Nestled in the forested mountains of Mount Royal within the Barrington Tops in the northern Hunter Valley, visitors can discover a tranquil haven comprising a self-contained eco-cabin, bunkhouse lodging, and bush camping for groups. This idyllic retreat offers serenity surrounded by th forest and breathtaking 80-kilometre vistas over the valley, all underscored by the refreshing mountain air. Notably, the property ensures guests' exclusive enjoyment, eliminating the need for sharing with others.
Located approximately three hours north of Sydney, it is conveniently positioned an hour away from the renowned Hunter Valley vineyards and in close proximity to the UNESCO-listed Barrington Wilderness. Here, guests can savour the sight of kangaroos and the melodies of forest birds, explore leisurely hiking trails, ascend nearby peaks for awe-inspiring panoramas, or merely unwind on the verandah.
The three-bedroom eco-cabin showcases an eco-conscious design with sustainable elements like solar electricity and a wood-fired stove for cooking and water heating. For those who seek a more rustic experience, a bunkhouse and secluded camping areas await in their private forest clearing, where groups can bask in the natural surroundings. Here, there is no internet connection or television to divert attention from the splendour of the outdoors.
