This area is a photographer’s paradise, a birder’s dream and an artist’s inspiration.

Don’t forget your binoculars, see the abundant bird life either from the comfort of your deck, or out and about on the property. Get lucky and you may catch a glimpse of the elusive lyrebird, gang-gang cockatoo, glossy black cockatoo or the brilliant satin bower bird. More commonly you will see fairy wrens, king parrots, spinebills, and kookaburras.

Go out in the evening and you might spot a wombat, or some wallabies in the paddocks in the afternoon

This is the place for people wanting time out, for relaxation, meditation and contemplation. It is perfect for overseas guests or a fantastic introduction to the natural world for children. There are opportunities to closely watch some of the farm chickens and goats.

Pour yourself a coffee and join the early birds for the dawn chorus. Nothing beats that first sip being interrupted by a kookaburra laughing.

Plunge into the stunning copper bath on the deck with that special someone or by yourself with a drink in your hand soaking up the serenity, and indulging in that well-earned peace.

Have shared access to the Bali Hut, a perfect spot to sit near the creek and take in the peace with that little bit of a tropical feel. Have a chance to spot a kingfisher, or a kangaroo coming to drink while you’re there. Share stories around the fire pit, and make memories together with only the sounds of the natural world.

Come away from it all and enjoy a couples’ retreat among the gum trees. Have one of those lazy days in bed looking out at the long gentle view of the mountain opposite. Wake to the dawn chorus of birds or sleep at night to the symphony of insects or if it rains, the frogs, all from the comfort of your room.

It is a photographer’s paradise, a birder’s dream and an artist’s inspiration. Bring your binoculars and from the vantage point of your room, look out for fairy wrens hopping around or spinebills flitting about outside the window. Or if you’re very lucky catch a glimpse of the elusive lyre bird. Go out and explore the property, with a good chance of seeing wallabies, or wombats at dusk. Or just bring a good book and chill out. Have shared access to the Bali Hut, a perfect spot to sit and take in the serenity with that little bit of a tropical feel. Have a chance to spot a kingfisher, goanna or a kangaroo coming to drink while you’re there. Wind down for drinks outside around the firepit with the smell of the BBQ and admire the sunset gliding over the mountain, later replaced by moonlight and a myriad of stars on a dark night.

This comfortable, cosy nest immersed in nature really is the spot to recharge and get some well-deserved time out. Being surrounded by old trees and ancient rocks reminds you how unique the Australian bush is while simultaneously giving you time and space for meditation and contemplation.

Whether you come away by yourself or bring that special someone for a romantic getaway, it really is a tranquil spot in the middle of nature but only 20 minutes out of Nowra.
