The Property:
Rove Numby is a hosted walking long-weekend, not just a 'stay' but an authentic adventure. Crafted from the things we love — just the right balance of active adventure and relaxation. A weekend where we enjoy the best food and wine over a shared table with friends surrounded by nature. Unplugged days spent exploring beautiful landscapes, rich in diversity and history without a tourist in sight. And lastly, but maybe most importantly, snuggling up in a cosy bed to the gentle sounds of the creek life with all the comforts of home. And all the planning and logistics done for you!
Numby is a sheep and cattle station located on the banks of the Lachlan River in Wiradjuri country. Roves at Numby explore the wonderfully diverse terrain along meandering creeks and hilltops for fantastic views. Your guide can talk about Numby’s bushranger history, how agriculture coexists with the natural environment and share a joke or a yarn around the fire. Most importantly, you will come home to hot showers, a glass of wine and a sumptuous meal.
Basecamp: Rosewood Cottage is a 100 year-old stone house that evokes the spirit of Australian’s agricultural pioneering history. It sits beside an idyllic creek, isolated by the steep hills that surround it. Rosewood Cottage is your space for warming up by the fire, enjoying sumptuous meals with friends and perusing the library instead of your emails. 4 roomy bell tents, located in the garden, sleep 2 guests each. Basecamp is close to the creek where you can take your book or have a afternoon dip. And, in case you were wondering, the showers are hot and the toilets flush.
We believe that food is more than just fuel so you won’t be disappointed. Your co-host will serve you elevated homestyle food, nourishing and hearty with a focus on using premium quality ingredients and local, homegrown produce.
Long-weekends at Rove Numby cater for a maximum of 8 guests and require a minimum of 6 guests to run. You can book as an individual, a couple, a small group of less than 6 or a full group of 8. For private groups, we can tailor your walks and schedule.
Guests should not forget to pack their….hiking boots and creature comforts.
How did you come to offer accommodation in the bush?
Because our visitors always adored the dramatic landscapes of our sheep and cattle farm and we realised we had something good to share despite the isolation, poor connectivity and rugged landscapes (because isn't that what we seek for an escape?). Ultimately we love the outdoors, but also some of the finer things in life! (wine, cheese, quality bedding and someone else to light the camp fire!)
