Mabi – Gundungarra word for Quoll (of which we have seen four on Tanjenong, near the campground). Mabi overlooks the spectacular views of the southern end of the Great Dividing Range.
The sleeping quarters are in a 4.5 meter Dome made from homemade aircrete blocks.

The 260 Ha property covers extensive stretches of untouched Bush with great bushwalking. The beauty of taking our bushwalk is that you can experience a real sense of the solitariness and ruggedness of the Aussie Bush. There would rarely be other walkers who you would encounter on your hike. It is important to remember that this area has been described as having some of the cleanest air in NSW. There is a lichen which grows in this area which indicates that the air is incredibly clean.

Additional Information

GLAMPING DETAILS
Mabi is a 4.5 meter dome that has a deck, comfortable deck chairs, umbrella protected outdoor dining area, a mud kitchen with a sink and gas cooking hob and steel ring fire pit with plate for cooking your meals on. There is a supply box that contains pots, pans, crockery, cutlery and utensils for your own use at the site. In the dome there is a queen bed and an eating nook with a view in case of inclement weather.

CAMP KITCHEN
There is a small but comfortable camp kitchen which we have developed for tourists to retreat to in case of bad weather. There is a lounge area with a fireplace, a dining area with seating for 6 and a well equipped kitchen area with a sink preparation table, and a three burner gas hob. Pots, pans, cutlery and crockery are also available in the Camp Kitchen.
These seperate areas allow for different groups of tourists to enjoy the camp kitchen at the same time. The camp kitchen offers another possibility for group gatherings with it’s generous deck, bar and outdoor sitting area. There is also a BBQ on the deck if the camp fires become too wet.
There is also a fire pit with a motorized spit and outdoor dining area situated on the hill above the Kitchen for groups to enjoy.

SHOWERS
There are two showers. Both are glass fronted and are perched on the very edge of the hill so you get the feeling that there is very little between you and the mountains! It is truly a spectacular experience. There is a solar heater on top of the showers which allows for hot showers. We do ask however that you are careful to restrict your usage for the shower to 2 -3 minute showers.

TOILETS
There is a toilet block at the back of Tanjenong camp. The two toilets are composting toilets. Be careful to read the instructions when using the toilet. They operate very like normal toilets but some instructions are necessary.

I surprised my boyfriend with this trip for our anniversary and it was absolutely incredible! We stayed for two nights. In the lead up to our stay, the hosts Deb and Rob provided us with tons of infor...mation including directions to get there, activities to do in that area, and the facilities available to us. They encouraged us to reach out if we needed anything and were super approachable!

On our first day, we got to meet the sheep, donkeys, alpacas and cows. We also met their dog who was really friendly! I was a bit nervous about having booked this trip in the middle of winter as it was quite cold, however the dome was so cosy and kept the heat from the fireplace in which was quite nice.

On our second day, we woke up to the most gorgeous sunrise! The views were absolutely stunning, and my camera roll is now full of pictures overlooking the valley with skies of orange. We also got to see wallabies and kangaroos! I had never seen so many of them, let alone out in the wild! The camp kitchen had a selection of board games and jigsaw puzzles we also enjoyed :)) At night, the stars illuminated the sky. The lack of light pollution made the stars so clear; the night sky has never looked so pretty.

After checking out on day 3, we went to the Wombeyan Caves which were recommended to us by Deb and Rob. I loved learning about these caves in the guided tour.

I couldn't have asked for a better trip :))

We moved to Tanjenong from Canada at the beginning of 2006. Tanjenong is the property where Deb grew up. Rob is a Canadian who has lived much of his life in Sydney. When we arrived much of the property had been neglected so there was an incredible amount of work to do. Our background in house renovations and construction helped us develop the Campground and amenities on the property in keeping with both the environment and the comfort of our guests. Our Mabi Dome is made of homemade aircrete blocks and was only the second such structure built in Australia. We have had extensive experience with media and arts industries in Sydney and that design element is very strong in the aesthetics of all the amenities.

Adventures on the Property

These are the exclusive natural wonders and outdoor activities within the property boundaries.

Abercrombie River Walk

This is the longest walk. It is an approximately 5 kilometre walk and can take up to 3 hours depending at the pace walked. This walk winds down through spectacular gum forests to the river floor where you will see the casuarinas trees, an abundance of bird life and the Abercrombie river itself. Parts of the walk can be strenuous, so please be sure to take a lot of water. We have seen platypus in the river so remember to take your binoculars.

Abercrombie River Walk

We followed the white wooden signs down from our campsite through the lush greenery to Abercrombie River. The scenery changed from forest to bush and back to forest and we welcomed the change in adventure!

Alpacas Wallabies

We ate breakfast outside our dome while the wallabies and alpacas fed around us.
