Guest access Our property is set on 4 acres of lawn, rainforest, tropical gardens and a giant bamboo grove. The retreat is completely private and well away from the main house with its own secluded frontage, parking space and self check in. The property is unfenced, so please make sure your pets are always supervised to help protect them and our local wildlife. We do have the occasional wallabies, pademelons, bush turkeys, and monitors on the property, and we have even seen a shy cassowary looking for rainforest fruit near the creek. Wake to the morning sounds of cheeky kookaburras welcoming the day, and the resident metallic starlings chirping and calling as they busily build their nests together. Keep an eye out for the beautiful irridescent blue Ulysses butterflies who sometimes explore the gardens or hibiscus trees. Other things to note Please contact us to discuss if you wish to bring your pets. Pets are very welcome on request!
