"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Blueslate Cottage in Curraweela. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the warm and friendly hosts who have truly created a peaceful haven.The cottage itself is rustic and cozy, yet very well-appointed with everything we needed. It had a charming, lived-in feel that made us instantly relax. The views were stunning—especially the sunsets, which were nothing short of magical.Our daughter was absolutely delighted by the friendly horses, playful dogs, and cheerful chickens that provided us with the freshest eggs each morning. Wildlife was abundant, adding to the authentic bush experience, and the location is perfect for visiting Wombeyan Caves or just unwinding in nature.This place is a gem for families, couples, bushwalkers, and animal lovers alike. We couldn’t recommend it more highly—5 stars from us and we can't wait to return."

"A lovely little cottage in a beautiful location. Owners were so lovely and friendly. We all had a lovely time perfect place to relax and enjoy Christmas in July. We even saw an emu on the property! "

"Very relaxing environment very easy to unwind. Love that the focus is on environment and surrounds through the art and garden displays rather than TV being the central focus with some places. Great to have fresh eggs for breakfast too!"

"Great place for a very comfortable family holiday. The house was perfect for a family gathering and the courtyard perfect for kids to enjoy themselves. Meeting the farm animals added to the overall farm stay experience. The extensive gardens surrounding the house were very pleasant as were walks around the property. Sally was very welcoming. Highly recommended!"

"This beautiful spot along the Abercrombie River was the ideal setting for a getaway with friends. Our group of six stayed in the Barn, which exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort and amenities. The Barn is designed perfectly for a group, with comfortable beds, open style living and an amazing kitchen that is well-stocked with quality cooking equipment, making self-catering a breeze. We spent much of our time enjoying the views from this fantastic accommodation, but we also ventured out for some bushwalking and exploration in the nearby National Park. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the hot tub. There’s something magical about soaking in warm water outdoors while gazing at the expansive night sky filled with stars. It was a great way to unwind after a day of activities. Another charming aspect of our visit was the two dogs on the property, Jackson and Mitchel, both Australian Kelpies. They joined us on our bushwalks, and their presence made our experience even more enjoyable. All in all, I can’t think of anything that could have improved our stay. Just a tip for future visitors: make sure to bring all your essentials, such as milk, corn cakes, and bread, as it’s quite a journey to return for forgotten items. Abercrombie Ridge truly offers a luxurious camping experience without the hassle of tents, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with friends. "
