Hinterland Retreat
Get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Magical 12 Acre Secluded Retreat
Relax & enjoy in comfort, our very special, secluded location provides a unique experience in a striking natural Australian environment. With stunning views & abundant wildlife, it’s hard to believe you are only 30 minutes from the Gold Coast and Byron Bay.
The Space
Our B&B is set on 12 organic acres. You are free to explore the property’s many walking tracks through the rainforest, orchards and gardens or just relax on one of the verandahs taking in the awesome views with not another house in sight, wildlife, peace and quiet.
Or you could venture out and explore the Mount Warning/Northern Rivers area and discover some of the most beautiful countryside in Australia.
Guest Access
The large spacious room is separate from the main house and has a double bed, lounge, table and chairs, wardrobe and chest of drawers. It has it’s own private courtyard as well as a private deck with a view of the valley where you will hear the calming sounds of nature around you. You can smoke on the deck but please not in the room. The bathroom and toilet is separate and it’s double bath/shower has stunning views across the valley.
The room is clean and comfortable and has tea/coffee making facilities but no stove and so no guest cooking sorry.
The Neighbourhood
Undulating hills in the remnants of the Mount Warning Wollumbin super-volcano give this area a unique revitalising feel and breath-taking beauty. Many locals live here for the lifestyle and many (including us) choose to be self-sufficient.
The Tweed Valley boasts 30kms of uncrowded coastline, 14 national parks and reserves as well as 3 listed world heritage areas; so from the beaches to the lush rainforests you will be spoilt for choice of things to do. Rich in history, vibrant with art and alive with culture the Tweed Valley has a smorgasboard of experiences to be enjoyed.
Getting Around
A car is a necessity in this area, as public transport is quite scarce. There are taxis available and car hire facilities in the area. We are only half an hour drive from the Gold Coast International Airport at Coolangatta and the area is easily trafficable by conventional vehicles.
Just a 10 Minute drive will take you to historic Murwillimbah where you can enjoy a range of restaurants and cafes which line the main street and that are sure to delight your taste buds. The Restaurants provide an array of cuisines which include Australian, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Vietamese, Thai and Japanese. Vegetarians are well catered for in most cafes and restaurants and some specialise in vegetarian dishes.
If you are an Art lover, in Murwillumbah you will find the world famous Tweed Regional Gallery.
The gallery has recently gained great accolades for its latest acquisition – the Margaret Olley Wing, named in honour of one of Australia’s most famous artists.
Take a short, scenic drive to one of the surrounding villages and you will find a range of cafes in charming settings. In most of the valley’s cafes and restaurants, an emphasis is placed on fresh ingredients and locally grown produce.
The Village of Uki is 15 minutes away and has cafes as well as a weekly Farmer’s Market every Saturday. We are situated 30 minutes from Byron Bay by car and only 25 minutes from the Bluesfest site. In just a 20 minute gorgeous drive you can be walking on the uncrowded Wooyong Beach. Nimbin, Australia’s most famous ‘Alternative’ Town is a fifty minute drive.
