The Best Things to Do in Cobbitty

At Eden Brae Homes, we honestly think Cobbitty Estate is one of south-west Sydney’s most inspiring places to call home. 

With its rolling hills, fertile farmland and rich heritage charm, this semi-rural pocket feels worlds away from the chaos of city life. It’s the kind of place where things move a little slower — and that’s exactly the appeal.

Of course, the views and beautiful home designs catch your eye, but it’s the little things that make you want to stay. Think cosy local cafés, scenic walking trails and weekend markets with a community vibe. Let’s dive into the best things to do in Cobbitty — and the wider Camden area — and why it’s such a genuinely lovely place to call home.
 

Is Cobbitty a Good Place to Live?

Want a new home where you can slow down and take more time out to relax? Cobbitty Estate offers a refreshing alternative. While it may feel like it's tucked away from everything (and we don't think that's a bad thing), you're actually only minutes from neighbouring Camden, Narellan, Oran Park and Campbelltown, with all the essential amenities, shopping and public transport you could ever need right there. What really sets this estate apart is the space. Unlike many newer developments, here you’ll find larger blocks, thoughtfully planned streets and stylish modern homes that give your family the room it needs to grow, live and breathe.

Cobbitty is also a great choice for families when it comes to education — with respected schools like Macarthur Anglican School, Cobbitty Public School and the Western Sydney University campus all nearby. With even more on the way — thanks to continued infrastructure upgrades and new house and land packages in Camden set to be released — it’s a smart investment in both lifestyle and long-term value.

It’s the kind of place where kids can play safely, neighbours stop for a chat and you’ll feel right at home from day one.

Cobbitty Restaurants: Must-Dine Establishments

Don’t let the laid-back charm fool you; this town knows how to serve up delicious dishes that are full of flavour! From rustic bakeries to local favourites, the food scene is phenomenal. Here's a selection of our favourite eats in the area:

Buon Appetit

The unmistakable aroma of garlic and fresh basil coming from the kitchen is just a slight taste of what you can expect from Buon Appetit. The tantalising menu offers all the Italian classics you'd expect, from wood-fired pizzas with perfectly blistered crusts to rich, velvety pastas tossed in house-made sauces.

Cobbitty Bakehouse

In the heart of the village, Cobbitty Bakehouse boasts fresh bread, flaky pastries and mouthwatering pies that will keep you coming back time and again. Their coffee is also a winner!

Camden Valley Inn (nearby)

A beloved local favourite, the Camden Valley Inn is perfect for lazy weekend lunches or a relaxed dinner catch-up. Think share plates, seasonal mains and a sprawling beer garden with countryside views. There’s a relaxed, welcoming vibe here that makes it feel like an escape, even if you’re just popping in from down the road.

The Italian Food Project (Camden)

For authentic Italian made with love, head to The Italian Food Project in nearby Camden. Handmade pastas, slow-cooked meats and fresh antipasti shine on a menu that’s all about honest flavours and quality ingredients. Don’t miss their creamy burrata, rich beef ragu or arancini — perfectly crisp and served with a truffle aioli that dreams are made of.

Epicure Store

Part café, part grocer, Epicure Store in nearby Camden blends gourmet delights with homestyle meals and beautiful coffee. Whether you’re picking up artisanal goods or sitting down for a nourishing brunch, it’s a space that champions quality and community. Try their seasonal salads and sweet baked goods — you won’t regret it.

Things To Do in Cobbity: Activities & Attractions for You and Your Family

There's no denying that Cobbitty village is surrounded by plenty of natural beauty, but you'll also find some hidden gems to explore and weekend activities for the whole family. Here are some top attractions and experiences in and around the area:

Glenbrook Creek

Just over an hour from Cobbitty, Glenbrook Creek winds through the Blue Mountains National Park. A great spot for nature lovers and curious little explorers, families can enjoy bushwalks, picnicking, paddling in the shallow water and spotting wildlife along the way. 

Sylvan Grove Native Garden Tour

Located nearby in Picnic Point, the Sylvan Grove Native Garden is open seasonally. Home to more than 1,500 species of native plants, you can enjoy a lovely walk or sign up for a guided tour to learn about some of Australia's native flora. Visit the Canterbury-Bankstown Council website or local event listings for upcoming tour dates. 

Cobbitty Village Markets

The Cobbitty Village Markets are held on the first Saturday of every month and host a wide array of handmade craft stalls, fresh produce, food trucks and live music. Wander around with a coffee or relax under the trees, and if you've got little ones, they can have a ride on a pony and meet some cute and cuddly creatures at the petting zoo. It’s a fun way to spend a relaxing morning with your family, and you'll be supporting small local businesses.

Nepean River Walk

Get your walking shoes or load up the bikes because just a short drive away you'll find the Nepean River Walk. The well-maintained paths and beautiful river views make it a peaceful, active way to spend time outdoors. Stop off at the playground or enjoy lunch at one of the nearby cafés for the full experience.

Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan

Set close to Camden and Campbelltown on over 400 hectares, the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan is dedicated entirely to native plants. On weekends, families often enjoy the breathtaking picnic spots with playgrounds and wide open spaces for the kids to run around, while fitness lovers get around the scenic walking and cycling tracks. There are also regular events, plant sales, gardening workshops and guided tours if you'd like to learn more about sustainable gardening and native ecosystems.
