Quiet and peaceful
Beautiful quiet place. Even though it's close to a road there is hardly any traffic. Nicole was lovely. Checked in to make sure all was OK. Unfortunately I had an emergency back home and had to leave early but hopely will be back. Didn't get a chance to check out the little creek that's alongside the property.

We spent 2 nights here, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy the relaxing peace & quiet. Nicole was a fantastic host, with plenty of information and knowledge of the area. The Timor Caves were a highlight as was the drive to and from the area.

Short drive from Murrurundi
Beautifully located in the highlands just a 15-20 minute drive from the cozy town of Murrurundi, so plenty of cool stuff to do in the area. Nearby river Isis is worth exploring you're into fishing or just enjoy chilling by the running water. Property itself has enough space for caravans and large size tents. The access is easy, just drive through the gates and set yourself a camp. You can't go wrong picking this site as your next camping getaway.

This is a great camp spot for a quiet weekend just sitting back and observing nature. Lots of bird life, kangaroos jumping through paddocks and a couple of water monitors down in the creek. On the trip out and in adjacent paddocks there are horses, cows and sheep grazing and the night sky star gazing was just amazing!! Nicole was a lovely host, offering plenty of information on things to see and do in the area should you wish to travel afield. You do need to be fully self contained for this camp as there are no facilities available.
