We knew we’d found a magical spot as soon as we arrived and drove past the row of telegraph-pole-straight towering eucalypts on one side, and giant mossy rocks on the other.
The kids were tired from our long drive but were super excited when they saw inside the cosy timber cabin. They loved sleeping in the loft area in beds next to ours, and it was the perfect size for the four of us. More kids would have easily fit but they got to sleep in a queen bed each.
The cabin is well equipped and nestled in a beautiful forest area. We could hear the creek running during our stay, and the kids had so much fun swimming in the water hole, which is just a short walk down from the cabin and very, very pretty – it’s something special to be able to swim privately in such a pristine location.
It was about a half an hour drive to Byron and the coastal towns, and the town of Federal is quaint and lovely, with good coffee, and only about a 10-minute drive down the road.
Ben’s dad Peter was very helpful and considerate of our needs, brought us a map, extra bedding, and let us have a late check out. We’d love to stay here again.
