Additional Information

Counting Star's dome is situated on our 10 acre hobby farm with several horses, cows, chooks and 2 elderly labrador's. The property features many trees but the highlight is several very old large oak trees which form part of a extensive garden- which we are happy for you to meander through and just take in the fabulous views.

The Dome has breakfast provided with fresh free range eggs, sour dough bread and pastries. There is a coffee machine and tea pot with an assortment of flavours. Also a microwave.

In the main area there is queen size bed with luxury linen, pot belly stove for those chilly nights and a couple of comfy chairs. You may choose to leave the curtains open so you can lay in bed and count the stars at night. (It sounds great when its raining or watching a storm pass)

The bathroom has a large shower, lite mirror, hair dryer and composting toilet (which you wouldn't know it is). There is an out door claw foot bath for relaxing, reading a book, having a snooze or taking in the views. There is seating including a day bed and hammock for your use around the chiminea (fire pit).

There is also BBQ and dinning area on the deck .
And for those that just cant live with out it- a TV!

Plenty of room for parking in front of the dome, even for those with a van, boat etc.

Also it is the best place to be when the power goes out as we are totally self sufficient!!! The battery's kick in.

Guest access
Please refrain from going into the paddocks, stay within the fenced area of the dome and garden.

Other things to note
There are to be no fires on total fire ban days!!!

Do not bring your dog as we have dogs and it is a farming area with big open spaces.

One of the best getaways I’ve ever had! The host was incredibly welcoming, the place was spotless, and the atmosphere was simply perfect. It was quiet, peaceful, and so relaxing. I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. Highly recommend!

We had such a beautiful and memorable stay at Counting the Stars 🌿✨ It truly exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, Ant & Stu were incredible hosts — so warm, welcoming, ...and thoughtful. They took the time to walk us through everything, checked in on us, and even spoiled us with lovely touches like fresh eggs, sourdough, juice, and more.

The property itself is just amazing — everything you need to slow down and fully unwind. The indoor and outdoor fire pits, BBQ setup, hammock, and swing all added to the experience. It felt peaceful, private, and so well thought out.

Meeting Walter the dog, the horses, cows, and hens made it even more special 🐾🐴 It really felt like a true countryside escape.

This place has a kind of beauty that’s hard to put into words — calm, grounding, and deeply refreshing. We left feeling completely recharged.

Highly recommend this to anyone who loves nature, quiet moments, and a slower pace of life ❤️❤️🙌🙌

Uralla Nature Walk

Filled with a mixture of walks this nature reserve is best for those who want to soak in some sound of nature and take their time in the forest. There is a mix of easy and hard walks and some are accessible to all. Stewart track was my personal favourite as it was a gentle walk that was completely immersed in the forest. You can also hear the gentle trickles of the stream along the path.
