Another brilliant stay and Glyn Newydd! Sunny days and chilly nights, breathtaking views. Lots of walks, reading, playing games by the fire, eating, drinking, viewing the night sky. Great new kitchen, too!
wonderful weekend away - a staff retreat - the location and facilities were perfect - the team has returned stronger and refreshed. perfect hosts. easy to find. quiet and serene. everything needed was provided there.
Beautiful property, fantastic location, ideal space for family to gather to attend wedding. Accommodated a large family of four generations perfectly. Greatly appreciative of the opportunity to experience such a unique space.
Large property, easily accessible, suitable for all age ranges. Many gathering spaces inside & out, very well equipped kitchen for self catering, we loved the wide verandah which was a great space from which to watch the rain pour down!! Once the fog cleared we could appreciate the magnificent natural surroundings, including kangaroos & the stunning cliffs.
Stayed to attend a nearby wedding -such a great find
Absolutely wonderful in every way and would love to return for a holiday to enjoy for longer - magnificent views -perfect for families with dog - Thankyou
My family and I spent 3 days at Glyn Newydd and came away very relaxed after out stay. The owners have created a beautiful home set amidst stunning scenery. Magical!
The description does not do it justice, awesome spot and view. Lovely new kitchen and nice homestead and cottage. Coffee machine would have been nice and a few extra consumables. Overall had a great stay with the family and would definitely stay again. Thank you Eveline & Rob.
In a stunning location with views to die for, this property met our expectations. Comfortable, well-decorated and equipped, it offered the perfect break from city life for the long weekend.
This is the fourth time our family has stayed at GlynNewydd for our Winter escape. Cosy fires on long, lazy afternoons, wonderful views from the verandah, checking out the Milky Way at night. We love it there!
Beautiful mountain views in dinning, sitting area and from bedrooms' window doors. Getting close to wild animals including kangaroos, ducks, farm horses, etc. Dog friendly house setting allows the whole family enjoy the trip including our pets.
Brand new kitchen to prepare my Chrissy dinner. Dog had a ball as did the family. Quick response to queries from owners, gorgeous facilities in a gorgeous location. Loved the isolation.

Such a breathtaking view! Lovely rooms to take advantage of the aspect.
Thanks for sharing your lovely homestead. We'd love to come back!
Fantastic stay! Quiet and relaxing retreat. House was clean and well kept, everything as promised. Kids loved visiting the resident horses daily. A real home away from home.
We were very happy. The homestead and cottage had such a wonderful cosy feel and we woke up to see wallabies and ducks swimming on the dam. The main house was well fitted with everything you could need.
The accommodation is huge, as is the property itself. We loved the location as we were a short drive from an entry to the six foot track.
Favourite parts included the fire pit overlooking the property, the friendly horses and being able to connect to the sonos speakers in the main homestead.
