It was a pleasure to host John and his group. They were lovely to deal with and communicated their needs and arrival times very well. They left the house very tidy and clean. We would love to have them come and stay again.

Highly recommended

Really enjoyed meeting Joy and Jeff, they talked about their experience of building a straw bale house. Lovely house with artistic details and a calm, tranquil feeling. Beautiful location by the Timbarra river. So quiet and peaceful, this place was all I had hoped for, and more.

It was lovely to meet you both Patreece. Thankyou for leaving the house clean and tidy. I am sorry you did not have more time to enjoy being at Timbarra and to experience 'off the grid' living which I know you were both interested in. We would love have you come back for a longer stay one day. Joy

Awesome house

The house is amazing. It has to be seen to appreciate the talent of the builders who are also the owners. It has some quaint qualities, like the woodfire stove and oven. It was very cold when we were there but because the house is so well insulated the fire kept the house cozy. We visited the Buchan Caves, which are beautiful, and saw the waterfall, which is pristine, and hiked to the top of the Lookout, a great cardio workout. It is definitely worth visiting.

Country stay with amazing views

Amazing country stay with fully contained old school cottage with exceptional views of surrounds and river. The cottage is extremely comfortable and clean, having everything we needed for our stay. The Woodfre stove was easy and fun to cook on. The nature loo surprisingly was very pleasant to our surprise. The views through each window was sensational. With an extra treat seeing the cows come right up to the fence line. The hosts were very welcoming and thoughtful. We were very appreciative of the acceptance of our additional special guests. The only downside is that the pictures online did not give this place a true representation of how amazing everything is. Well done to the hosts for presenting such a fabulous cottage. All the little details to find made this place even more special.

A cosy well appointed property nestled within beautiful surrounds

This is a truely unique property. It is simple and yet well appointed. Practical and cosy. It allows a break from the hectic pace of life. The surrounding countryside is stunning and there is so much to do in the area - exploring local caves, hiking, 4 wheel driving as well as gentle strolls, sitting by the river and reading.

Relaxing bale house

Property is just perfect for those who wish to destress from life's busy schedule & all those electronic devises. What more could you ask for a beautiful cabin by the creek with no neighbours in sight. Even though there are people in the area.

Eco relaxation

A spacious and very clean property that is located perfectly just yards from the Timbarra River and blends in well with the natural bush setting. Timbarra Hideaway has been built in a very eco friendly manner and has little, if any, negative impact on the local wildlife. In fact the wildlife is all around and adds to the overall relaxing experience. Good solar power and excellent, clean and thoughtful facilities throughout. Easy to find and within driving distance of many natural beauty spots. Joy was an excellent and caring host and this added to the overall excellent experience that we had. Thank you.
