Little Rainforest Sanctuary near Bellingen

Rainbow Creek was curated for nature lovers, couples and those seeking a sanctuary. Nestled on the edge of the rainforest in Kalang, awaken to birdsong, search for glow worms and be awed by a million stars at night. A truly off grid, slow stay that invites rest, reconnection and creativity on the edge of the wild. We are far enough from Bellingen to feel like you have truly escaped but close enough to go out for a romantic dinner or a relaxed breakfast and coffee in the morning. The space It's almost firefly season again at Rainbow creek! The little house is a perfect escape and has been crafted for nature lovers and couples seeking rest and reconnection to each other and the wild. Rainbow Creek is truly an off grid slow stay. Watch the forest and birds from the king bed, cook and feast in the fully appointed kitchen or lounge on Bellingen's comfiest couch in front of the fireplace after a day exploring the local attractions this area is famous for. Rainbow creek is also perfect for solo retreats and those wanting a space to slow down - wether its a digital detox, mindfulness practice or a creative stay. A large covered verandah overlooking the rainforest along the creek is perfect for morning coffee with the birds and a library with art supplies and nature books invites you into deeper connection with nature and your creativity. All materials are provided to spoil and inspire you, from printmaking, watercolours or cyanotype prints to old fashioned letter writing with paper and ink. A true wildlife haven, glow worms sparkle along the creek at night, fireflies swarm in spring and lyrebird calls echo through the gullies in the mist months of autumn. There are walking tracks through the bush and a little creek for rambles and wanders as well as access to one of the areas best kept secrets, the Kalang river, which has perfect little spots to cool off in summer. The house has a wood heater and air con and we provide plenty of firewood for both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces. We welcome everyone at Rainbow Creek and celebrate love in all its forms. Rainbow Creek is on a shared property but is a standalone off grid cabin with its own driveway and access. It faces away from the other residence towards the forest and creek and is separated by a high timber wall and garden. This little space has been made totally private so you can experience nature and the land on your own, with 98 private acres for you to explore and wander on. Please note this unfenced wildlife haven is not suitable for pets. We love sharing Rainbow Creek and we love this land. We are honoured to be guardians of this space and the privacy that this lifestyle offers. As your hosts, you would only see us if you arranged a meet and greet. Guest access Rainbow Creek backs onto state forest and National Park. Guests have access to the majority of the property excepting the area directly surrounding the other house. We invite you to wander the trails up the hill or down along the creek and there are directions for accessing the Kalang river for swimming. Guests have their own private driveway and large yard space to enjoy with a firepit. The house is screened from the other residence with a large timber fence. Other things to note Rainbow creek has a separate composting toilet that is not inside the little house as we are fully off grid. The toilet is less than 10m from the house and has a light that is switched on from the house as well as a well lit pathway with solar lights. It has the best view over the forest and is completely private. We provide an umbrella for when it is raining as the walkway is not covered. Our Pet-Free Policy Rainbow Creek is a pet-free retreat. We know your four-legged friends are part of the family, and we completely understand that travelling without them can sometimes be difficult. Our decision to remain pet-free is intentional and helps us protect the peaceful, pristine nature of the cabin and its surrounding rainforest environment. It also allows us to maintain a beautifully clean and comfortable space for all of our guests, including those with allergies or sensitivities to animals. For this reason, we’re unable to accommodate dogs or other pets. We really appreciate your understanding and hope Rainbow Creek can still be a special place for you to escape, slow down and reconnect with nature. Registration Details PID-STRA-73002
