Story by John
Golden Glamping - Wildnest Farmstay – Kookaburra
Adventure in Glen Davis, Country NSW, NSW, AU
We booked this as a birthday getaway, expecting a cozy escape — but it completely surpassed everything we had in mind. It redefined what glamping meant.
Each morning felt surreal: kangaroos grazing in the golden light, mist rising behind the cliffs, and total stillness all around. Evenings brought sunsets that lit up the entire sky, followed by the clearest stars I’ve seen in a long time.
Coming back from adventures, we spent afternoons cooking on the BBQ and soaking in the outdoor bath overlooking the sunset. Everything about the setup encouraged us to slow down and just enjoy being there.
This trip gave us exactly what we didn’t know we needed: time to reconnect, unplug, and properly switch off. The most peaceful way to celebrate.
