The Nile Farmstay - Cabin with cliff views, hiking trails, heated spa

A countryside retreat.
The Capertee Valley is world renown for its bird-watching but this property is also a working farm so you can visit our cows, sheep, chickens or pick some fruit from the trees.
We have 420 acres for you to explore with creeks, mountain bike trails and direct access to the Wollemi National Park.
Our wildlife spotting includes wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, goannas and echidnas to name a few.

The cabin has its own deck and a large fire pit.
Each window in the cabin offers stunning mountain and nature views.

We are in a secluded location if you are looking for a peaceful stay.
The drive through the Capertee Valley to our property is spectacular.
The only sounds you will hear are our sheep, cows and the bird life.

If you enjoy hiking then explore our 420 acres which is a mix of grazing land, creeks, bush tracks, swimming holes and rainforest like gullies. Our property borders Wollemi National Park and we have direct access to it.
The Glen Alice Trail & The Bicentennial Trail are hiking tracks that cross through our property.

If you enjoy swimming we have several sandy creeks, a pristine swimming hole and a heated swim spa that can accomodate large groups.

Feel free to pick the fruit that is in season from our trees. We grow figs, lemons, persimmon, plums, pears and mulberries to name a few.

The fire pit right beside the cabin is very popular with our guests. You can cook dinner over the fire or enjoy watching the sunset colours on the cliffs. We offer firewood for your stay at a small cost or feel free to bring your own.
When the sun goes down the star gazing is spectacular.
