No words to describe this place - a very special cabin in a very special part of the world. Nestled up in the Dorrigo hills amongst native gums and lemon trees, Sally's place is a welcoming retreat with wonderful character which deserves intrepid travellers who will tread lightly and respect its quiet and pared back beauty. If this is you, forget staying in Bellingen (as lovely as the township is) and choose the cool air and starry skies of this hillside property instead.
If you're in the area to see waterfalls, you're better positioned here than Bellingen anyway (it took us 15 mins to get to Dangar Falls, and 12-15 mins to get to the start of Crystal Shower Falls). Red Cedar Falls hike is closer to here than town too. If you're not chasing waterfalls but are instead here to bathe in the Never Never (stop sharing geotags, the swimming holes deserve to remain pristine and private!) then you'll be 25-30 mins away, but the road down the mountain is stunning and you'll appreciate the scenic journey; do drive slowly and take your time.
The cabin was impeccably clean but still stylish and cosy and provides "just enough" to help you remove distractions and live minimally. The only furniture out of place is the TV - you don't need it and we urge you to embrace the cabin's pure simplicity instead. Admire the horses, wallabies and birds (but give them their space), choose tea over coffee, and spend your morning watching the valley mist clear to reveal the tessellating blue hills below. We've found a very, very special home away from home in Sally's place, and have already decided to come back every year. Share the secret wisely!
