There were amazing amenities for everything we could think of and the hosts were incredibly friendly. The pond was also a dream to swim in! the driveway was a little bit tricky though as we go straight on the highway where there is a blind spot to the right.

Thank you so much for your stay Brian, it was lovely meeting you both and hope to welcome you back again in the future. Thank you for leaving the cabin in excellent condition!
My partner and I had a wonderful stay! It was so relaxing, amenities were great. I couldn’t stop raving about the bed, I wanted to take it home. At first, we didn’t realise we could actually swim in the pond. It was a first for us both and the water was so beautiful! The hosts were absolutely wonderful too. We are locals and it was great little staycations. I’m not sure if I missed it, but a spatula would’ve been handing for cooking :)
From the moment we arrived till the moment we left we felt very welcomedTanja and DAVE were wonderful hostsThe Tweed valley is a great place to visitPlenty to doThanks again for making stay so great Doug and WendyPS we’ll be back
Very nice eco style lodge.
Great outdoors with fishpond pool weather was warm enough to have a dip.
Friendly hosts.
This lodge is close to interesting places Mirwilumba, Uki, railway bike track etc.
Absolutely stunning little property, exactly as advertised. Could not have asked for a better location or better hosts. Thankyou Tanja for having me, I will be back again before long.
Lovely eco cabin set in the beautiful Northern Rivers. The swim-friendly fishpond was great for cooling off, and the outdoor shower was delightful. Tanja and Dave were super friendly, and had lots of great local recommendations. While the cabin was a touch closer to the main property than we expected, we had ample privacy during our stay. Would certainly recommend this place!
A place to go and relax and get away.
My only dislike was no small t.v to catch up on outside news n things.
Otherwise, great place to go to for some much needed R n R.
Lush green mini-paradise with chemical free swimming pond. Sounds of frogs, then bats and owls hunting at night. It is delightful. We chose it to be close to the famous rail bike trail.

We stayed 3 nights in this wonderful little eco-cabin, and it was the perfect base to explore the surrounding area, which has so many interesting things to see and places to explore.
This property is lovingly connected to nature with the minimalist but super cosy accomodation, the natural pool, and the beautiful green gardens. We had everything we needed to be very comfortable. Even though the cabin is close to the house it felt very private and quiet.
A wonderful break with truly lovely and friendly hosts!
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and hope to see you again in the future!
The property is a little slice of paradise with roots to nature. It is so awesome and amazing. The fishpond is one of the best natural looking features I’ve ever seen and the property abounds with natures gifts. The hosts are so welcoming and friendly and giving with their abundant knowledge of the area. Highly recommend for couples!

Justin and his wife are super lovely guests, very friendly, quiet and respectful. They left the cabin immaculate and we look forward to hopefully seeing them again in the future!
Such a great stay, just what we needed. Easy to find and close to restaurants and things to do. The pool was amazing and will be perfect in summer. Such a great feature to look at and hear the running water at night. The rabbits were sooo cute. The cabin was great and very private - bed was super comfy! Amazing way to disconnect (wifi and reception was great though). Will definitely be returning :)
Loved our stay with David and Tanja. They are warm, welcoming and hospitable. To us it felt like we were welcomed into their home. A stunning Shiraz by the firepit under the stars sealed a great stay. It was great to interact with their family, cuddle their dogs (we miss ours), feed the rabbits and watch the chickens. Three resident kookaburras provided early morning visual entertainment.
A great spot to use as a base for exploring this stunning part of the world.
Wow! I loved this place. Spectacular setting with every comfort you could require. The hosts (who are quite close by but this didn’t bother me at all) were so friendly, enthusiastic and weren’t in your face at all. I felt immediately at home and loved my stay. And the pond!!! Extraordinary! I did have a swim and dangled my feet in whilst reading and stared at it for many hours. Highly recommend.
The property was clean and comfortable. The outdoor shower was very cold in winter. No mention in advertisement of having to go uphill over rocks and then steps to the cabin. Photos in ad dont really show the uphill climb and rocks to walk up. Photos make it look flat even ground. Being a person who struggles to walk at the best of times it was really difficult getting up and into the cabin. We paid for 2 nights but left after 1 night.
