Newnes Hotel Cabins

Surrounded by the wilderness of Wollemi National Park, spectacular sandstone cliffs, rain-forested canyons and the historic ruins of the former shale oil mining town, we invite you to stay in our unique, hand-crafted cabins and experience this stunning place.

Imagine a place without mobiles.  A place with no TV.  A place without distractions.  A place where you can just "be".  This is us - a very special place.  Switch off and enjoy undisturbed time with your family or friends.  

Our guests enjoy relaxing on the verandahs, experiencing nature, playing games and sitting around the fire -  quality time for you and the ones close to you.

We are, Thomas and Helen Ebersoll, and we first discovered the Wolgan valley on a camping trip to Wollemi National Park.  Like many people before us, we were amazed by the spectacular scenery of this magic place and excited by the possibility of creating something really special here.  Little did we imagine that one day, our dream would start to become a reality.  Now with our family, our daughter, Marianna, now aged 21, and dog, Ruskin, we are up and running.  

We opened our first cabin in 2004, the second in 2006, the third in 2007, the Shower and Toilet Block in 2010 and the fourth cabin was opened for the Glow Worm Marathon in June 2013.

We like to be able to offer accomodation that has a very low environmental impact, with solar panels and water tanks providing power and water to provide the comforts of home in an offgrid setting.
