About this cabin rental
Nestled in the foothills of the World Heritage Barrington Tops National Park, within a short distance of stunning Chichester Dam and only 25mins to Dungog, this rustic cabin, set within the wilderness area is nourishment for the soul.
This corner cabin is high-set to take advantage of breathtaking views. Enjoy the wrap around verandah from which you can soak in the natural surrounding environment in comfort.
Step out of the cabin for, a game of tennis on the grounds or onto walking trails that take you across Williams River and through the heart of the wilderness.
Immerse yourself in the pristine waters of the Williams River. A short walk through the forest of soaring gums, old growth cedars and beeches takes you to the aptly named Crystal pool. This naturally formed deep pool offers a refreshing restorative dip in one of the clearest rivers on mainland Australia. There are also a number of stunning swimming holes along the Blue Gum walking trail, a gentle walk through the majestic forest.
The Cabin is perfect for families with lots to keep children occupied and delighted. Couples looking for a romantic retreat are also well catered for.
The Cabin shares the grounds with other cabins so you may see and hear other guests during your stay.
The cabin features large windows, kitchen area with stove-top, microwave with open-plan dining/living area leading out to a balcony. Take in the views as you sit out on the historic day bed, sourced from one of the local homesteads and crafted from the superb hardwood timbers the district is celebrated for. You'll be joined most mornings by a variety of wildlife; parrots, Bush turkeys, and the resident wallaby and her joey. Lyrebirds make their nests in the grounds and are often spotted (and heard) from the cabin.
Indulge yourself with a bath at the end of the day. The water is sourced from the nearby river and so offers a pure, relaxing, chemical free soak.
The main queen bedroom is downstairs with a queen and 2 singles upstairs in the loft.
The cabin offers a largely tech-free retreat - if your idea of a true escape is an internet and mobile phone free environment this is the spot for you! Mobile phone coverage is lost once you enter the park. Although there is a mobile hot spot at the tennis court that usually extends to The Cabin so you can stay in touch with the outside world.
For entertainment there are DVDs with a TV/monitor, board games and books. There are also tennis racquets and balls provided for use on the full size court on the grounds.
The local townships of Dungog, Paterson, Gresford and Vacy provide rewarding day trips. Source local produce and wares at the growers markets or enjoy local produce at one of the excellent hotel restaurants or cafes. The historic James theatre in Dungog offers a thoughtfully curated cinema and musical programme. We recommend allowing time for such visits on your arrival or departure as experience tells us that it's hard to leave the tranquil wilderness once you've arrived and settled in.
This, from Philip, is an example of the feedback from guests who've enjoyed the cabin:
This is a compact but comfy and well equipped cabin in an idyllic rainforest location away from phone, internet and busy-ness. Just what we wanted for our mini holiday. Wish we could have had longer than 3 days. Beautiful rainforest walks, the sounds of a myriad of native birds, and loads and loads of peace and respite. We made lots of use of the tennis court and took the bikes out a few times too. Already planning when we can get back there

A stunning rustic cabin in a special part of Barrington Tops National Park. Clean, comfortable, quiet and warm. Set in among the gumtrees with native birds and wildlife nearby. We made great use of the tennis court, bath and kitchen. Loved the disconnect from phone reception and wifi the best part. Thanks for a beautiful stay look forward to coming again.

Perfect for a quiet getaway with the family to disconnect from devices. Tennis court was in use constantly and the short walk to the river was great.

Adorable and cozy cabin surrounded by trees and wildlife. Everything you need is in the cabin which makes traveling lighter. (Coffee machine - beans type with milk frother, air fryer oven, toaster, stove top, BBQ, kettle, full sized fridge, microwave) beautiful bathroom and large verandah with ample seating. The kids had a ball playing tennis. We can't wait to come back!

An amazing location in the forest on the border of the National Park makes this a fantastic place to get away from it all. No phones, no internet, only very basic TV, no cars, no people. Just a collection of friendly birds and a few wandering pademelons to disturb the forest quiet.
We stayed just after the NSW floods and had to delay one day to get through, but the cabin is easy to find and an easy drive from Sydney even in adverse conditions.
The Cabin itself has a rustic feel, but is very well equipped and comfortable.
The site has a total of 20 cabins, but we were alone for almost the whole 5 days we were there. The adjacent property has a few derelict buildings and equipment that gives a bit of an eerie, almost apocalyptic feel to the surrounding area and adds to the sense of isolation.
We only did a few of the nearby walks, which were muddy and had some fallen trees from the recent rains, but the forest and river is gorgeous.
We really enjoyed our stay and will be back again.
