At Jarabin we have camping (with three designated beautiful riverfront campsites) as well as two eco luxury glamping NSW sites - Jara I and Jara II.

Both luxury glamping accommodations are identical in every way! Both are equally beautiful, with breathtaking river and mountain views. Whichever you choose, you’ll experience the same serene luxury. 

Jarabin is approx. 3 ½ hours from Sydney, 1 ½ hours from Canberra, 40 mins from Yass, and about 20 mins from the village of Bookham - making it an ideal destination for anyone searching for premium Glamping NSW experiences close to home.

From Bookham, there are about 10kms of council-maintained dirt/gravel road through beautiful country-side. It is 2WD accessible in all weather conditions and the dirt road is all part of the adventure and sense of escape. Exact details of how to get there are emailed to you before your stay but if you have any questions regarding access, feel free to get in touch.

(Please note that whilst there are no issues for most 2WD vehicles driving the road, we do not accept any responsibility if you do not wish to drive and will not cover any resultant transport costs).

Yes! Our luxury glamping structures are fully off-grid and self-sustainable with solar power and rainwater tanks that collect water on site.

Yes. There is a 2-night minimum stay for our glamping NSW sites, and 3 on long weekends. There is no minimum stay for our camping sites.

Sometimes, we can squeeze you in for one night if there is a one night available between two bookings. If you want to stay for one night and you can see it’s available when booking, email us at hello@jarabin.com.au

There are so many on-farm activities for you to enjoy. During the day you can hike Ponds Mountain or take a nice stroll along the Riverfront where you can spot fish, platypus and an abundance of birdlife. In the evenings, sit back with your favourite drink and gaze at the stars - there is absolutely no light pollution here! Check out Activities at Jarabin and Discover the Region pages on the website for more information.

Make sure you click here to check out our specially curated camping and glamping beef boxes online, made up of all fresh Angus beef raised on our farm.

Our Glampers receive a farm fresh breakfast hamper! :)

Yes. For those guests who don’t want to completely disconnect, each of our glamping NSW sites has free Wifi available. Given our remote location, we can’t guarantee its availability or speed. However, on the whole it is fairly reliable. Unfortunately, there is no wifi available at the camping sites.

Our whole philosophy is to leave this place better than how we found it. We are focused on pasture improvement, with no soil tilling so that the carbons in soils remains untouched. We also employ rotational grazing techniques, meaning our cattle move about different paddocks throughout the year, allowing soils and grasses to regenerate. Also, we minimise any chemical use on our farm to ensure the ongoing health of the land and rivers on which we live and share. Click here for more information about Sustainability at Jarabin.

Check-in is at 2pm, and Check-out is at 10am.

Just like anywhere else, wind, rain and storms happen at Jarabin. Rest assured that our accommodations are all built to Australian standards and thoughtfully located on our property. The soon-to-arrive glamping accommodations will be located on higher ground (for amazing views), so it can be windy, but that is out of our control. The accommodations are incredibly sturdy and have been reinforced to withstand cyclonic winds (which luckily, we have never experienced in our area).

Remember, if it storms, take that as an opportunity to snuggle up in front of the fire in winter or watch the rain with a drink in hand and wait for it to pass by.

(Please note that, as you can appreciate, we do not accept any responsibility for any effect on your stay due to adverse weather).

Camping: Bookings are fully refundable if cancelled 48 hours prior to arrival. There is no refund for cancellations made after this time.

Glamping:

Cancellations made 21 days or more before check-in date = full refund less $25 processing fee and any booking/merchant fees.

Date Changes made 21 days before check-in date = $25 processing fee plus any additional nightly rate charges based on your desired date changes (changes are subject to availability).

Cancellations made less than 21 days before check-in date = no refund of any fees paid and no changes possible.

All change requests must be emailed with the information you are requesting to change. If you are unable to make your stay, the cancellation policy will apply.

Please understand that as a small family run business, cancellations and variations have a huge impact on us, and while we aim to be as flexible as we possibly can with our guests, our booking conditions are strictly enforced.

Jarabin Glamping Accomodations are strictly adults only so that you and our other guests can fully relax and indulge. Our glamping sites do not allow for pets.

However, children and pets are welcome at Jarabin camping sites.

Our glamping accommodations are located right on the river front, which means the Murrumbidgee River is your swimming pool! However, accommodations also feature a luxury bathtub with views over the river and mountains for those private and indulgent moments!

Please keep in mind that we are in the middle of bushland (aka lots of fuel for fires) so if you choose to light a fire please ONLY do so in a fire pit. By choosing to light a fire you accept the responsibility to comply with all fire regulations and for mitigating any risks to dwellings, property, people and animals. For more details, please see our Terms & Conditions.

There’s always plenty for your stay. We have set up each site so you can come with minimal fuss and leave with maximum happiness. The powerpoints we have installed are good to charge small items like phones and laptops, but please leave large appliances at home. The BBQ runs off a gas bottle which is regularly checked.

The rooms have amazing cross ventilation but if aircon is more your style, there are reverse cycle units in the cabins. For the colder months, we have a wood log burner which will be already lit and waiting for your arrival.

Go for it! Please have a look at the map on the website for all the walking trails and things to see and do. (Please do remember to leave the gates as you found them. If they’re open leave them open and if they’re shut, please remember to shut them again behind you).

Please always remember to take care and please always abide by our T&Cs.

This is the Aussie bush and the onus ultimately, is on you when it comes to keeping safe. Rule of thumb – the animals like their privacy just as much as you do and are happy to be left alone. In the drier seasons, beware of snakes. You’ll definitely see cattle but they’re usually not bothered and will just move away or stand and stare at you. There is so much birdlife, with hundreds of species for you to sit back and listen to.

We're so glad you love them! If there's something that catches your eye, just let us know. We'll be happy to share where we sourced it so you can buy one for yourself.

If this happens, be a great guest and let us know. Email hello@jarabin.com.au so we can make sure the next guests staying in the accommodation have everything they need (please see T&Cs for more information).

There is a strictly no extra visitors policy. Our accommodations are set up for a maximum of two people. However, we would love you to tell your friends and family all about Jarabin so they can book too.

Jarabin gift vouchers are available in increments of $100. Upon payment, we will email you the voucher which needs to be used within 18 months of issue.
