Bower: 'An attractive dwelling or retreat'.

Braelee Bower is all this and more. A pleasant adults only, secluded rural hideaway, the perfect place to unplug. Much thought has gone into the open-plan design in order to create a feeling of being at one with your surroundings. Be woken to the sound of birdsong, throw wide open the stack-back doors to allow the outside in, or snuggle up inside.

Complete with the latest fixtures and fittings, the Bower has everything you need for a rural escape. A comfortable queen bed with quality linens, fully equipped kitchen, indoor bathroom and laundry and reverse cycle air-conditioning.

Relax by the outdoor fire-pit (when permits allow) or take a soak under the stars in the rustic bathtub. You are also free to wander the property and visit our friendly cows at your leisure.

Additional Information

*PLEASE NOTE *
The Bower is a fully isolated building, there is no need for any physical interaction between guests and hosts. We’re committed to an enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed in partnership with experts in health and hospitality. Your health and happiness is our priority.

The Bower is 50m from the main home allowing complete privacy. We reside on the property and are available should you have any additional needs. We are more than happy to provide local knowledge of the myriad of things available to see and do in the surrounding area.

Rollands Plains is a picturesque valley bounded by Willi Willi National Park mountains to the west, State Forestry to the south and the Wilson River to the north. A mixture of lifestyle farmlets, cattle and dairy farms occupy the area. Wildlife, especially birdlife, abounds and it's quite common to see flocks of birds winging their way through the valley.

We are located 30km's from Port Macquarie, a great halfway stop between Sydney and Brisbane. There are many national parks, scenic unpopulated beaches, and hinterlands nearby, perfect for social distancing! The delightful towns of Port Macquarie and Wauchope are both within half an hours drive. If you choose to drag yourself away from the property there is plenty to explore.

We had such a lovely weekend here. The cottage is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly cozy, perfect for a quiet getaway as a couple. Debbie was genuinely kind and welcoming from the beginning, which m...ade the whole stay feel even more special.

One of our favourite parts was spending the evening by the outdoor fireplace and stargazing. It’s so quiet out there that you can properly disconnect for a bit and just enjoy the surroundings. The views are amazing, and the atmosphere feels really calm and romantic.

The kitchen was also great, we cooked steaks one night and had everything we needed. You can tell a lot of care went into the place.

We left feeling rested and already talking about coming back someday.

We had such a lovely time staying here. Between the peaceful setting, breathtaking views, and the cows wandering by, it was hard not to feel instantly relaxed. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

After travelling around Australia for 18 months with our two small children twelve years ago we were captivated by the mid-north coast of NSW. Once we happened upon the Rollands Plains Valley we knew we'd found just the place to create a home for our now adult children. We enjoy all the mid-north coast has to offer in terms of national parks, beaches, eateries, wineries, art and culture. We love to travel, meeting people and sharing life. We are blessed to live where we do and would love to share our precious piece of paradise with you.

Picnic Games On The Lawn

During our stay, we had a picnic on the property while taking in the great views. We set up a blanket in a sunny spot and enjoyed some snacks as we relaxed and took in the surroundings. After lunch, we played a game of Battle Blocks, having fun and sharing a few laughs as we competed. It was a simple and enjoyable way to spend the afternoon.

Pops Swimming Hole

Pop's Hole in Rollands Plains is a deep waterhole that’s great for a swim. Surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature, it’s a relaxing spot to cool down and take a break. Whether swimming or sitting by the water, it’s a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors.
