Rove Numby isn’t a place you visit. It’s a place you rove, wander, explore.
Rove Numby is a family-run rural escape offering deeply personal, fully hosted walking experiences and stays in a remarkable corner of the Australian countryside. Set in a spectacular, mountainous corner of rural Australia — far beyond the usual trail maps and well off the beaten path.
At the heart of it all is Rosewood Cottage — a beautifully restored 100-year-old stone cottage that serves as your basecamp and luxury retreat. Think crackling open fire (you never have to tend it), deeply comfortable beds, hot water bottles, good books, and the kind of quiet you didn’t realise you needed.
Your stay is fully hosted, with gourmet paddock-to-plate food and local wines, prepared and served by your own cook and experiences are highly personalised to special interests, fitness levels and occasions.
Easily reached from Canberra, Sydney, and the Central West, Rove Numby is ideal for:
Solo hikers
Couples
Group getaways
Long lunch celebrations
Retreats and workshops
And because of its wonderfully isolated location, it’s the perfect place to truly switch off and reconnect — with nature, with others, and with yourself.
Come rove.

Luxury Hiking and Glamping Experience
WALK/STAY/FEAST Escape from your every day and feel a ‘million miles away’ roving this stunning landscape.
The Rove Numby Classic is the signature experience — a beautifully balanced blend of guided walking, luxury cottage comfort, and memorable paddock-to-plate dining in one of the most spectacular hidden corners of the Lachlan Valley.
Your days are spent roving across rugged hills, along quiet waterways, and through native bush rich with wildlife, history, and sweeping views. Every walk is fully guided and thoughtfully paced, with time to pause, explore, and take in the landscape.
Each evening, you return to Rosewood Cottage, the 100-year-old stone basecamp where crackling fires, comfortable beds, and deep quiet await. Here, your own cook prepares generous, seasonal meals showcasing local produce and wines — long, relaxed feasts that become a highlight of the stay.
With stargazing skies, natural rock pools, and the kind of off-grid stillness that’s increasingly rare, the Rove Numby Classic is designed to help you switch off, slow down, and reconnect.
