Cosy Cabin with the Cows
Adventure in Rydal, Blue Mountains, NSW, AU
WOW. That’s what we were thinking as we turned off the highway and began winding our way through the rolling hills, lit up in golden afternoon light, leading to Seclusions Blue Mountains for a girl's weekend. When we arrived, we quickly took in the beauty of our cute, cosy cabin and got settled in before walking to a nearby spot to watch the sunset and kangaroos hopping through the fields. Our first impression of this place was unforgettable!
We spent the next few days doing so much, while also feeling like we were relaxing and not doing much at all. We enjoyed pancake breakfasts on the balcony overlooking the cows in the paddock only metres away, laid on the sun lounges by the pool and LOVED the big spa bath (the shower was amazing too). We also explored the empty wedding venue on the site and got ideas for our own special days. We also ducked out to visit Lake Lyell and ended up at a lookout tucked in a nearby plantation with views of the mountains and lake.
The highlight? Our host gave us carrots to embrace our inner farm girl and feed the cows! These animals were so majestic and friendly and loved a pat.
I was sad to say goodbye to our little cabin and new friends, but Seclusions is the type of place I know I could go back to time and time again and never get bored of!...
