Casuarina Cottage - walk to town - Mountain views.

Casuarina Cottage is a cosy space & suitable for no more than 4 guests. There are 2 bedrooms. The main bedroom has a queen bed & the smaller 2nd bedroom has a double bed. It has a large, spacious deck with a wonderful view of the Dorrigo Escarpment. It's situated in a quiet & peaceful area yet close to everything. A 5-minute walk takes you to a well-stocked corner shop & cafe. 10 mins further you're at the Bellinger River where you can picnic & swim. 5 mins on & you're in the center of town.

The cottage is well-maintained and clean with a well-equipped kitchen We provide a variety of teas, ground coffee, milk and muesli. It has a relaxing bushy garden, providing shade and privacy from the street as well as attracting birds to feed. The spacious western deck is closed in on one end and provides protection from the weather and further privacy from the neighbours. On the deck, it is quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place for viewing the many birds that fly among the surrounding trees. There is a panoramic view of the Dorrigo Escarpment from the back deck. There are two lounge and eating areas: one inside and the other on the deck, where most of our time is spent there. The kitchen is well equipped (replace any accidental breakages, thanks!) and has functional basic equipment which includes a gas cooktop and oven, fridge, toaster, electric jug, microwave etc.

When you stay at Casuarina Cottage you have the whole house to yourselves. This includes a carport underneath the house together with a grassed park-like sloping backyard.
