the blue lagoon each day. We will definitely be back to experience the bus in winter so we can also enjoy the fireplace and light a camp fire. Thank you Glenn for a great weekend to remember
