Federal cottage rentals

This was the perfect place to stay for our family. Every need for our stay had been thought of by the hosts. We would love to go back again sometime.

Beautiful place and great hosts

We stayed here on a work trip and it was perfect. Everything we needed was on hand, two beautiful rooms with comfortable beds and well appointed bathrooms. The views waking up were very special. Would happily book again.

Beautiful location deep in the Nightcap National Park. Plenty of birdlife and walking tracks. The gravel road was a surprise on first run to property however if you want that degree of seclusion it is worth it and we easily navigated it each day, even on a dark rainy night in a sedan. There is plenty to explore in the area. Each night we sat around the firepit listening to the sunset birdsong and star gazing. Appreciated the break from technology and, if needed, there was good reception at the front gate. Stayed seven nights during school holidays, would choose to stay longer outside that period. Well worth a visit, highly recommend.

We had the best stay at Heartwood Farm!If you are looking to getaway from it all, Heartwood Farm delivers that in abundance. The serenity, peace and misty morning views from the terrace over a morning coffee really hit the spot. The styling in the cottage is exquisite and with so many little details though out, including a picnic blanket to take down to the river, lawn games and marshmallows to roast over the fire pit.Nicole and Craig are excellent hosts and went above and beyond whilst we were there, quickly changing over the gas when it ran out, quickly providing supplies of wine and the best chilli margaritas when we ran low. Even though you are in the heart of the countryside you have Federal on your doorstep and Bangalow and Byron within an easy drive. Though we didn't really want to leave as we had everything we needed at the farm.I highly recommend booking Heartwood Farm and can't wait to return.

2nd time we've stayed, will be back, just the best most authentic beach experience, love the historical photos all around. My wife and I, plus the dog, loved every minute of it, we will be back again if you'll have us. Just the best

This was initially a weekend away to celebrate my birthday, however we were enchanted by the beauty, charm and spirit of the home and surrounding scenery, and decided to extend our visit. This delightful homestay has all the comforts of home with extra touches of a luxurious hotel. Being self contained, it makes a fabulous place to escape the propaganda of the world’s pandemic. Derek has been a respectful and friendly host; eager to make your stay perfect and we look forward to returning in the future.

We had a pleasant relaxing stay at Artist Studio Cottage. A short walk to beautiful beaches, quiet location, garden surrounds, simple, clean and functional accommodation. Jan is a lovely, friendly host.
