Set within a beautiful rainforest valley near Mullumbimby and the beaches of Brunswick Heads and Byron, this timber roundhouse-style yurt offers a unique, circular self-contained guest space within our certified organic permaculture farm called Midgard Mountain.
Situated just 20 minutes from the beautiful river and beaches of Brunswick Heads, north of Byron, our certified organic permaculture farm sits amongst a large rural landscape is a mix of vast open mountain plateaus with panoramic views surrounded by sub-tropical rainforest and a national park boundary.
The surrounding valley has a number of freshwater creeks with beautiful swimming holes, rock features, bush walks and lookouts with panoramic views.

One large central, circular room which has 2 queen beds, lounge, sofa bed etc.
Adjoining this large room is a small self-contained kitchen, a small bathroom with a shower and compost toilet, a sitting/dining room and a large timber deck. The internal bathroom space has an odorless composting toilet and there is a nice outdoor tropical-style shower with hot water on the deck, one step from the door offering full privacy but with views from the shower up to the mountain and rainforests.

Organic Vegetables & Herbs to Use (when available and in season)
Fresh, pristine mountain spring water from the rainforest is used for drinking, bathing and growing food and we have a mix of organic vegetable gardens, fruit trees, orchards, goats, sheep, cows, chickens and self-reliance/permaculture systems which are spread out across the landscape. There are also native animals and lots of bird-life.
The Shalimar is ideal for relaxing, exploring the local area, observing birds, wildlife, permaculture, organic gardening, ethical animal husbandry, therapeutic/medicinal foods and plants, rainforest ecology, local hinterland villages, towns and scenery.
Conveniently located close enough to the coast and nearby attractions but in a quiet, beautiful mountain setting, the Shalimar Roundhouse is suitable for individuals, couples, friends and families on a short to longer-term basis.
Another three guest spaces across the farm provide the option for group bookings, retreats, activities or workshops. We can provide local, organic foods or full catering options and offer some experiential activities such as a permaculture and rainforest tour. Please enquire for more details.
