Beautiful base to enjoy nature and sights.

Beautiful cabin in the hills of Kurrajong. The host, Adrian, serves a delicious breakfast with choices, and gives info about the area.
The spacious cabin is fully equipped.
It is a great place as a base to enjoy the beautiful nature, including the blue mountains and the Three Sisters.

A Magical Nature Escape – Perfect for the Whole Family (and Dogs!)

We recently stayed at Rustic Spirit Retreat in Bilpin for my birthday, and it was everything I hoped for – a peaceful, nature-filled escape with my family.
We stayed in the Two Doors cottage with my husband, two kids, and two dogs – it was the perfect space for all of us. We were warmly welcomed by our lovely host Mariane with a bottle of wine and a cheese & cracker platter, which was exactly what we needed after the drive. The fireplace was already crackling and made the space feel so cozy and inviting.
We spent the afternoon relaxing in the sun on the deck, enjoyed a BBQ dinner the first night, and woke up each morning to delicious complimentary breakfasts. Hosts Mariane and Adrien (who is not only the chef but also an author of holistic wellness!) were absolute gems – kind, thoughtful, and a joy to chat with.
During our stay, we explored some breathtaking bushwalks, indulged in local food and cider, and soaked in the most amazing spa bath (the kids couldn’t get enough of it!). Honestly, we all loved it – kids, adults, and even the dogs!
We will definitely be back and can’t recommend Rustic Spirit highly enough for anyone looking to truly unwind and reconnect in nature. A very special place with even more special people.

Disappointing Amenities and Cleanliness

We originally stayed in 2021 in Flint Cabin. We'll list the positives first. The hosts had good communication in the lead up to the stay and were welcoming upon arrival. The property itself is beautiful and tranquil and we loved that we could take our Labrador. Flint cottage was beautiful, peaceful and had amazing views from the balcony out over the bush. The bed was super comfy and we appreciated the welcoming touch of wine and cheese. The breakfasts were tasty and with a fairly good selection. Unfortunately the TV remote and spa didn't work on our first night and there was black mould caked onto the shower head. There was an incredible amount of dust on the blinds (which was disturbed and fell onto the bed when we opened the window). The hosts were incredibly apologetic about the difficulties we encountered and sorted a new remote and shower head after breakfast the next morning. They also assured us the spa problem would be rectified by flipping the spa switch in the circuit board. Unfortunately that night when we tried the spa again, it kept tripping the switch. Super disappointing to book a spa cabin and not be able to use the spa for our 20th anniversary. Again, the hosts were very receptive to feedback. They tried to offer money, and when we declined they offered us a complimentary stay. We tried to organise this for December, but unfortunately there was no availability. We tried again in April this year and after several emails (where initially our stay was declined despite 3 of 4 cabins being available) were eventually advised the day before our proposed arrival date that a stay was possible. Unfortunately the hosts would not accommodate us in Flint despite it being vacant (and remaining vacant for the duration of our two night stay). Instead we were in the Bushland Cottage. We enjoyed having two nights away in a beautiful location, but we were very disappointed in the accommodation. The seal around the freezer was incredibly mouldy. The ice cube tray had a film of scum on it. We got a plate out of the cupboard which had a small piece of food on it (and there's a sign in the kitchen which says an additional cleaning fee of $50 is incurred if dishes aren't washed and dried, which leads me to think that cutlery, crockery and other kitchen items are not routinely cleaned between guests). The light fixture in the bedroom was a cemetery for dead bugs (to the point that my husband originally thought it was a pattern in the glass). We had troubles lighting the fire on the first night because the ash drawer was completely full. There was no ash bin supplied, so we had to take the liner out of the kitchen bin and use that to empty out the ash from the fire. The hob worked but the oven didn't. Tea and Coffee were supplied, milk was not. There were many holes in the flyscreens so we had to keep spraying the mosquito's. When we went to use the spa the water was filthy. I understand that tank water can be slightly discoloured (especially given all the rain we have had) but this was beyond discoloured and left a greasy scum around the edge of the bath. We used the morning fresh from the kitchen, turned the jets on full and rinsed the spa with two full tubs of water before we could use it. The drain on the bathroom floor is higher than where the water splashes out of the spa so it creates a river right out of the bathroom into the kitchen and leaves the bathroom feeling consistently damp. There was a massive rusty hole in the side of the water tank. We were also disappointed that the complimentary wine and cheese that you get when you book direct was not provided. I understand our stay was complimentary, but that was because of our originally disappointing experience which we had booked for our 20 year anniversary. On the flip side the couch was comfy, the view lovely, the BBQ functional and we enjoyed that we didn't have to pay. I think disappointed would be an understatement of how you would feel if you sank almost $800 to book this cabin for a two night mid week stay. We would definitely recommend a road trip to Bilpin, but were super disappointed in the cleanliness and amenities offered by Rustic Spirit.
