Additional Information

Tallowwood House was designed and hand built by our neighbour—a Japanese furniture maker—in 1979. It is a unique, rustic and intimate cabin that includes:

- A private sauna
- A loft bedroom with a king size bed
- A lounge with two daybeds that can accommodate additional guests upon request
- A small, but spacious kitchen with electric cooktops, a fridge, toaster, kettles, moka coffee pot and all the cookware and utensils you could ever need
- An indoor fireplace (Note: firewood is not provided from Oct - March)
- 2 showers (one indoor and one outdoor)
- An outdoor bath (with hot and cold water taps)
- A large outdoor deck
- Outdoor dining table and seats
- A fire pit

Outside of the home, you can also enjoy:

Bush walking tracks that traverse through the property

Guest access
You will have private access to:

- The whole house
- Backyard
- Outdoor bath
- Sauna

You will have shared access to:
- Driveway and walking trails that traverse the property. The owner lives in the cabin next door (completely private from your cabin) and you both will use the same driveway.

To access the house from the driveway/car park, you will need to walk up a pathway that has steps. This pathway is a little steep. Please take this into consideration when booking.

Absolutely loved our stay, Josh was an amazing host. Everything about the house and our stay was really well considered. Everything we needed and nothing we didn’t.

This quaint spot was perfect for fueling up the bikes and grabbing a bite to eat and enjoy the outdoor seating and views. There's a museum filled with roadhouse memorabilia, worth the visit!

This beautiful national park captures the unique rainforest terrain of the Northern Rivers. Located on the outskirts of quaint country town Uki in the Tweed Valley; the park offers stunning walking tracks, vibrant wildlife and in contrast to its name the beautiful ‘Hell Hole Falls’.
