'The Refinery' at Hartley Vale

Built on the site of the old Hartley Vale oil shale works that closed in 1916, 'The Refinery" was re-established in 2018 as an organic garlic farm now owned by James and Michelle and their two children. The farm features a hempcrete building named 'The Stinking Rose' used for drying and curing garlic that also acts as a big room for garlic feasts during planting (March, April and May each year). The building also houses toilet and shower facilities for guests when camping on site. On some evenings, the sky puts on a real show of golden sun rays with pink, purple and blue clouds while swallows flit across the garden beds catching moths. Our guests like to sit around their campfires watching the spectacular show while kids and dogs run around without the burden of leashes or noise of city traffic.

Above Syd at Trigonometry point

Situated on the edge of the Blue Mountains escarpment, our property has sweeping views overlooking the Sydney basin all the way to the coast. Camp atop our trigonometry point (the highest point in the district) and watch over the city as the lights turn on at dusk. Perfect for NYE and Australia Day fireworks 🎆 or some weekend tranquility just one hour's drive from Sydney.You can use the property as a base to explore the area. It's only 30 mins to Bents Basin, a deep waterhole that forms part of a gorge on the Nepean River, offering swimming, fishing and walking tracks.We are pet friendly! Campfires are also allowed, so you can enjoy the spot around a crackling fire.Campers must have own amenities and leave no trace.

Innisfree, nr Blue Mountains

"Innisfree" is a rural property dedicated to permaculture principles and introspective meditation/nature time. We are in the Kurrajong region, located 75 km from Sydney, to the west of the Hawkesbury River on the lower slopes of the Blue Mountains. ​

The region offers lots of great places to go bushwalking, mountain bike riding, canyoning and abseiling in the Blue Mountain and Wollemi National Parks or canoeing on the Hawkesbury or Grose River. 

Our camping offering is currently only available to those attending our courses. It is not available to the general public at this time. 

We invite course attendees to camp, check out the farm and connect with nature during your stay. The campsite has a flush toilet and hot shower. 

We allow campfires but they must only be lit in the designated areas. 

Redgate Farmstay

Nestled in a mountainscape just off the highway but in a world of its own lies Redgate Farmstay. We host campers and glampers in Tiny Homes. We love to share our special spot on this property.

Redgate dates back to the late 1800s as a site that convicts built a barricade and huts along. You will have a sense of this when you enter through the old rustic cattle sheds and cattle crush. 

We have constructed our Tiny Homes in keeping with the style of the property. Over the driveway is the Biobank Stewardship area (that joins to a quiet State Reserve) that is protecting a rare butterfly, possum and tiny bat. Take walks in this area but tread lightly!

Enjoy the best of the comforts of flushing toilets (supplied by our own rain water tank) and electricity connected to solar whilst enjoying the surrounds of a beautiful spot in nature. 

You'll feel a world away, and best enjoyed with a small group, 2 families or 2 couples! 

Well behaved pets are welcome (there are horses in the adjacent paddock that might come say hello). Enjoy walks on our extensive property and breathe in the mountain air. 

Kayaking is available for a small booking fee of $10 per kayak.

Please note there are other guests at other places in the property (Homestead and Container Home) along our 650m dirt driveway in separate locations.  

Guests can relax beside a tranquil dam and enjoy a private outdoor BBQ firepit area.
