Artisan Estate

Artisan Estate in Somersby, New South Wales, offers more than just a place to stay. You can choose between glamping under the stars or settling into a comfy studio apartment. It's a peaceful spot that really lets you unwind. Beyond the accommodation, they run blacksmithing workshops where you can try your hand at forging a chef knife, a bushcraft knife, or even a kunai. If jewellery is more your style, there are copper jewellery classes too, or you could even get a group together for a team-building session. They also do beginner blacksmithing, so you don't need any experience to give it a go. There's a real focus on artisan skills here. The estate also grows pecans, and you can even get involved in pecan picking when the season's right. Keep an eye out for their events, like the Central Coast Harvest Festival in 2026. It’s a great chance to see a working farm and learn a new skill, all in the beautiful NSW region.
