A lovely little private cottage tucked away in palmwoods. The place was clean, cozy and very private. I received fresh eggs on arrival and Karleen (the owner) was very welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay and would love to come back again.

It was really really nice

We had an incredible stay at the palmwoods Eco Escape. Our cabin was very clean and comfortable with a beautiful outlook into the rainforest. I don't think the photos do the place justice as it exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend staying here.

Relaxing getaway

This cottage provided for the perfect weekend relaxing getaway. It's position amoungst the forest provides for a real close up experience. It's totally private too with its location from other dwellings on the property. Couldn't fault this for anything and in summary extremely well priced too when comparing to other options.

If you're after a relaxing, private & peaceful getaway then you won't do much better than Piccabean Cottage, which sits on private property in a secluded spot at the edge of a small rainforest area, opening into larger open ground. The setting is lush & natural, the cottage is fully kitted out with all necessary conveniences, the hosts Karleen and Dave are helpful & welcoming, and the location is far enough away from Palmwoods to be private, but close enough to be convenient. No complaints at all - will definitely be staying here again when revisiting the area.

Our family of 4 had a fabulous relaxing 3 day break here over Easter. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the cottage - the photos just didn’t do justice to how lovely it is. Everything you need is there including comfy beds and linen; board games; music and a verandah with the most stunning rainforest outlook. Karleen was such a wonderful host who greeted us with fresh eggs from her free range hens. The property is a well maintained private oasis and we look forward to coming back for another escape.

Great location in the forest

Beautiful recycling of sash windows and other hardwoods in the buildings. someone with skill and vision knew what and how to integrate each of the rooms with the gardens from various perspectives. Very private. Everything you could want in a short stay. Very grateful for the 1/2 dozen eggs from the chickens living in heaven! We will be back. Thanks

Reboot complete !!

From being met by the owner at her fence, to farm fresh eggs and milk in the fridge, everything about our stay was excellent! Being surrounded by rainforest and birdsong made for a relaxing stay. Loved that everything was a little bit kinder to the earth ~ We had a truly wonderful time, felt refreshed and rebooted ~ sometimes all its takes is to simplify things, to really appreciate all we have to be grateful for. Much gratitude also to our gracious hosts, felt very welcomed to their property, but also felt our time was spent in a little patch of secluded paradise. Would totally recommend:)

A cabin amid the trees

We enjoyed our retreat amongst the greenery, listening to the birds. A midnight storm made for an adventure to the loo with the kids in the middle of the night!
