No pets
Bluegums Nests are the perfect secluded escape where you can unplug, relax and unwind. The Nests are located high on a hill with beautiful valley views. You may not meet another person. From your Nest you will have an abundance of bird visitors - king parrots, kookaburras, bower birds and many more. The wallabies, possums and padamelons are also keen to meet you.. and if you are lucky a koala or two.

We are 20 minute from Dungog, a town well worth a visit with eclectic shops, delicious cafes and a micro-Brewery.

Bluegums Nest 2 was a great choice to visit and stay. We had a beautiful time relaxing amongst the trees listening to natures soundscape. It was every bit what we expected and more with a comfortable ...bed and great amenities such as a pool a pool and tennis court. The stay was made even more special by being surrounded by so much wildlife and hiking opportunities. Amanda was great in providing us helpful tips on arriving and for things to do. I highly recommend a trip up to Blue Gums Cabins if you need a get away from the city and want to be surrounded by beautiful nature and a calming environment.

Chichester Dam

The water lifeline to many areas such as Maitland, Cessnock and Beresfield. The Chichester Dam is a great location to have a picnic, check out the dam wall and the river itself. Walk on top of the dam wall and look down on the water beneath or take the walking track down to the bottom of the reservoir for a different perspective.

Walk To Chichester Dam

Wander up to Chichester Dam. It’s a pleasant walk and despite being in the middle of a beautiful declared wilderness area it is quite an impressive structure. You will see and hear plenty birds along this walk. There are toilets, a bbq area and hot water for tea facilities here.

Bushwalking In Barrington Tops National Park

The rainforests in Barrington Tops National Park are part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area; the most extensive strip of diverse rainforest anywhere on earth. The World Heritage Area is a direct window into the past and the future, providing a link to the ancient pre-human world and a stunning and irreplaceable record of life on our planet.

Carved out of ancient volcanic flows, the park rises from near sea level to over 1500m and protects one of the largest temperate rainforests in mainland Australia, along with a host of diverse habitats and wide range of birds and animals.

Hunter Valley Wineries

On our road trip to Bandon Grove, we took a sneaky detour to Audrey Wilkinson Wineries in the Hunter Valley to pick up some local produce of cheese and wine. One of the best views of the Hunter is from this car park.
