Description

Relaxing, understated, rejuvenating...space. A great place to escape with family and friends, enjoy good food and company at beautiful Bumble Creek.

Located amongst the lush Ourimbah Valley rainforest, Bumble Creek is only 40 minutes drive from Wahroonga or 45 minutes from Newcastle. 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 architectural-designed 3 bedroom sandstone house, a great place to recharge your batteries or explore the Central Coast. The beautiful beaches of Forresters, Avoca, Terrigal and Bateau Bay are only 25 minutes away. In need of retail therapy? A great variety of factory outlets at Tuggerah and Lisarow, and Westfield Tuggerah are only 15 minutes away.

What to do? Your choice. Chill out, relax on a day bed with a book from the library or explore the rainforest by walking up the shady creek. And the stars are magnificent at night.

The north-east facing front 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 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, or a selection of gumboots (to rival the seven dwarves) are available for you to explore the creek and bush bash through the lush vegetation.

Your exclusive accommodation

Your solar passive house, based on a hexagonal design, features warm, contemporary interiors with quality sandstone, cedar and tiled finishes, awaits.

Accommodation comprises 3 bedrooms. In the open plan main house there are two private queen bedrooms with cosy quilts and en-suites 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 with underfloor heating. The versatile layout works equally well for couples or families.

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

Like to cook? The full kitchen features European appliances including oven, cooktop, microwave, coffee maker, 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 pack and realise you need when cooking.

There is no TV reception this deep in the valley and we\'ve made a conscious decision not to have a TV or DVD 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. Don\'t forget to bring your iPod or laptop with favourite music to connect to the Bose Lifestyle system.

A laundry with washing machine, dryer and separate toilet is located in the main house. There is easy access via the carport from the studio bedroom. We ask guests to please conserve water as rainwater is our only source.

Wildlife and venturing out

When exploring you may come across kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, cheeky bush turkeys, Bell Birds, Lyre Birds, Kookaburras, Black Cockatoos, King Parrots and an amazing variety of native wildlife.

Feel like venturing out? The Australian Rainforest Saunctury (Forest of Tranquility) is a few minutes away down Ourimbah Creek Road and the Australian Reptile Park is only a 20 minute drive. The quirky Firecreek Fruit Wine Vineyard and the Bamboo Buddha Cafe, Gallery & Gardens are only 15 minutes away at Holgate, via the Ridgeway on the way to Terrigal.

Relaxing, understated, rejuvenating...space. A perfect Winter getaway to escape to and enjoy good food and company. Find out for yourself, and enjoy on Bumble Creek soon.

Guest Reviews

 
  • "As we were attending a nearby funeral we wanted somewhere peaceful and quiet where we could all be together rather than in seperate motel/hotel rooms. Your beautiful stone cottage was absolutely perfect. It is situated so perfectly in the middle of a beautiful valley, down the winding trail past Alpacas and friendly horses, and at the end of the trail a lovely grassed hill presenting "On Bumbles Creek Cottage" perfectly. You know when you arrive at a place and everyone is smiling from ear to ear and eagerly running around checking everything out - well that is exactly what it was like when we opened the cottage door. It is a lovley country stone cottage with all the finishings of a modern house, with underfloor heating in the attached bedroom, multiple bathrooms, lovely stone fireplace, great big wooden table where we could all sit in comfort, and even a great sounding BOSE sound system - just bring your ipod or iphone like we did. the pantry was well stocked with condiments and basic food items as well!! What more can I say, we will certainly be back, and have recommended to 3 of our friends already. It really did brighten our time given the nature of our trip. Thankyou so much for such a thoughtfully prepared accomodation offering. Kind regards Scott"

  • "This holiday house is fabulous. It is a beautiful stone house in a secluded valley, but still within easy reach of Central Coast beaches etc. The furnishings, beds and linens are of high quality. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped with quality appliances and includes a well stocked pantry. The kids enjoyed going for walks to see the nearby horses and also paddling in the pretty creek. There is a huge solid timber table which is great for relaxing meals with friends. At night the stars are amazing and we often sat outside eating by candlelight. "

The location is so peaceful and tranqual with a lovely sense of freedom. We really enjoyed our stay there, they have thought of everything."

  • "After trolling through the pages of Stayz.com gazing blurry eyed at many old looking, tacky places I came across On Brumble Creek. Immediately I saw that this place was different, it looked like it had a quality that the rest couldn't come close to. And it has! After a weekend stay I can say this is the best pace within 1-2 hour drive of Sydney (and I've been to a few!). You could see the time, thought and effort the owners have put into this place to make our stay comfortable and relaxed. Besides the place being in an idyllic spot at the end of a track plopped in the middle of a quiet valley surrounded by forest and a huge grassy clearing, On Bumble Creek stands out from the rest because it's well built, modern, clean, and unbelievably stocked with those things you may have forgotten or even may not have thought of bringing. It was nice. I think, also,it was the fact it wasn't filled with dodgey furniture or nasty bed spreads left-over from grandma's house that made it special."

  • "A magical getaway! The sound of bellbirds and the 360 degree forest surroundings made it feel like a secret hideaway. The facilities are great and the special touches very thoughtful. We'll be back!"

  • "A beautiful, well equipped comfortable bush retreat. Perfect for families or couples wanting to escape and get close to nature. We especially enjoyed having native wildlife pay us regular visits in the garden. Convenient to shops, attractions and amenities. The owners were very thoughtful even leaving us champagne as we stayed over New Year. Thoroughly recommend it!! "

  • "If you're looking for some peace and quite, to tune out from hustle and bustle of the city, wake up to the sound of birds and misty mornings and delightful greenery......bumble creek is the place of you. Kia and Michael have spared no expense in furnishing this cosy little cottage, we'll definitely be back!"

  • "We found the location to be very private and peaceful. As it is rural and out of the way there was plenty of wildlife and the sound of the birds was constant. The house was appointed with quality fittings, comfortable beds and we didn't want for anything. A very welcoming and relaxing location. "

  • " The gorgeous sandstone cottage is inviting and has every conceivable comfort. We loved waking up to the sound of the birds twittering and the bush turkeys knocking at the window for a chat! The kids loved the trampoline but alas, we had not enough time to enjoy all this lovely getaway has to offer."
