About
Redgate is a truly unique farmstay situated less than 2 hours drive from Sydney just past the Blue Mountains, set on over 200 acres of private mountainscape and undulating paddocks. It is the place to go to find rest, deepen relationships with friends and family, and enjoy creation.
We acknowledge the Wiradjuri people, as original custodians of this beautiful site. The Wiradjuri are the largest Aboriginal group in central New South Wales, by area and population. The people of the Wiradjuri country are known as "people of three rivers" being the Macquarie river (Wambool), Lachlan River (Kalari) and the Murrumbidgee River (Murrumbidjeri) which border their lands. For many thousands of years they roamed, cared for and lived off this land that falls within their borders.
Through our website, you can book between 6-40 guests across the property, including up to 14 + 6 campers at the Homestead, 5 + 5 campers at the Tiny Homes and 10 at the Container Home. There are resident horses, and chickens right by the homestead to interact with and enjoy (including fresh eggs!), endless paths and paddocks to take a stroll through, dams to kayak on in the hotter months and warm fireplaces to crackle away in the winter months. We are pet friendly for well-behaved furry friends. With Katoomba 30 minutes drive, Lithgow 10 minutes, Bathurst 50 minutes and positioned half way to Dubbo, you'll need to stay a while to take it all in! The Jenolan Caves, Glo Worms, Hassans Walls look out and countless hiking trails are at all within easy reach. For horse lovers out there, huge bonus with horseriding lessons and short trail rides just over the road at Fernhill - call Kylie at 0410 565 847 to book, and book in early to avoid disappointment!
Come book your retreat in one or all of our options and rediscover what a dose of country air, a great view and cooking together can do for you and your group!
