We grow olives on our property, they are grown the organic way
We grow olives for oil (Leccino and Frantic variety) and olives for table fruit (Kalamata, manzanillo and picholine)

Multi generational family getaway

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.

Beautiful location and lots of space.

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.

Great views, especially from the front porch. Friendly horses that love an apple or a carrot. Modest but comfortable accomodation. Needs a proper functioning oven in the main homestead.

Relaxing Retreat !

Glyn Newwyd is the most relaxing place to stay in Megalong Valley. We have been there a few times now and will keep going back. The beautiful breathtaking views are forever changing and if you are as lucky as we were on the weekend, we got rain, snow and sunshine ! Just spectacular. The house is equiped with everything that you need, just bring your food, wine and chill out. Highly recommend a stay here.

GlynNewydd has become our family's first choice for our annual family Winter getaway. The location is beautiful with awesome views, plenty of space for young, older and the furbabies. The house & cottage are well appointed and have everything we need. We also get to take home some locally produced olive oil which is a bonus!
