This is a beautiful spot overlooking rainforest on the Bellinger River, about 15 minutes from the Waterfall Way turnoff. Darkwood Road is very picturesque, with lush fields flanked by river and hills. The cottage has a gorgeous verandah that gets the morning sun and is visited by dozens of types of birds. Inside, there's a good wood heater and all the standard amenities. Sharon and Bill are solicitous hosts, keen to share their knowledge and offer tips on where to see the platypus. Highly recommended.
