Description

Relax, recharge, rejuvenate...100 acres of space. A great place to escape, enjoy good food, company and nature at beautiful bumble creek. Perfect for a Christmas/New Year getaway in the bush but only 25 minutes to the beach

Located amongst the lush Ourimbah Valley rainforest, on bumble creek is only 35 minutes drive from Wahroongah. Totally private, yet 5 minutes from the F3, this is a convenient base from which to explore the Central Coast...if you're tempted to venture out.

With only one house on the property, the 100 acres of seclusion is all yours. Relax in this architect-designed 3 bedroom sandstone house. Solar panels generate the power supply and rain water is collected in tanks for reuse within the home.

on bumble creek is a great place to reconnect and recharge your batteries, and when you're ready, a convenient base to explore the beautiful Central Coast. The gorgeous beaches of Forresters, Avoca, Terrigal and Bateau Bay are only 25 minutes away. Or why not go mountain biking in the Ourimbah State Forest? Or visit the neighbouring Forest of Tranquility.

We are also a short drive to Ourimbah University and TAFE, Gosford and Palm Dale.

In need of retail therapy, gourmet supplies or cafes and restaurants? Westfield Tuggerah (with excellent speciality shops, super markets and cafes), Lisarow Plaza (with supermarket and bottle shop and the Thai Phunk and Rossinis' restaurants) and the convenient Ourimbah shops (with an excellent butcher and great for the obligatory newspapers) are only are only 10 to 15 minutes away.

What to do? Your choice. Chill out, relax on a day bed with a book from the extensive library, or explore the rainforest by walking up the shady Bumbles Creek. Bumbles was an adventurous aboriginal who lived and explored this area.

The stars are amazing at night - loose yourself star gazing on the front lawn at night.

The north-east facing lawn area overlooking Sydney Blue Gums and the valley rainforest is the perfect place for a morning sun salute to the sound of Bell Birds (yoga mats and hand weights provided). Ditto re sun drenched long languid lunches. Or, explore rural Ourimbah Creek Road and meet the neighbourhood animals.

Don't forget to bring your walking shoes to explore the property and meet the rain forest wildlife. However a selection of gumboots (to rival the seven dwarves) are available for you to explore the creek and bush bash through the lush vegetation.

Perfect for a week or weekend escape to the country.

Your secluded accommodation surrounded by nature

Your solar passive retreat, based on a hexagonal design is made of Hawkesbury sandstone from the property. The house is designed to be cool in summer and warm in winter - a prefect destination all year round. The house features warm, contemporary interiors and cedar and tiled finishes, plus the all important open fire to relax around.

Accommodation comprises 3 bedrooms. In the open plan main house there are two private queen bedrooms complete with fluffy doonas, fans and en-suites bathrooms with showers. Across the undercover carport area, there is an attached studio room. The studio room has a queen bed and a king single bed and toasty underfloor heating. The versatile layout works equally well for a couple or families.

The living space features a soaring cathedral ceiling, inviting Jetmaster open fire, french refectory table to enjoy meals and good company around, day bed, lounge and bean bags to kick back and relax in.

Like to cook? Then be your own Master Chef. The chef's kitchen features European appliances including cooktop, oven, microwave, coffee machine, wok and bread maker. We've also stocked the pantry for you, with a gourmet range of condiments, herbs and spices, bread making ingredients, and all the things you tend to forget to bring and realise you need when you get 'creative' in the kitchen. Perfect for a relaxed but decadent dinner party.

There is no TV reception this deep in the valley and we've made a conscious decision not to have satellite TV or a DVD/Blue Ray player. You can really relax and enjoy time with family or friends over a slow-cooked meal and wine, grab a book from the library or enjoy that board game you haven't played in years. It's the perfect place to go off the grid. But we haven't forgotten about music...don't forget to bring your iPod (and charger) to connect to the Bose stereo.

A full laundry with front-loading washing machine, dryer, twin tubs and separate toilet is located in the main house. There is easy access to the laundry toilet from the studio bedroom via the undercover carport breezeway.

Rainforest wildlife and venturing out...should you feel like it

When exploring, some of the rainforest birds and animals you may come across include wallaroos, wallabies, wombats, cheeky bush turkeys, bell birds, lyre birds, kookaburras, magic black cockatoos, king parrots and an amazing variety of curious native wildlife.

The Forest of Tranquility is 2 minutes down the road and the Australian Reptile Park and Treetops Adventure Park are both only only a 20 minute drive. Why not call in at the Bamboo Buddha Cafe, Gallery and Gardens, the quirky Firecreek Fruit Wine Vineyard, only 15 minutes away at Holgate. We recommend visiting these attractions via the scenic Ridgeway drive on the way to or from Terrigal or Avoca for a surf. Or head over to beautiful Bateau Bay or The Entrance for fresh local seafood after a bush walk or mountain bike in one the stunning national parks or state forests.
