100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Valley's Nest is your very own rustic cabin in the Fingal Valley, nestled under Bare Rock and overlooking Ben Lomond. The property has a house, shack, 2x A-Frame cabins, gardens and a dam. You access Valley's Nest via a separate driveway and is your very own private retreat that perches above it all. Come and experience the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, wildlife and tranquility. If you're looking for adventure, Bare Rock offers world class rock-climbing and is a short walking distance from Valley's Nest. If mountain-biking is your thing, Derby is an hour away, and 50mins to St Helens. And the exquisite East Coast beaches are 30mins away. If it's rest and relaxation you're needing, we have you covered with stunning views from the cabin and fire-bath, reading materials and paints. The cabin itself has a cosy wood stove heater, and is furnished with a double bed with pillows and a queen-sized doona. There is an undercover outdoor small kitchen with a 2 burner gas stovetop, basic kitchenware (with hand-held coffee grinder and aeropress), sink and solar lighting. The toilet is a private eco-throne with a view to Bare Rock. It is composting and only a short walk from the cabin. We provide you with wood for the casuarina canopied fire-bath, and indoor wood stove, an esky, bed linen, towels, tea-towels, basic kitchenware, cooking basics and toilet paper. Please note this is rustic accommodation, the cabin doesn’t have 240v power only 12v LED lighting. There is no wifi available but there is strong mobile phone service. Fingal is fondly known by the locals as "the Valley", and hosts several coffee and food vans for travellers passing through. Fingal is located just 15 mins to local township St Marys, where you'll find IGA Supermarkets and the popular pub/restaurant St Marys Hotel. Also the gold-prospecting rivers of Mathinna and Mangana are both short drives away.Valley's Nest is your very own rustic cabin in the Fingal Valley, nestled under Bare Rock and overlooking Ben Lomond.

I spent two treasured nights away in this magical little bush getaway. A gorgeous, private, rustic cabin with the most comfortable and cosy bed and a wonderful outdoor tub. I arrived frazzled after a long day, but felt relaxed and uplifted within minutes. I enjoyed a long soak in the bath with views overlooking the valley and then the best nights sleep. There was also a lovely selection of books to read. Fingal township is close bye for coffee and brekkie or the outdoor kitchen worked a treat. Communication with Abby was warm hearted and so accommodating and all directions to the property super easy. I highly recommend this experience as a wonderful way to leave the world behind for a day or two.

We really appreciated our stay at Valley’s nest. The space itself is great, simple and beautiful. The location and views are spot on and the bath is bliss. Abby communication with us was clear and kind and she was generous with our check in time. We are already planning our next ‘retreat’ to Valley’s Nest.

A little ripper

With pets

Loved the thoughtful construction of this little gem using recycled materials and stonework. The view, the woodfired bath and hammock were all hits for us. A qwerky, fun and chillaxing place to stay.

Gorgeous place to stay- very cool to stay sight by the grape vines. We also had dinner and wine tasting which were gorgeous. Glenn and all the staff were so kind and helpful
