Nightcap Exchange, Nature and Hiking Platform

Rolling with the punches in a world gone mad, we offer our own special madness; a nature platform free range farm stay in a mostly 'unrenovated' zombie flip. C.1890 logger cabin aka 'the zombie' with world class views, a whisper of elegance & just that hint of deliverance country, wild bush, creeks, walks & total privacy; except for the open bathroom, free range animals and wildlife occasionally dropping in. A wabi sabi glamping safari & destination experience....intrepid travellers only~!!! The space Nestled under Nightcap and Jerusalem National parks on a dirt road, your 'zombie' is sunny and faces a jurassic volcanic plug. In your private natural amphitheatre, surrounded by lush ancient rainforest and world heritage listed ancient rainbow serpent mountains you will feel the magic and healing powers of this magnificent country. Go to sleep to the sound of frogs and night critters around the water hole and wake up to the most incredible bird sanctuary. You will feel like you are stepping back in time and a long way away from it all. Our very old cottage is slowly being restored with lots of chill spots to soak in the amazing vista. It will feel a bit like an exotic holiday with your outdoor bathroom and peacock looking in. The cottage has two bedrooms, extra comfy mattresses, super silent modern ceiling fans, lounge dining with sensational views, country kitchen, gas oven and wrap around verandahs lounges and breathtaking views. Bring your books and paintbrushes! Oh and gardening tools depending on how long you will stay, there is plenty of wood to chop to make your indoor or outdoor fire. The open bathroom is adjacent to master bed or also accessed by verandah, please note has a primitive 'bush' drop composting toilet and lush velvet stage curtain for privacy or the best loo view you have ever seen. History claims the mountain is a portal so while you are busy, look out for aliens and dinosaurs.. Please also note our wifi IS fine but NOT unlimited. Guest access Guests have full access to zombie cottage, acres of wild bush adventures and walks within the property. You will also love the private creeks, the main one on our boundary smashed by a kilometre landslide but 2 years on the pristine swimming holes just got bigger! Enjoy your own private nature trails on the property, use of a mountain bike, kayak on the dam, pet our free range farmyard animals , train a naughty pony, test your lungs or instrument in the natural amphitheatre, do some bush regen or hit us up for an exchange to help us rebuild our orchard and gardens. Other things to note The 2022 landslide took out our bridge at the creek crossing at the the entrance to the property. Drive in is currently ok for 2WD (thank you Airbnb for bookings to get the road done!) with bridge yet to be built. We will let you know if in event of big rains worse case crossing may be impassable, making walk in required. Parking then would be other side of creek and either I pick you up on a tractor or tough it and carry your gear about 500m up to the house... either way it will be an adventure arriving in another world and dimension...'the land before time' didn't have cars either. You are of course welcome to arrive by hot air balloon, bush plane or helicopter! We are a fully organic farm at the foot of national park so please bring only your loved up natural products and be responsible to take all your rubbish away at the end of your stay. Our nearest town is Uki and Mt Wollumbin Hotel, 25 mins by car and NImbin is about 35 mins. Coming from Tweed you will also come through the vibrant Murwillumbah. BYO all food (double filtered drinking water provided and offerings from farm as available which isn't much since floods) . On water the cottage has mineral invested spring dam water so your invigorating outdoor bath may be slightly coloured. If you'd like a longer retreat, a group booking, get stuck or feel you need to unplug for longer we love exchanges, let's talk! We now have 3 Unyoked cabins also on the property. Absolutely no party policy, cos we are waiting for the big one. Get on our email list. Registration Details Exempt
