Farm experience with a view!
Great place to stay for our family of four, our two city kids (5-7years) loved waking the ducks and checking for henhouse for chicken eggs every morning. We arrived to freshly baked bread from Neil, and a spectacular view of the mountains especially at sunset - the colour of the sky was magnificent! We fed the sheep, goats and alpaca, and walked to the dam. Coffee from the local cafe down the road was handy, and the soccer table was a huge hit!

A lovely stay with a fabulous view
This is a great property. It is comfortably furnished, the kitchen is well stocked and sitting on the Veranda in the evening looking at the cliffs is pure delight. Neil is a great host and was very accommodating to our needs. His bread needs no further recommendation and was wolfed down while still warm. We had a great day kayaking and hiking at Ganguddy/Dunns swamp. Neil also directed us to a nearby water hole, where a swim in the river was greatly appreciated in the January heat. For birders, the whole area was amazing, but the best and most reliable spot was the bush behind the Glen Alice community hall. I would recommend this property

A lovely place to catch up with family and friends. We had a glass of wine looking out over the amazing valley with those spectacular cliffs. Although cold outside, our house was cosy with plenty of space. It was perfect to read a book, chat and laugh. Everything you need.

A great farm stay cottage
We stayed for 3 nights as a quick little change of scenery from the city and we’re more than happy with our choice. The cottage is a lovely, charming, rustic and cosy. The beds were comfy, the fireplace was wonderful, the bookcases well stocked with books and games and dvds. Neil the host was very friendly and brought us a freshly baked loaf of bread and took us around the farm to gather eggs and feed the animals. We were very lucky because several lambs had just been born which was cuteness overload. It is a great place for winding down and getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Fabulous relaxing and scenic getaway
Lovely house with a wonderful fireplace and views across the vallley. Host Neil is a champion taking the young boys to feed the ducks, grab eggs from the chickens, chat with the sheep and Alpaca. It was fab to see two 14 year old boys wanting to be outside and learning a little about life on a farm. Neil also makes a mean fresh bread loaf. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway then this is your place to stay. Thanks Neil we had a lovely time. Cheers Scott

Lovely cottage in stunning location
This cottage is a treasure! Set in the stunning scenery of the Capertee valley, the cottage is perfectly set up for a comfortable stay for 4 adults plus kids, although it was just 2 of us. The wood fireplace really heats the whole house well and everything is very well set up for a self-catered stay. Our host Neil was great and made sure we settled in well and gave excellent tips for things to do in the area. We were keen to see the many beautiful birds in the area and many were seen on the property. Highly recommend this farmstay and we hope to be back!

Comfortable cottage and farmstay.
The cottage was clean, spacious and very comfortably furnished. Kitchen had everything required. Wood heater really effective. Special treat was home baked herb bread from Neil. Delicious with local honey. Spectacular Capertee valley scenery from every window. Pleasant walks on property included spotting kangaroos, a wombat and many birds. Chooks, ducks, alpaca and sheep in the paddocks. Close-by Paddock Farm Market cafe open Thurs to Sunday very pleasant and while a distance away the local towns of Kandos and Rylstone have interesting shops and markets. Great butcher in Rylstone. The scenery is the main attraction here. Lovely drives locally and Coorongooba Campground in National park at Glen Davis is recommended. Neil and Lesley were great and obliging hosts. We had a great break. Thankyou.

A jaw-dropping view with comfortable accommodation to match
My family of 6 (2 adults, 3 children 7-to12, 1 labrador) had the privilege to stay here over the Easter long weekend. The standalone house was very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need available to you. The views surrounding us were amazing and took up a lot of our time just admiring them. The farm had plenty of animals to keep our youngest excited and our gracious host Neil was more than happy to take the time to talk to us and even help us set up for our premier attempt at woodfired pizzas in the on-site pizza oven. We had a wonderful time and hope we get a chance to get back there in the future.

A delightful weekend in an incredibly beautiful environment! House was spotless and extremely comfortable, hosts were friendly, helpful and generous! A bit if birding, a bit of walking and a bit of venturing to nearby towns. Dining on the deck as the sun went down on this stunning valley was an absolute highlight. Highest recommendation possible for this Location, accommodation and hosts.

Great off grid experience
The location is very easy to find, the host are amazing! The stay itself is one of those unforgettable experience. We definitely came at the wrong time of the year as this place has a lot more to offer in colder weather. The view is just mesmerising. All of us enjoyed our time spend here being spoilt by the music choices, books, board games and the spacious backyard with fire pit. Also, Neil's (or is it Lesley's?) thyme and rosemary bread.. is SO SO GOOD

Free air for the weekend.
A quick two night stay to get the kids out in the fresh country air. The host Neil is amazing and friendly and happily showed the kids around his animals. He even went so far as to help them set up a trap in the dam to catch yabbies. Perfect escape away with the bonus of very little mobile reception so you can really leave the world behind you…

Breathtaking location & spacious property
Absolutely loved our weekend away in Glenbrook. The property was spacious, with 2 huge master bedrooms to accomodate us parents, cots and pets; as well as a room with bunk beds for all the kids. Neil and Lesley took time out of their day to show us the animals, feeding, picking the eggs, the veggie garden. If you stay at this property make sure to ask them to show you around. The wood fire pizza oven and the outdoor table were a highlight of our stay. It was a very memorable stay, little technology and a whole lot of nature. Kids and adults alike loved it. Also, check out the 'from the paddock' cafe 800m down the road.

