Our property is approximately 150 acres, located in the Upper Hunter Valley between the Goulburn River National Park and the Wollemi National Park. In the shadow of Mt Dangar, our land sweeps down to the pristine Goulburn River, one of the main tributaries of the Hunter River.
The property was once part of a huge agricultural station, that was established not long after explorers started to open up the interior to development in colonial times.
We raise cattle and have an olive grove, which we planted in 2001 (our olive brand is Windybank Olives). In 2003 we established The Old Dairy accommodation, by renovating the crumbling 1940's dairy shed at the top of the property.
There are stunning views of the surrounding countryside in all directions from The Old Dairy. It is a place to unwind, relax, reset. Guests have loved the peace & quiet we offer, the chance to get away from everything for a short while. Our road is just off Bylong Valley Way - a visually stunning route through the national parks towards Mudgee, Rylstone, Capertee Valley, Lithgow and the Greater Blue Mountains, tracking along the headwaters of the Goulburn River.
One of the most beautiful drives in New South Wales and within close proximity of terrific campsites like Ganguddy (Dunn's Swamp via Rylstone) and Big River (Gouburn River National Park). Plenty of birds & wildlife (kangaroos make a very regular appearance - as do healthy green tree frogs!).
A beautiful part of the world.The Old Dairy provides plenty of privacy, peace and quiet with spectacular views of surrounding countryside from all vantage points.
Located in the Upper Hunter Valley, in an enviable position between the Wollemi National Park and the Goulburn River National Park, and looking directly at Mt Dangar, the cottage provides guests with a truly unique opportunity to feel a part of the landscape.
Surrounded by lawn and shade trees, there are plenty of spots to pop down a picnic blanket and enjoy the serenity. We provide guests with a hammock to properly take advantage of the peace and quiet. Wander through the olive grove, listen to the birds, pop up to the homestead's veggie garden to gather herbs for dinner, and if you happen upon a clear sky night - make sure you take a blanket outside, lie down and look to the heavens! Extraordinary!
The Old Dairy is truly comfortable, homely and; relaxing. Established in 2003, following the renovation of the crumbling 1940's dairy shed, we've enjoyed two decades of appreciative guests who've absolutely loved the magic of the place.
1 km off the Bylong Valley Way or Greater Blue Mountains Drive, The Old Dairy is the perfect spot to stay en route to places like Mudgee, Rylstone, Bathurst, HillEnd, Sofala, Orange, Lithgow and the Blue Mountains. Bylong Valley Way is truly stunning. You must do this drive once in your lifetime.
