Dael's Mill - Old world charm, BYO Horse
Dael's Mill is a charming 2 bedroom cabin with a rich history, dating back to the 1800s. Set upon a breathtaking 50-acre retreat nestled a the foothills of the Watagan Mountains, midway between Sydney and Newcastle. Dael's Mill offers a uniquely horse-friendly escape where guests have the option to bring their beloved ponies for midweek or weekend stays, or enjoy an intimate escape in the mountains, to slow down, recharge, and reconnect.
Property history:
Dael's Mill is a captivating retreat with a rich history, originally situated at 'Shipley' in Wollombi before being carefully relocated by bullock wagon to its current location. The cabin embodies a deliberate preservation of its period charm, offering guests an immersive experience in rustic nostalgia from a bygone era. Surrounded by enchanting gardens, Dael's Mill boasts an exquisite Magnolia, a stunning Chinese Elm, and a majestic Jacaranda tree adorned with a plethora of elk and stag horns.
The cabin accommodates 4-6 guests and is equipped with self-contained amenities including:
- King or single beds with luxurious Bed Threads linen and towels
- Pull out double sofa
- Air conditioning
- Cedar, wood fired hot tub

They have dedicated adjoining paddocks so you can look out your window and greet your four legged friend.
Activities:
Guests can unwind in an outdoor hot tub or take a refreshing dip in the property's dam and lagoons, adorned with lillies. The site grants easy access to vast trail networks in the Watagan State Forest, ideal for adventurous souls seeking extensive riding opportunities, either by horse, motor bike, mountain bike or 4WD. Or, you can try your luck fishing in the dam for some silver perch!

Guests can explore beautiful pockets of the property featuring our spring-fed dam, lagoons, and stunning Blarney Creek, meandering through the landscape. Spot the local wallabies, wombats, echidnas, water dragons, and so much more.
Local attractions:
Watagan enjoys proximity to takeaway shops, cafes, boutiques and restaurants just 10-15 minutes away, while the award-winning 8 @ Trinity is a mere 20-minute drive, offering a diverse range of culinary experiences.
