Just what we needed - 2 relaxing nights in the cosiest little Cabin, complete with all we needed plus more. From Sunrise to Sunset we just chilled, enjoying the sounds of the birds and cows. Will be back for sure and will tell all our friends about this hidden gem. Thank you

As we leave this beautiful Cabin, all I can think of is 'I can't wait to come back!' Thank you Cara and Logan for all your hardwork that has gone into creating this special place. Around every corner is a surprise and the attention to the needs and wants of the visitors is so obvious. Thank you
Simon & Lizzy August 2025
Hidden Gem!!! Love everything about this place. Everything is thoughtfully considered and incredibly practical. Could fully relax and take in all that was on offer. Loved the lorikeet visits, spotting the wallabies and the possum. Thank you so much!!

Our Cabin experience was a gift to myself to celebrate my 60th, but was the gift that kept giving......it had such charm and is built with love and passion and an eye for recycled and repurposed like we had never expected. My birthday became a micro event with with a girls lunch for 12 on the deck and a family photoshoot and live music the following day. Our stay was exceptional.
Col & Flo June 2025
This quaint little Cabin is the bees knees. So well equipped with everything you need. So many treasures. Beautiful views. Great place to relax and rejuvenate.
Dave and Kerrie June 2025
We had such a wonderful stay, was the best way to spend my birthday. We will be back for sure. PS: loved all the games
Di & Dave May 2025
Our stay was exactly what we needed - quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The environment is beautiful, and The Cabin and all its little cosy areas are perfect. Love all the little treasures around the place. Everything has value here, if it doesn't work as originally intended, it is repurposed and given a new life. A lot of thought and creativity has gone into making The Cabin. As strange as it may sound, this space encourages you to look within and find peace with yourself, and to be curious and explore at the same time.
Niki & Jarred May 2025

Such an amazing stay for 3 nights. We met Denise (possum) and her baby, kangaroos and lots of wildlife. The Cabin is such a special place, with all the quirky homely touches. We sure did have an amazing time unwinding in nature.

Staying at Caras charming rustic cabin was perfect. Tucked away in beautiful countryside, it provided the ideal escape. The Cabin has such a cosy quirky character we could not stop grinning on arrival as we looked around. Cara is a wonderful host, ensuring every detail was taken care of. We loved sitting on the deck taking in the fresh country air. It was exactly the break we needed.

We had a fantastic stay at The Cabin! It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing weekend getaway. The accommodation was exceptionally clean, well-appointed, and provided a cosy environment that made it easy to unwind. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable experience. We’d love to return in the future!
