About this property

Private Rural Bush Retreat

Secluded romantic getaway. This quality home has a comfortable large veranda with impressive views across the valley to as far as the Queensland border. The interior has beautiful hand crafted stained glass lighting, original artwork and outdoor fire pit set up and ready for you to enjoy. The second veranda has view of sub tropical rain forest. Our guests reviews say it better
"Northern NSW hinterland has a soft, relaxed vibe & with the view from the balcony, the only option is to feel lighter & happy! We had a fire pit ready to light when we arrived for a magical evening all alone in the trees with the sounds of the birds, cows & crickets.
Bed is sooooo comfortable! Chairs all comfortable ! Thank you"
"Kathy's place was just as stunning as the photos, maybe more! The yurt has so much character, so much thought put into its design and location, and we had fun listening to the records on the record player and hanging out on the deck enjoying the view. The location feels so private and so expansive at the same time. Whatever the weather, the view is stunning. It is a perfect place to relax and spend quality time with yourself or a special someone."
"Was a great place to stay. The view was amazing and so close to travel to explore the Northern Rivers rail trail."
We are 'off grid' where all power is created from our stand alone power supply. This enables the location to be so far from the road. We love our creature comforts; cosy comfy chairs in front of the high definition TV. There are books, magazines and games to read and enjoy while relaxing on the outdoor hammock.
The BBQ is the classic 'Webber Q' One recent guest said it was the best roast he had ever cooked. Plus its right there on the front veranda.
We are located on a no through road and a further 600 metres from the farm gate so this is truely private. Art deco Murwillumbah is just 10kms north on the scenic drive that meanders along the beautiful Dunbible creek. South is 15 minutes for the North Byron Parklands, 25 minutes to Brunswick Heads or Pottsville beach and 45 minutes south to Byron Bay.

Lifetime memories made

I loved my stay here. Very peaceful. Beautiful location. Well equipped with all you need for a short stay. I loved sitting out by the firepit. My only bit of advice for anyone looking at staying here is to bring bottled water as the water from the taps isnt good for drinking... Thank you Kathy for letting me enjoy this piece of heaven.

Unique yurt experience

So relaxing lying in the hammock enjoying the view across the valley. The yurt is spacious, clean and comfortable. Cathy and Chris offer a tasty breakfast hamper as well for an extra cost. Internet reception is limited but that’s a good thing when you want to switch off! Close to bike trail.

Just perfect

Lovely country yurt with views forever. Quiet and peaceful, perfect for our 16 days. Could not fault and even the weather was kind. Kathy attentive if needed but unobtrusive otherwise. Would absolutely return again.

Spiders...I love the bush? Leave them?

If you're city...this is country! The highlight of your day will be talking to Cathy...walking her dog...every morning. Best conversation I've had in a long time. Nature rules!!

About the host

Hosted by KATHY BOOTH

Chris and Kathy are your hosts. Our backgrounds are customer service and travel. We know what we love in quality accommodation, good amenities, minimal clutter, views, location, so we believe we can deliver to you a truely great holiday experience. We love meeting new people. We also respect your privacy.

Why they chose this property

The views from the living spaces are a 180 degree visa of open paddock, regenerating rainforest and farm life. Wildlife is amazing.

What makes this property unique

This house is the circular design of a yurt where all living spaces extend from a central hexagonal room. The Dunbible yurt was built by the leading designer Brian Forbes who is a legend in Australian yurts. This is a truely unique living experience that merges conventional house design with the atmosphere and resonance. We are a stand alone solar system so it cannot power your electric bikes. However this off grid means you will experience what is possible and that is a functional home deep in the bush. As for the wildlife, over 40 varieties of birds were sighted here by the Tweed bird observers, and that was just in the day!
