Huch
Where To Stay Wollombi, Cessnock, New South Wales
With wood-fired hot tubs, breathtaking valley views, and fire pits with custom cooking grills, all set on pristine Wollombi bushland.
Huch is home to a luxury trio of stays under two hours from Sydney. The Lantern and Billy’s Hideaway were designed by Madeline Blanchfield, a Sydney based architect. The Canopy was created out of an old barn on the property and offers a unique glamping experience.
From The Lantern, Billy’s Hideaway and The Canopy, you can expect to spot wombats, kangaroos, birdlife and the friendly cattle that live next door. The stays are just a five-minute drive (or pleasant 20-minute stroll) from the middle of the village, while being totally isolated from any neighbours or noise.
All stays are completely off-grid (they run off solar power and rainwater) but feel like a luxury experience thanks to designer furniture, handy tech touches, and premium bedding and bathroom details that ensure a comfortable stay.
As well as being dog-friendly (up to 20 kilos, with approval) and kitted out with compact but comprehensive kitchens so you don’t have to leave after checking in.
While there are currently three unique stays available at Huch, two more are launching soon—follow on Instagram to be the first to know when they can be booked.
