About this property

Modern cabin offering incredible views with fire pit, spa and hiking trails.

A countryside retreat. This cabin is on top of a hill offering glorious views of the Capertee Valley.
The 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 and echidnas to name a few.

The cabin has its own deck and is right beside a large fire pit with an amazing view across the valley.
This location is the pick of the views on the entire property. Each window in the cabin offers stunning mountain 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 chickens, 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.

'Cabins at The Nile' is our Facebook page if you wish to see further photos of 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 have fig trees, lemons, persimmon, plums, pears and mulberries to name a few.

The fire pit right beside the cabin is very popular with our guests. There is a grill plate atop so 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.

We have an additional brand new cabin ready to rent. It is on another part of our property which is more secluded. Please message me if you are interested in staying in this other cabin.

Own a 4wd? You are welcome to drive around our property and take in all the tracks & views that have been created in the landscape.

Take a drive to the 'Paddock Cafe' which is about 20 minutes drive from our property to grab your breaky or lunch feed. They use local produce and sell a large variety of locally made products.

Have a larger group?
We can accomodate camping and caravans. If you wish to book the cabin and then have camp sites nearby also we have done that before for larger groups. We book our camp sites through Hipcamp.

If this cabin isn't available for your required dates then please message us as we have an additional brand new cabin on our property we can also offer you.

So peaceful
The Capertee Valley is stunning, secluded, peaceful and full of wildlife. If you want to rest and enjoy great views while listening to the amazing bird life tis the place for you. If you like bushwalking the endless tracks, some leading into the national park will keep you busy and happy. The hosts Mandy and Jacob are lovely people, well organised and easy to deal with. They have two beautiful young boys and Ryder will tell you everything about their farm or give you space whichever you prefer. The only reason not come is if you want nightlife apart from wombats and Roos . Loved every minute

We were super impressed by our stay! The hosts were so welcoming and accomodating, the property was beautiful and the tiny home had all you could need. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway with the spa, campfire and plenty to explore on and around the property. We’d highly recommend this stay to any of our friends and family.

Great little getaway
We had a lovely stay. Great communication from Mandy and Jacob was very welcoming. We were blessed with clear dark sky, could see the milky way and millions of bright stars, it was magical. The fire pit was amazing especially having the grill for us to do a bit of bbq. Would definitely come back.

Wonderful spot and great hospitality
My wife and I had a wonderful time staying here. The views were incredible, the cabin was cozy, clean and had everything we needed. The owners were friendly and great hosts, allowing us to explore the property freely and even offering a later check-out time if we needed it. Would definitely recommend, the long scenic drive to and from is worth it alone!

Lovely, clean, well organised and designed 'tiny house' in a spectacular location, with great walks and opportunities to swim and beautiful countryside. The hosts are really helpful and the spa and fresh farm eggs are to be recommended. Clear night skies make for great star gazing.

Perfect weekend get away ❤️
What a great spot for an off grid weekender! The views from the tiny house are spectacular and the nearby mountains and walks are incredible. We highly recommend the Slot canyon walk and valley of the dinosaurs! Mandy is a great host, very obliging and helpful. The house was superbly appointed and incredibly clean and well furnished. The fire pit under the stars is next level. Thanks 🙂

Tidy cabin tucked away on a beautiful farm
Mandy and Jake's farm is such a beautiful place to spend a few days, with easy access to nearby trails. The cabin which sits on a hill is very clean and has all the amenities you would need to spend a few days away. Mandy and Jake were great hosts and made finding the place very easy as we were driving late at night and were unfamiliar with the area. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Mandy

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 who purchased this farm as a weekender in 2018. Many weekends and some years later.....we decided to take the brave step to move here permanently. City people who knew nothing of farming - we now find ourselves helping to birth cattle, cooking our own chickens that we have raised, fixing fences and learning how to live off the land.

Why they chose this property

We stumbled across Capertee Valley by accident but are so glad we did. We never tire of the drive home.....the magnificent scenery, the colourful unique birds, the vast space. Its a very special place.

What makes this property unique

Being surrounded by the sheer cliff-faces is wonderful, especially to watch their colours change throughout the day as the sun shines on them.
