About this property
Rose Gum Cottage at Nightcap Ridge in the Byron Bay Hinterland.
Come and unwind at Rose Gum Cottage, located at Nightcap Ridge in the Byron Bay Hinterland surrounded by the Nightcap National Park. Curl up by the fire or go for a walk around the 67 acres of the property, surrounded by rainforest and enjoy the plethora of bird and animal life at your doorstep. There are lots of amazing swimming spots a stones throw from the property - Boomerang Falls, Whian Whian Falls. Searching with friends? We can sleep up to 10 (12 with foldaway beds) on the property. We have a second cottage ‘Blue Fig’ which is the same layout as the Rose Gum as well as a rustic studio log cabin which sleeps 2.

About the host
Hosted by Adam and Nick

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.
