The cabin is a great nature retreat and a writer’s or artist’s retreat, with a study and desk space.

Review: As you walk down the trail towards the cottage the forest canopy opens up to shine a light down onto this little gem. The sound of the bubbling creek is thoroughly relaxing. Sitting on the verandah and taking in the sights and sounds and just thinking about nothing.

Review: The cabin is clean, well designed, and set in stunning surroundings. Sunshine filters through the tall forest trees in the morning. A creek bends around the edge of the forest and at night the stars are thick.

FYI: The cottage is a 200-metre walk from the carpark through the gardens. The owners can help you with your luggage.
