Multi generational family getaway
Large property, easily accessible, suitable for all age ranges. Many gathering spaces inside & out, very well equipped kitchen for self catering, we loved the wide verandah which was a great space from which to watch the rain pour down!! Once the fog cleared we could appreciate the magnificent natural surroundings, including kangaroos & the stunning cliffs.

We were very happy. The homestead and cottage had such a wonderful cosy feel and we woke up to see wallabies and ducks swimming on the dam. The main house was well fitted with everything you could need.

Stunning view
We were attending the wedding of our son at a local winery. The most important criteria were enough bedrooms and bathrooms and proximity to the wedding venue. These were all fulfilled, plus a good size kitchen, living and dining spaces. But we were blown away by the spectacular view from most of the bedrooms, living spaces and massive wrap-around verandah (which also had plenty of seating for relaxing and dining). This was great for having extended family over for dinner on 2 of the nights. We had a wonderful stay. Communications were fast and the hosts, very kindly, gave us an earlier check-in. I appreciate this is not always possible when turning over bookings so we were very grateful.

The property is in a beautiful position with a wonderful view of the valley. We found the house as described and very well equipped. The only issue we had was the oven in the cabin. While trying to cook a roast the oven kept turning off because the trip switch activated. Even when on it was very unreliable. Despite that we really enjoyed our weekend.

This is the fourth time our family has stayed at GlynNewydd for our Winter escape. Cosy fires on long, lazy afternoons, wonderful views from the verandah, checking out the Milky Way at night. We love it there!

Relaxing Retreat !
Glyn Newwyd is the most relaxing place to stay in Megalong Valley. We have been there a few times now and will keep going back. The beautiful breathtaking views are forever changing and if you are as lucky as we were on the weekend, we got rain, snow and sunshine ! Just spectacular. The house is equiped with everything that you need, just bring your food, wine and chill out. Highly recommend a stay here.

Great views, especially from the front porch. Friendly horses that love an apple or a carrot. Modest but comfortable accomodation. Needs a proper functioning oven in the main homestead.

Beautiful location and lots of space.
The accommodation is huge, as is the property itself. We loved the location as we were a short drive from an entry to the six foot track. Favourite parts included the fire pit overlooking the property, the friendly horses and being able to connect to the sonos speakers in the main homestead.

Best Christmas
Stunning, breathtaking location. We arrived a few days before Christmas and had a lovely, restful time. Well equipped house, with everything we needed. Clean and comfortable, with many spaces to relax and enjoy the environment. Half an hour to Blackheath, with a lovely, picturesque drive. Loved the cafe and vineyard nearby. My father described the week as his most memorable Christmas.

Wedding Party
Nine of us, excited to be guests at a wedding at the Megalong Community Hall, fitted easily into the homestead and cottage, rapt that our wheelchair bound member had acceptable access, though not perfect.. very few places are, unfortunately. We enjoyed shared meals and relaxing on the verandah, being wowed by the magnificent beauty of the land. And the wedding was beautiful too. Beds were great, everything great. Thanks so much, we loved our stay 😊
