Wild & Seek Cottage has found the right balance between off-grid (incl feeling disconnected from the outside world) without sacrificing on the comforts. Oh, and fun exploring the stream with our senior puppy! He was definitely living his best life.

Really pretty location, and interior was nicely disgned. If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, we'd reccomend to visit in the winter...
Something to consider is the heat. There is... no reprieve for the hot weather. We travelled mid march and it was WAY to hot to be there. The bathtubs are all strictly reserved for the sauna experience, which was a total let down, and the property asks you be cautious of water use. We absolutely melted.
There's no air con, and fans are only in the bedrooms... which didn't really help with cooling down.
It was too hot to bbq, or use the smoker or the fire pit. It just kind of made the price tag vers use not worth it for us.
I also found the amount of cameras on the property slightly unerving. But I do understand to keep it safe...
I'm sure for a winter getaway this place would be cute.

Wild and Seek was born out of the need for everyday Australians to escape the hustle of urban life and reconnect with both nature and themselves.
The Wild and Seek team worked tirelessly through the design process to ensure every aspect is environmentally friendly and self-sufficient, minimising its footprint on the land and allowing guests to experience what it means to be off grid with a sumptuousness twist.

Macdonald River
Enjoy the drive following the Macdonald River.
Sunday Farmers Market
We were lucky to find the Farmers Market (every 2nd Sunday of the month) and see the freshest farm products in the town. There is also a Vintage & Antiques Market on the 3rd Sunday of the month.
Exploring St Albans Historic Village
This tiny historical village is worth a visit. The locals call it "Slice of Paradise". No wonder for a hundred years travellers would rest on the main road from Sydney to the Hunter Valley. We visited the St Albans Inn for an afternoon drink where locals gathered as a hub of the village. The drive here was very scenic with a strong countryside and farming atmosphere, make sure to check out Mogo Creek which is a further 10-minute drive from the Inn and get ready to be astonished by the scenic view of the lake.
Lunch At Settlers Arm Inn
We were quite hungry and we discovered this unique inn that was established in 1836. Best feed in town for sure!
Hike At Shepherds Gully
The long, gentle climb along Shepherd’s Gully has some beautiful scenery and some historic remnants of the Old Great North Road. The optional side trip to Hangmans Rock takes you past an old convict stockade site and some of the construction remnants on the main Devines Hill ascent.
Historical Hike At Convict Trail
This convict trail hike is truly unique, It takes us along the Old Great North Road, an amazing feat of engineering that was built by convicts in the 1830’s to link Sydney with the Hunter Region. The information panel along the walk really does bring history to the history to life. It's like we walked into an open-air museum with some engaging convict stories.
Only 30 min drive from Berry Hill to Wiseman ferry, this walk is very accessible. To get the most out of this trail (and understand more of the history), we recommend making a big loop that includes Finchs Line - the original road which was in use before the Great North Road. This circuit gives you a better grasp of the Great North Road’s history and is more scenic.
