What a great place! Not only is the location so beautiful and relaxing - the cabin was so cosy and homely, having everything you would need for a little getaway. There’s lots to see on the property, and so many beautiful places on the coast within less than an hour drive. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a break from city living, felt very refreshed afterward.

Beautifully peaceful

The place was great, basic but great. The views from the property are spectacular. It is a studio cabin with an extra bed in the caravan next to the house.

Exactly as advertised, a beautiful old time country hideaway. Wonderfully rustic and off grid. No tv, so while away the hours watching the wildlife (we saw kangaroos, emu, a wombat, black cockatoo, fairy wrens, and a white tailed kite), or go for a bush walk. For those who need to be around people, Nowra, Huskisson and Vincentia are only 40 minutes away, with all the beaches you could want. Or visit the Nerriga Hotel, a lovely, old school Aussie country pub, for a cold one.Marie, our host, was really helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful stay (and ended up staying longer than we originally planned because it was so nice). Bring your music and your wine, binoculars and a camera, and escape the world for a while. We will definitely be back.
Two minute walk to the escarpment and views that go on forever ( do it on a moonless night and see the Milky Way )
Nerriga Hotel is well worth a visit
We needed a fire on the first night and a fan on the second (both provided)
The mist rolled in on our first night, very atmospheric

Peaceful place with unforgettable character

The Cabin is full of country character - so much that is fascinating, and I’m sure quite unique! The property is peaceful. There are surprising plantings of roses (in full bloom while we were there) and other colourful exotic flowers. We saw a family of large grey kangaroos and three emus. We had one cool day with heavy mist and we were able to light a fire in the slow combustion stove in the cabin. Nice. The landscape still seems to be recovering from fire damage that happened 3 or 4 years ago. From the eastern edge of the property there is an amazing view across over wilderness to the coast. At night, the lights of Nowra glow in the distance, and the starry sky is awe inspiring.
