We had a wonderful weekend at Colo Mudbrick house!! The house had everything we needed - lovely comfy beds, cosy blankets, wonderful kitchen with everything we needed, beautiful bathrooms including on...e outside with divine views!!!
We enjoyed a fire outside on the first night, whilst enjoying the secluded bush environment. The views of the river were amazing & we explored the bush track down to the river.
Unfortunately, due to weather we had a power outage on the second day - the communication we received from Cassie was great. She helped us to prepare for an even more 'off-grid' experience than we had anticipated.
Could not fault the place - we will likely be back

My husband and I love escaping Sydney and exploring the bush. We are working hard making improvements, landscaping our property to be a haven for people, animals, and birds. The mod cons are also important to us so we have great WIFI coverage!

Adventures on the Property

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

Colo River

Colo River is a great place for BYO boating, kayaking and fishing. The river is accessible via a scenic 20min bush walk down to a small jetty. There are good spots to stop and rest on the way back up. Closest boat ramp 5min drive away.

Outdoor Bath At Sunset

On the property as part of the camp grounds is an outdoor bath. If the camp is vacant, the hosts are more than happy for you to experience this and I highly recommend at sunset.

Bush Walk River Swim

There's a couple of walking tracks along and down to the river. Its on the edge of the cliff, so please be extra careful. I went for a swim too although I do strongly recommend a board or some kind of floating device as the its a tidal river. It doesn't look really strong but trust me it is. Super fun exploring the sand bar across the other side.

Veggie Garden Tour

There's a veggie garden out the back of the house full of fresh produce for all guests to explore and use. Herbs. Spinach. Spring onions and carrots were all in season during our visit.
