About this property

Camyr Allyn Homestead - Idyllic Hunter Valley Grand Federation Farm Stay

A Grand Federation homestead awaits you for your stay. Charles Boydell settled here and established Camyr Allyn in 1828. This beautiful historic farm is situated in the Barrington region of the Hunter Valley with breathtaking views of the Allyn River Valley. Nearby historic towns of Morpeth and Paterson offer art, craft and antique shops with numerous restaurants and cafes on offer.

An historic country retreat with a cosy homely feel. The homestead can accommodate up to 12 guests (in either King or Twin share combinations), with intimate groups of up to 6 housed in the fully self-contained Lagoon Farm Wing and for larger groups there are rooms in the main homestead for an additional 6 guests. Meal packages are available on request.

Relaxed Farm Atmosphere

Absorb the fresh country air and relax by the pool or retreat indoors to play billiards. Depending on the season you can swim and relax around the pool, enjoy the spa, or tuck yourself away on the lounge by the fireplace, a gorgeous setting in which to enjoy a range of activities or total relaxation. The unique Australian wildlife includes kangaroos grazing amidst contented Camyr Allyn cattle, platypus in the Allyn River, and rich and diverse native bird life.

Visit the local vineyards of the Hunter Valley along with gourmet restaurants.

Explore the Countryside.

There are many activities to re-connect you with that sense of one-ness, from fishing in the Allyn River to hiking in the Barrington Tops National Park. Head off on foot for leisurely walks along the Allyn River and countryside or just hop in your car and experience a drive through the beautiful Allyn Valley. For a round of golf your choice is between a quaint 9 hole country course or a grand resort championship course within the region. Finally, our manager can also provide yoga and meditation classes if you so desire... at sunrise too!

Idyllic location in a peaceful setting
My wife and I enjoyed our stay here. The pool and outdoor areas are amazing. The bathrooms (we had access to 3) are well appointed with a bath and showers. Plenty of hot water. The bedrooms are large and beds very comfortable. However, there isn't any wardrobe or hangers which we found unusual. As a couple we found all the facilities adequate, but for a larger group, I believe the kitchen could have an oven and full sized hob. The property manager Fiona was friendly and helpful and brought us fruit and breakfast items each day, very tasty. For us, the place was really enjoyable. Especially the remoteness and peace.
