A treehouse for grown-ups, Love Cabins, Wollemi

Relive your childhood at Love Cabins, a collection of unique accommodation options set on 240 hectares of private bushland. Our two favourites are the (very grown-up) Treehouse, set high in the treetops and resplendent in natural woods, and the primitive-style Enchanted Cave, which is carved out of bedrock. Both have gorgeous views of the vast property, which is home to gorges, creeks, mountains and rainforests

**Address: **Berambing NSW 2758 **Average price per night From $319 per night. Cabins differ in price

Classic casino, Hydro Majestic, Medlow Bath

Teetering on the edge of an escarpment, with breathtaking views of Megalong Valley, Hydro Majestic is the mountain’s most iconic stay. Reopening in 2014 after many years of abandonment, the historic hotel has (thankfully) been restored to its former glory of the Art Deco era. It’s well worth a nostalgic visit, even if only to enjoy high tea in the Wintergarden or a cocktail in the notorious Cat’s Alley

**Address: **52-88 Great Western Hwy, Medlow Bath NSW 2780 **Average price per night From $179 per night

High tea with a view, Hydro Majestic style
