About this house rental
High amongst the trees next to the National Park, Samsara is a spacious, fully airconditioned 2 bedroom, 2 level, elevated holiday home which is extremely private, yet close to all amenities.

Samsara sleeps a maximum of 4 adults & 2 children.

Note that Homeaway charge the guest a booking fee on top of these prices between 3% & 12% depending on the length of stay.
There is a 5 night minimum stay for the Christmas/ New Year & Easter period.
The house is unfenced so merges into the beauty of the park with impressive trees, granite boulders & a seasonal creek.
Relax on the deck & watch the Island's wildlife.
In the wet season the creek runs past the house so you have your own private spa with a rock pool 40 metres upstream.
The Rainbow Lorikeets & Kookaburra's visit the deck every day & Koala's inhabit the trees at the rear of the house.
As evening approaches, the Possums, Curlews & Wallabies emerge.
