A glorious little retreat. An exceptionally beautiful and peaceful paradise. Ean has a wonderful eye for detail and an artist's appreciation for aesthetic symmetry. In designing and building The Muddy, he has created the perfect place to rest, recharge, read... and write. Or indulgence in some quiet romance. Perfect for couples, or the discerning single traveller who enjoys a bit of quiet comfort.
The Muddy looks out over a beautifully serene small lake, teaming with bird life. The place has a calming effect from the moment you arrive, which encourages quite contemplation. You can sit for hours and just drink it all in.
The accomodation is super stylish, yet not pretentious. It's perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need. If you like to cook, you're in for a treat as the kitchen is excellent. Or, if like me, you are a lazy sloth, the Bangalow village is close by with excellent food and wine. Byron Bay is a short 15 minutes drive, or the cute little village of Newrybar is close by too.
I spent 3 weeks here during an unseasonably cold snap. Thankfully the Muddy has a sweet little fire place and Ean kept me well stocked in timber and kindling.
The only problem with the Muddy is that one day, eventually, you have to leave.
