The kids had the best time exploring nature, enjoying all the outdoor activities and just being able to run free in such a beautiful, peaceful setting. It was the perfect escape from busy everyday life.
Everything about our experience was relaxing, family-friendly and memorable. We’re already looking forward to coming back again soon!
Our every first time camping and being at Turon Gates as well. And every experience we had we loved every single bit of it. From being away from our four walls, and the chaos of the busy life in Sydney, to simply being outdoors and breathing the fresh air, we rarely get in Sydney. It was beyond beautiful, the amenities where clean was a big bonus for me, to amenities for washing dishes absolutely loved it. The experience my family and I had, was an understatement, we never did except what we had endured. We loved every bit of it, the people where amazing, owners were beautiful, love seeing kids play together and having a good time. The water was divine, the walk absolutely jawdropping, the hike was a dying experience LOL, but worth every step, pain, ache and experience, the view was no words "SPECTACULAR." Worth every money paid for. We did not want to live. But we will be returning back soon.
Well done team, keep up the amazing work in what youse do to keep this a remarkable experience we have endured!
We are one happy family and loved everything about it!
Love from the Kavaefiafi Family ❤️❤️❤️
Highly recommend the Stonewood Cottage for a magical experience of the Blue Mountains.
The cabin is expensive compared to camping trips but worth it if sharing with someone who hates camping 😅 was comfortable yet still so much nature and lovely river to swim in 💚
The peaceful setting and seeing lots of kangaroos made the stay extra special. Claudia was very helpful, and the manager Alex was thoughtful.
Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway 🌿🦘
Beautiful in their natural habitat.
Our accommodations (glamping tent) was beyond all expectations. Wonderful linens, a very comfortable king bed, luxury appointments and more. A peaceful and restful nature escape. The owners, Michael and Alex are lovely!
I would give more than 5 stars if I could.
Highly recommend
From large and flat camping sites by the river to charming log cabins, luxury glamping tents or the incredible Sunvale house, the choice is yours, the perfection is theirs. Accommodations are spread out on an enormous wilderness area of rolling hills and forested mountains where wildlife is your only visible neighbours. Walk, hike, canoe, ride a horse, cycle or just relax, soak it in and recharge.
Thank you for a truly magical stay!
The room was top-notch – clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up. The kitchen was well-organised, complete with clean cutlery and everything we needed. The electric blanket was an absolute lifesaver for the chilly winter nights – especially since I usually need at least three layers to stay warm. That said, I had a bit too much to drink on the first night and forgot to turn it on… let’s just say, lesson learned after freezing through the night!
Service:
The service was excellent. The management team sent us a detailed email before arrival, including what to bring, how the utilities work, and even the expected weather. It was incredibly helpful and showed great attention to detail. Claudia stood out – professional, responsive, and very helpful throughout our stay.
Location:
While it’s about a 3-hour drive from Sydney, the location is absolutely worth it. Peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature – the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect from the city buzz.
We stayed for 2 nights and honestly, it wasn’t enough – if only I could sneak in a few more days of sick leave from work!
Mylo had the time of his life exploring the property, watching kangaroos, wallabies, and even some curious little goats! ???????? The hammock and BBQ setup added to the charm — chilling in the hammock with Mylo by my side was so therapeutic and rejuvenating.
A special thanks to the amazing Turon Gates team for the thoughtful complimentary extension, which made our stay even more memorable. Your warmth and hospitality truly made a difference! Kudos for creating such an unforgettable and relaxing experience. We can’t wait to return! ❤️????
A Place for Adults to Play
Sunvale is perfectly designed for up to four couples, or for two couples travelling with four single friends or young adult children. Sunvale is for guests aged 10 and over and unfortunately, pets cannot be accommodated. Enjoy a glass of champagne and the views from the wood-fired hot-tub on the deck. Tell stories and create new ones around the campfire under infinite stars.
Get Outdoors Without Leaving Your Comfort Zone
Step onto the 100 sqm balcony and once you can drag your eyes away from the view, you’ll discover a log fire timberpanelled hot tub, a gas BBQ, and a dining table, plus sun lounges perfectly positioned to make the most of those mountain and valley vistas. As the sun sets, get ready for a wildlife show, as kangaroos, wallabies, wombats and night birds emerge and graze on the grassy areas all around. That’s your cue to pop a cork, plate up the nibbles, and kick back around your own fire pit in a comfortable camp chair.
Turns out, sustainable indulgence is a thing
Enjoy a guilt-free escape knowing your stay has a minimal environmental footprint, as Sunvale is almost entirely solar-powered with gas only used for the 4-burner stovetop.
The perfect excuse to go off-grid
Mobile reception is limited – it’s the bush baby! But don’t worry, there is basic WiFi access that’s fine for emails, online meetings and browsing.
We’re streaming nature 24/7
