The Bell Tent
About
The Bell Tent is a retreat for two with a paddock to itself on our working cattle farm in Broke, on the tranquil side of the Hunter Valley. Inside: a proper bed with good linen, a small seating area and a record player. Steps away, your own amenities pod holds a full bathroom, kitchen and daybed. A wide deck, a fire pit (seasonal) and air conditioning cover the rest. Cellar doors are minutes away; Yellow Rock is on the horizon. Camping, without any of the hard bits.

If you’re looking for a private, relaxing, and unforgettable escape, this is it. Experience the magic of glamping at Broke Estate.
Other Details to Note
A few honest things worth knowing before you book: The last stretch of road in is dirt. It's fine in any car, no 4WD needed. This is glamping, so you're still outdoors. Expect birdsong, wildlife and occasional farming activity on nearby properties, and a composting toilet in the pod. The fire pit is seasonal and is closed over the warmer months. We'll confirm availability for your dates when you book. This is a working cattle farm, so there are cattle, farm machinery, working dogs and the occasional bit of dust and weather. That's the point of the place, but it's worth saying. We provide insect repellent and have electric snake repellers installed, but please take care when walking in long grass. Children are not permitted. Babies are welcome if you bring your own bedding. No pets. It's a working cattle farm with working dogs. The site is on uneven ground and is not wheelchair accessible. If you have specific access needs, contact us before booking and we'll give you an honest picture. There are no laundry facilities. Wi-Fi is free and works, but the night sky is worth switching off for. Minimum stay is two nights. Long weekends and holiday periods can carry a three-night minimum.

Neighborhood
Broke is a small rural village on the quieter western side of the Hunter Valley, in the Broke Fordwich wine region. Boutique cellar doors and family-run vineyards are dotted along Broke Road and the local lanes, with Margan, Winmark and Krinklewood all a few minutes away, alongside olive groves and country restaurants. Yellow Rock's sandstone cliffs dominate the view to the south, with the Brokenback Range to the west. The roads are low-traffic, the paddocks have cattle in them, and the vibe is tranquil and pastoral rather than town-centre nightlife. Pokolbin's larger cellar doors and restaurants are an easy drive when you want them.
