The Nest is a beautiful romantic getaway with a log fire and spa bath in a stunning hexagonal shaped cabin.

Here you will be surrounded by the beautiful Australian bush with breathtaking views and walking trails with amazing wildlife that you can enjoy watching from your deck. Relax and enjoy the gorgeous valley views while you listen to the birds sing and the wallabies hop about.
The Nests have exposed timber ceilings, a 4 poster queen bed, double spa bath so you can soak your worries away. In winter, sitting by the cosy log fire.

Beyond the comfort of your cabin, the enchanting Barrington Tops National Park awaits your exploration and Chichester Dam is a 5-minute drive away. A visit to Dungog is also a must with its eclectic shops, historic buildings, great cafes, micro brewery, mountain bike track, live music at weekends and The James Theatre. Do some exploring then return to the tranquillity of your Nest for some well-deserved relaxation.

Here are some details about the adventures nearby. Refer to the map for their location.

Wildlife On The Property

Staying at Bluegums is all about nature. It's so close you can enjoy from your cabin as the wildlife is all around you. Our cabins are set on 180 acres which you are free to wander and explore. As you wander you will see wallabies, pademelons and water-dragons. Regular bird visitors include the satin bower bird, black cockatoos, king parrots and wattle birds as well as magpies and kookaburras. Two of our guests awoke to 2 owls sleeping in the tree outside their cabin so you never know your luck.

Secret Waterholes

There is a beautiful salt-water pool on site (also a tennis court) or beautiful rivers and waterfalls nearby. We can give you a map and shortcuts to secluded waterholes.

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.

A Short Walk Became An All Day Adventure

We ventured out thinking this was just a little waterfall near a car park. There are two car parks at either end of a stretch of creek, so it can either be a quick stop or a few hours. There was so much to explore. We walked up the creek from the top of the main falls and found more beautiful cascades and swimming pools, we didn't see a single person!

Rolling Hills For Days

If you love to start your day off with a beautiful view as the sun rises, you can't go past the rolling hills at Mulconda Park property.
The edge of the road offers incredible views of the Bandon Grove region with rolling hills and stunning views of the countryside.
