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.
