Best Serviced Apartments in Wombeyan Caves 2026

One of the spectacular formations inside the Figtree Cave at Wombeyan Caves Karst Conservation Reserve.

Although it's not as adventurous as the various nearby wild cave systems such as those at Tuglow and Bungonia, it's a top spot for camping, wildlife watching and for learning about the geology and history of these remote and magnificent caves.

The caves had been a special place to the local Gundungurra people for hundreds of generations, but there is little evidence they used the caves themselves for shelter.

Europeans first discovered Wombeyan Caves in 1828 when explorer John Oxley and pioneering grazier John Macarthur explored the areas between Berrima and Oberon looking for grazing land. They stumbled upon the massive entrance to the Figtree Cave, the Victoria Arch, at the end of a cleared box canyon.

In 1868 the area was set aside by the colonial NSW government as a reserve and was staffed by a caretaker, Mr Charles Chalker. Chalker explored the area extensively and discovered many of the dozens of caves in the Wombeyan system.

The area became very popular with tourists and geologists alike, and in 1900 a road was opened, linking Wombeyan Caves to Mittagong in the east. An account of this newly-pushed-through road is found in one of my favourite books, "Landlopers" by John Le Gay Brereton, published in 1899.

I have read newspaper letters to the editor from the 1910s where the writers bitterly whinge about the state of the Wombeyan Caves Road between the Caves and Mittagong. Over 100 years later, people are still whingeing about it haha. I call it The Road Of Doom and it's a picturesque drive which is even a little adventurous at times.

The Wombeyan Caves themselves were popular throughout the first half of the 20th Century and the Figtree Cave in the photo was opened to the public as a guided show cave in 1968 and it's been inspiring visitors ever since.

Crabapple Cottage -Lovely self contained cottage on Heritage property

10/10 Excellent

"Great little spot perfect for 2 people whoo just want to get away from the bustling city life"

Farmstay at Fleece, Flock & Fibre an historic railway station in Taralga

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay, Lynda and Paul are great hosts! The guest house was clean, well-maintained and had very thoughtful amenities. It was so cute seeing the lambs and sheep around. Great directions on finding the place and the property itself is so serene and peaceful. This may be one of the best stays I’ve had in a while, and we would have loved to stay longer. Super close to Taralga Wildlife Park & about 35mins away from Wombeyan Caves, both are attractions worth the travel! "

"Location is excellent for walking to restaurants and winery in Berrima. Phil and Annie very friendly and welcoming, including putting up t he sun umbrella and outdoor chair cushions so we could enjoy a board game in the lovely backyard. Lots of birds to watch too. "

Sensational Views - Best in the Southern Highlands

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely magical place to stay! The views are like nothing else and the cabins are fantastic, they have everything you need.We stayed during 35deg weather so it was a shame the pool was pretty milky and dirty, but it certainly didn't stop the kids from going in. The view from the pool is awesome. The kids loved walking the driveway to visit the horses and cows, they spotted goannas and other wildlife which made it really special. We would love to go back and stay during cooler weather!"

The Farmhouse — Relax in a rustic private sanctuary, pet and family friendly

6/10 Okay

"We had a very late check in time, supposedly for cleaning, of which there was very little. Tried to contact caretaker for a vacuum cleaner but had no response. Cleaned as best we could to make it liveable. Drains were all blocked. Contacted Holiday Travel (managers) who were helpful and organised a plumber very quickly. They were also apologetic for state of the place and offered some remuneration. Our experience was further disappointed by nearby patrons on the same property fighting, loud arguing, bad language, driving backwards and forwards. "