What a great place! The view of the mountains will take your breath away. Neil was a great host and we learned many things about all the animals, which our 7yo loved. This is a great getaway if you want to walk everywhere. There's lots to do and it's also a great place to do nothing. Highly recommend!

All the elements for a family weekend away.
Glenbrook ticked all the boxes for us! Stunning location just a few hours drive. Loved the " modern rustic "simplicity of the cottage which was really well set up for small or large groups. Perfect for our border Collie who loved roaming around the large enclosed yard and longer walks around the property. Neil and Lesley were very generous with their time in chatting to us about their flock and chickens and showing us to use the pizza oven near their cottage. Neil's famous bread was a hit especially after we realised we left the pizza bases at home! Only good things to say about our time here - we can't wait to come back.

A great family getaway!
We were two families travelling with teens and a dog. Had a lovely time to connect with each other at the farm. Totally enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and tranquility of the place. Neil was very helpful and knowledgeable on information before and during our stay. The kennel was very handy to keep our dog safe during our day walk in the national park. We've enjoyed breakfast on the verandah overlooking the misty valley and evening around the fire pit toasting marshmallows and stargazing.

Nice private location, quiet, brilliant views. Property needed a thorough clean. Grease all over kitchen work surfaces and fridge, mold on shower tiles etc. Neil was a good host and made us feel welcome, our son enjoyed the farm animals.
Respuesta de VrboOwner el 28 mar. 2021
After nearly 7 years of hosting guests here, this is the first time we have ever received a 3 star review. As a proud home owner and premium host, to say that I'm surprised is an understatement... I get that some people prefer modern 'hotel style' places but we've always been clear that this is an original rural farm cottage. No photoshop here! That said... a clean - albeit somewhat dated bathroom - is a world away from 'dirty'. Also there's no way was there grease let alone mould etc. I'm fastidious in my cleaning which I do personally (if anything I'm a bit OCD about it, lol) Plus the climate here's too dry for mould. I always ask guests whether everything is ok while they are here and you said it was... so I find it odd and disappointing to read this misrepresentation about cleanliness after the fact Your review didn't say that I'd set aside time to take your sweet son to feed sheep at 4pm one day but you stood me up with no notice and that I then rescheduled for the morning of your departure. No worries about that, that's how I roll. For people reading this I'd simply say, the way we describe the cottage is accurate, just check out previous reviews and you'll see we have a hard-earned reputation for cleanliness of the cottage as well as location/warm welcome and good communication. Sure we're not Wolgan Valley but then again neither are our rates.

Away from it all amid stunning scenery
The house is a sweet little cottage set in the Capertee Valley between Glen Davis and Glen Alice. Our hosts were welcoming and delightful - even to the extent of a freshly homemade loaf of rosemary bread delivered to us that afternoon. We watched a wallaby and her joey in the garden under a spectacular sunset. The location is just stunning. We are avid walkers and we were close to many fantastic walks in the Gardens of Stone and Wollemi National Parks. Can't wait to stay there again.

Everything you need - Why pay more for less ?
Pound for Pound better than the Megalong Valley or anywhere else around the Blue Mountains. The location provides 360 degree vista's of Cliff's, Mountains, Bush, Valleys & wide open sky. Great dark site for Star gazing. Birds are abundant & notable, so bring some Binoculars or Telescope & Camera There is plenty of room to roam around on to walk the Dogs or Kids. You can check out the Alpaca's, Sheep, Chickens & the Boss Turkey. There are also some rusting relics around that are interesting conversation pieces. The Accommodation has all you need & comfortable. The Verandah is a great vantage point to just kick back with your preferred beverage & ignore the time. Kitchen facilities have everything required for making meals so there's no need to bring your Tools. There is a large Fridge for your Food & Drinks. A great Fireplace to get warm with & wood is provided. Beds are ample with Linen provided. Very Pet Friendly. The area around the Cottage is Fenced although there are spots that small Dogs could get under, But there is access to a Kennel where you can secure your Pets or Kids. The hosts didn't have any issues with our Dogs being in the House although I would respect the Furniture & Carpet. Easy 126 Km - 2.5 hour Drive from Penrith along the Bells Line through Lithgow, heading towards Mudgee & easy to find.

Magnificent view, excellent facilities, the nicest hosts
This is the second time we've stayed at Glenbrook Cottage and we'll be back. It's romantic for two, lovely for two plus dog(s), and would be great for two couples plus kids or singles. An excellent kitchen with a reliable stove and plenty of cooking equipment, reverse-cycle a/c, column heaters in the bedrooms, a most effective fire, barbecue facilities, a big fenced yard full of local bird life, and a veranda with a magical view. We were welcomed with eggs from the barnyard and a freshly-baked loaf of bread and some wine in the fridge. And despite the unhelpful weather this weekend we saw heaps of interesting birds around the Capertee Valley.

Superb location, tremendous vista
One of Glen Davis' best kept secrets. Neil and Lesley made us feel very welcome during our stay at their Glenbrook Cottage tucked away in the Capertee Valley. Accomodation is excellent, well appointed and maintained. Expansive views from the front verandah over the valley. Nice wood combustion heater which kept the cottage really toasty. Best part of the weekend was hearing the rain on the tin roof and the absolute quietness. Only a few minutes to Glen Davis proper and the National Park to view kangaroos, native birds and wombats. Our UK visitors really enjoyed seeing the wildlife and nature up close including the farm alpacas, sheep and various turkeys, chooks and fowl. Highly recommended. Thank you Neil and Lesley for providing a great place to stay for the weekend.
