We really loved our stay! Nick and Adam were such welcoming and helpful hosts and the cottage and grounds were stunning! The cottage was beautifully clean, well equipped and so inviting. We really enjoyed being able to experience so much nature without needing to go anywhere but equally the convenience to be able drive only a few minutes to see the beautiful waterfalls and more of what nature had to offer elsewhere. We are looking forward to a longer stay next time!

About the host
Hosted by Adam and Nick
Former Sydney creatives Adam and Nick live on-site in a stunning old Queenslander at the other end of the property. Adam is an interior stylist and loves to constantly update the cottages with subtle styling touches to make guests feel at home. We'll give you plenty of space to enjoy all that Nightcap has to offer, but we're also on hand if you need anything.
Why they chose this property
Nightcap Ridge allows you to slow down and escape from the world. Watching birds from your cottage, take a long bath or star gaze by your own private campfire. A perfect romantic holiday, or a catch-up with friends. With three accommodation options on-site, all separate and private from one another, there's also the option to hire all three for a larger group holiday.
What makes this property unique
Nightcap Ridge offers the rare opportunity to stay inside a world heritage-listed National Park. Nightcap National Park has numerous animals, birds and plants unique to the park itself. While we're deep in the bush, there's still plenty of space - our generous lawns are a perfect spot for picnics, ambles and star gazing.
