Self-guided
Activities at Wilderbliss
Wilderbliss provides accommodation and access to approved areas of the property. It does not provide specialist outdoor equipment, guiding, activity transport or equipment hire unless this is arranged separately in writing.
Wilderbliss is a self-guided wilderness stay. Guests must bring their own clothing, footwear, food, safety equipment and specialist gear for any planned outdoor activities.
We can recommend a local fly-fishing and hunting guide, who is also an expert on the local history.
River country
The Glenroy River runs through the landscape. River levels change quickly — always check conditions before going near the water.
Wildlife and birdlife
Native birds, farm animals and long quiet evenings. Bring binoculars and a camera.
Hunting
If you would like to hunt when visiting, please discuss this with Gemma prior to your arrival. Hunting requires your own gun license and equipment.
Stargazing
Very little light pollution. On a clear night the sky over the valley is extraordinary.
Fly fishing
River fishing requires a valid fishing permit. We would be happy to recommend a local fishing guide. Please discuss this with Gemma prior to your arrival.
