Set across 10 acres of natural beauty, the property features a river running its full length—complete with private bush walk access inviting you to explore, unwind, and reconnect with nature. Sink into the outdoor hot tub as the soothing sounds of flowing rapids and native birdlife surround you. Start your mornings with coffee on the sun-drenched deck, where the early light sets the tone for a truly unforgettable stay. This is more than just a getaway—it’s pure indulgence by design. With a carefully curated layout, premium fit-out, and the bush right on your doorstep, relaxation comes effortlessly within minutes of arrival.
