Ellenborough Cabin
John's cabin was perfect to rest and recharge: surrounded by gorgeous green foliage and peaceful spots to walkabout. The cows were so entertaining and the house had everything I needed. I would definitely stay again!

Mountain Top Shack
We had a great stay at John's mountain shack over new years eve. John was really helpful and gave spot on navigations for the 4WD track to the site. We had a Landcruiser so didn't have any trouble on the road/track. The shack had everything we needed, we mainly used our camping supplies and put our mattress inside rather than set up our tent, which you could easily do.
The view was incredible! The shack is also really close to Ellenborough Falls which I definitely recommend checking out.

Mountain Top Shack
Stunning
The drive to the shack is amazing. You will need some 4WD skills and an appropriate vehicle but it’s definitely part of the experience. The view is mind blowing we slept in our swag under the stars, having the shack to store our stuff and take shelter in every now and again is the perfect comfort camping experience. The host was amazing and even thought to check in on us when leaving as there had been a light rain on the 4WD track. Also 5 star rating for the cows they were so friendly, one licked my ear 😛.

Yes yes yes
Great views, cool cows, isolated and beautiful. Very rural make sure you have a decent 2WD or 4WD.

Mountain Top Shack
Beautiful location, one not to miss!
The host was super helpful with directions, follow them and you won’t get lost - look out for the sign and the white plate marking the entrance to the track (see photo)
Expect branches to scratch the car, etc and once you get to the gum tree on the high / low bit, after the second gate, stick to the left is the correct route to the top.

Most amazing view and gorgeous environment. Bare bones but very grounding and relaxing. Cows came right to the door to say hi!

It's a great place for spending a couple of nights. You have a stunning 360° view and creeks to visit and have more fun. It's not a luxury hotel, but you have a warm shower and two bedrooms with two beds/mattresses. Yes, we did have a great time, and yes, we do recommend this place :)

Mountain Top Shack
On top of the mountain
The mountain shack is on top of the mountain with stunning views all around. You feel like you are far away from civilisation, yet only 30min from Wauchope. It's a fair off road uphill drive in your 4wd to get there and well worth it. There are plenty of curious cows around to keep you entertained, whilst watching the sun rise and set through distant eucalyptus mist. Dangling the legs over the deck with a cold beverage in hand enjoying this beautiful landscape was bliss. The shack is a great basic shelter with a couch, table, chairs, and one mattress. Bring your own camping extras you need. Rainwater tank had fresh drinking water.

Mountain Top Shack
Amazing place to camp if you wanna get away from everything and still indoors! view is amazing, unfortunately the weather didn’t help us much but i’d definitely come back. proper 4wd is a must to go up the mountain.

Life in the clouds
This was a unreal experience . John provided us with a map which led us direct to the track up-to the mountain . The drive up to the top definitely needs a 4wd . The shack had everything you needed . We stayed in a swag outside but you can sleep inside on sofa bed . The fresh water shower was amazing and cold and was perfect before enjoying my cup of coffee on the outside area . The cows came and said hi and was very comical . We had an amazing time and waking up in the clouds . I would recommend this 10373738 percent !
John was a true gent and a great host !
Thanks

Tranquil, rustic, accommodating host and friendly cows. Couldn’t ask for much more from a quiet cabin in the hills.

Awesome farm experience
This property was simply beautiful. 700 acres of lush green valleys, a bubbling creek and extensive forest. I had an entire valley to myself, also sharing with the cows, horses, kangaroos, frogs and many curious insects. John was an absolute legend, took me for a cross country motorbike adventure to show me around his property. Although it was raining a lot I enjoyed spending time bathing in the creek, sheltering under trees, and talking to the many animals. If I were to buy a farm it would be something like this..

Ellenborough Shack - Unreal
Big thanks to John for opening his amazing property to the public. This is one of those places you don’t want anyone else to find out about! The photos don’t do the views justice. Sunrise above the fog, and the most amazing stars at night. The fireplace was a godsend and it was great to take our doggo along for the trip. If you’re after a weekend in a spot away from everything, this is the spot for you.
A note worth making is that you’ll need a car that can handle the dirt roads and a 4wd track to the camp.
Will 100% be back, thanks for an unreal long weekend.
