Nightcap Ridge is an unforgettable experience!
We stayed for 3 nights, and could happily have stayed more. The property itself has so much to offer, its quite tempting not to leave. The cottage is cleverly designed, with the use of fairly simple materials to create a cosy and stylish feel. The freestanding tub in the bathroom is a great feature and comfortably fits two (+Creek water + Epsom Salts). You have pretty much everything you need to cook up a storm in the kitchen, and after dinner sitting beside the campfire and enjoying the celestial views is all the entertainment required.
Although once within the cottage, its incredibly comfortable, when you step outside you're well aware that you are immersed in nature. Aside from the beautifully maintained lawns, its pretty much all rainforest around you. Take some time to explore the trails marked out on the property, they're only short ones, but fun and if you have a terrible sense of direction like us, you're unlikely to stray too far from safety.
Venturing outside of Nightcap Ridge, the countryside is sublime and the views are literally breathtaking. Minyon falls are nearby, but we spent half a day cooling off and swimming at the Whian Whian Falls.....theres certainly worse ways to spend an afternoon.
Being off grid, the stay offers an opportunity to disconnect from technology and civilisation, to be more present and aware of ones surroundings, (Warning!) you may return feeling recharged and invigorated - id definitely do it again.
Fraser and Sara, are warm and welcoming, they make it clear that they are on hand and happy to help should you need them, however they leave you to your own devices to enjoy Nightcap Ridge almost like its your own.
We left behind a hard drive, and by chance Fraser happened to be in and around Brisbane the next day, he kindly made the effort to drive into the city in order to hand it back, a gesture which was really appreciated!!
