Listing highlights

Furry friends welcome

Bring your pets along for the stay.
*NSW*
Experience rainforest tranquility in this unique & beautiful getaway. Your accommodation is a completely off the grid (solar powered) self-contained cabin with a phenomenal kitchen and a huge deck. This beautiful eco-getaway is perfect for those seeking a romantic retreat or an opportunity to unplug.
We are just 25 minutes from Natural Bridge and 30 minutes from Mt Warning. Close to the idyllic villages of Chillingham and Tyalgum and the retro-happening town of Murwillumbah

The space
You may find that one night is just not enough time to soak up the beauty here...
*Guests can enjoy fresh plunger coffee & tea, forage for herbs from the kitchen garden, pick fruit from our abundant nut and fruit orchard (when in season) as well as enjoy fresh eggs from our lovely hens
*Gorgeous chef-designed kitchen with huge island bench, gas cooking and beautiful cookware
*Spacious and open-plan, the living area features beautiful, polished hardwood floors - this area flows out onto the large back deck via two sets of French doors
*Enjoy freshly laundered pure cotton sheets and fresh fluffy towels
*Large, covered deck perfect for morning yoga (yoga mats supplied) or a quiet cuppa.
*Webber BBQ for guest use
*Oodles of room to explore as our 120-acre property backs onto state forest
*No through traffic means very few car noises (and lots of birds, wallabies and rainforest sounds)
*Best suited to couples as this is a romantic retreat, however we do have a sofa-couch for an additional guest
*Comfortable open plan living area with TV/ DVDs, books and games (sorry no tv reception, cable tv or WIFI).
*Owners live on site (separate dwelling that is 30m away). We can help with any questions or additional needs that you have during your stay.
*This is a completely organically managed property, with only environmentally clean products used in the house.
*The accommodation is off-the-grid, so we do ask our guests to consider moderate energy use in the evenings
*A wood fired heater is available during winter. We provide wood free of charge in the winter months (June/July/August), for heating, for each night of your stay, for the remainder of the year we can provide firewood upon request, for a small fee.

Guest access
The accommodation is open plan - the bedroom, kitchen and living area are all in one large open space, and the bathroom is accessed via the deck (just off the bedroom area).
The kitchen includes 2 gas cooktops, gas oven, bar fridge (no freezer), large granite counter, beautiful stainless steel cookware, juicer, blender, toaster and more.
There is a locked room in the house that is used as a store room (not accessed by guests).
Outside you have a large private deck overlooking the creek and small swimming hole (this floods on occasion, so can be in better shape for some visitors than others)
Guests can also enjoy abundant access to bushwalking in our valley (no marked trails but walks up the creek are popular).

Other things to note
Our accommodation previously operated as a cooking school. The kitchen is a foodies delight - with oodles of room to cook and make yourself a gorgeous feast while you stay.
A basic pantry, fresh eggs from our hens (on a rare occasion these are supplemented with local free-range eggs if our chickens are not laying), granola, herbs from the garden, coffee, tea, olive oil, spices, rice, pasta and milk will be provided for your stay, but you will need to BYO everything else.

*We are very happy to provide a milk alternative, just let us know :)

*Please note that phone reception here is poor to absent depending on your phone carrier (Telstra is the best but is still minimal). There is no WIFI. This is a true 'off-grid' experience.

**Please note that we prefer that this space is for checked in guests only. Please check with us before inviting additional day guests**

Please check in with us if you have any questions.

Neighbourhood highlights

We live in a quiet valley with few neighbours and plenty of tranquility - like most places there occasionally is 'neighbour noise' mowing/property maintenance. It is part of the country experience.
