About this property

Looking for a peaceful, private and relaxing retreat? Or a comfortable base from which to explore the Wollemi National Park? The Wilderness Bunkhouse is the place for you!

The Wilderness Bunkhouse is set on a 1500 acre rural property, tucked into the edge of the Wollemi National Park. The Wilderness Bunkhouse offers you the perfect base from which to explore the many local bushwalking trails, canoe at Dunn's Swamp, climb dramatic pagoda rock formations, observe and photograph the abundant flora and fauna or the spectacular night skies or just relax and soak up the peace and tranquility of a very private getaway. The many trails would suit horse riding, mountain biking as well as bushwalking. Nearby, Dunn’s Swamp (Ganguddy) is a playground for swimming, canoeing, paddle boarding and rockclimbing.

The Wilderness Bunkhouse is a mudbrick, solar powered eco-friendly retreat with a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere. The bunkhouse accommodates up to 8 guests with modern amenities and a little touch of luxury in the middle of the wilderness.

Minimum booking is $440. This includes up to 4 guests for 2 nights. Additional guests and nights are $40 per guest per night. Maximum 8 guests.

No smoking inside the cabin. No hunting/shooting.

Beautiful and awesome place to stay.. but afew disappointments.. - NO MICROWAE - NO WIFI - NO kid games to play.. and worst.. was the WASP nest right in the patio.. rooms were clean and beautiful house.. (just abit small for families with kids (aged 3-12)... but no microwave, rice cooker, powered kettles and no wifi were the biggest let down.. BUT.. LOVE the anzac biscuits.. should sell them..

Relaxing vacation

We had a lovely time at the Wilderness Bunkhouse. The property is very comfortable with everything we needed. The outdoor firepit at night was lovely and the pre-prepared firewood was very much appreciated! Gay was very welcoming and helpful.
