Cabin (Entire Place)

Max Sleeps 4
1 Bedroom
1 Bathroom
42 m²
Secluded shipping container cabin on elevated location with direct on view of the Narrow Neck Plateau, resting right on the famous Six Foot Track hike, minutes away from the Coxs River and the Bowtell's suspension bridge.. 

Absolute privacy and a stunning spot to watch the sun set and stars rise. The entire 100 acre property is yours to explore with the booking including a creek with and waterfall after rainfall.

Located approximately 2.5 - 3 hours from Sydney. There will be unsealed roads in the last 45 mins starting from halfway down the valley. Will be a bit bumpy for 2WD but we have had small hatchbacks (Mazda2 and Toyota Yaris) come in the past, just a slower and more carefully.

We are pleased to share our private family weekender with you and your loved ones to disconnect from your busy lives and create some wonderful memories together.

We offer our entire property for camping but also with a completely off grid cabin (full disclosure: subject to council approval so technically we are offering the entire property for camping, as well as the full access to everything on it).

Inside you will find ample space to cook in the kitchenette, have a hot shower in the modern bathroom or sit by the fireplace to read from our small library.

Our desired experience for you is seclusion and privacy, so it will be a self-check in/out process.

AWD or 4WD vehicles are definitely recommended, but not necessary.

Please be aware: The cabin uses a composting eco-toilet instead of a flushing toilet.

*We are Pet friendly! Just clean up fur or mess please!

BYO (Bring-Your-Own) checklist:
  • Queen bedsheets, quilt covers and pillow cases
  • Towels
  • Firewood (and firestarters if you need it)


Please note this is a private off-grid family weekender and not a commercially built holiday accommodation. Due to the remoteness, we can't get cleaners to service our location.

Common courtesy applies to ensure: 
  • power and water usage is not wasteful;
  • you are sensible with fires;
  • no damage is incurred;
  • any mess is tidied up and surfaces are wiped down; 
  • any food scraps are disposed;
  • all rubbish is taken home with you (take as many bags as needed!).

Additional Rules

!!!CAUTION!!!

If there are sustained flash floodings occurring around Sydney, it is an indicator that the rivers and creeks in the Blue Mountains and  Central Tablelandsmay experience flooding not long after if the water cannot get to the sea quick enough. If this happens, I will contact you to cancel and move your trip so that you do not get stranded or worse, you get hurt trying to do a water crossing.I will keep an eye out on BoM flood warnings for the area and weather forecasts. In all the years, the only flood I ever saw was during the floods of Sydney March 2021 which affected our area.

While it is normal to see some creeks flowing under the roads and sometimes a little over the road (like 5-10cm water height). There are 3 critical spots that can swell and prevent access. 

  1. https://goo.gl/maps/8uyqa4RYFwh8sdDXA
  2. https://goo.gl/maps/dVKAmiiwVsX38QCz6
  3. https://goo.gl/maps/Ync9vp8qYCXWG6Wu5

If you arrive at any of these points and see that water is overflowing over the road to a height about half your wheels;

AND

It has raining heavily for the past few days and and forecast to continue raining;

Then I would recommend to turn around and return home - I will reschedule your trip. 



After long periods of rain, there will be pot-holes and cracks in the dirt road which you need to navigate slowly. The council tries to clean up the dirt roads every year after heavy rain, but please drive carefully when you start to see any pot-holes. Usually this is from Cullenbenbong Road (https://goo.gl/maps/mzYASiAzaivzs3b17)  through to Glen Chee Road.

Will be a bit bumpy for 2wd but I have had Mazda2 andToyota Yaris hatchbacks come in the past just a little slower and more carefully.

AWD or 4WD is definitely recommended, but not necessary.
