If you're looking for a secluded, peaceful, naturally beautiful place to do absolutely nothing - this is the place! The cottage is gorgeous with a large living area, small kitchenette and awesome fireplace that warms up the whole house. There's a laundry with washer and dryer and a huge bathroom with a beautiful shower that looks out over the rainforest. Upstairs is a very comfortable double bed with these little windows that, when you wake up, make you feel like you've slept in the rainforest too. The deck has a great spa bath, table and Weber that look out to the river.
The river! What a sacred, special place. There's an easy path that runs parallel to the river and it's a short walk to a swimming hole that is actual magic. The river looks and sounds like something out of a fairytale. On the other side of the cottage is a large, well-kept lawn area with heaps of citrus trees that we were able to help ourselves to.
Rosewood is about 15 minutes (20 mins with roadworks) from Bellingen. There's an awesome IGA in town and heaps of amazing cafes. We ate at Qudo which is a Japanese restaurant and really enjoyed it.
Our pup Nina LOVED her holiday. We're so grateful to John and Snooki (the lab) for being so hospitable and kind. John has some amazing stories, is clearly very passionate and knowledgable about the local area and Aboriginal heritage and our stay was enhanced by him. We'll be coming back to this place in our minds for a long time!
