Escape to Tathra House, a spacious forest retreat near the Hunter Valley. Perfect for families & groups, with 5 king bedrooms, a country-style kitchen & a wood-burning fireplace. Step onto the deck & breathe in the wilderness.
Tucked away in the foothills of the Barrington Tops, Tathra House is where seclusion meets comfort. A sprawling forest retreat designed for families and groups, this private two-storey hideaway lets you unwind, reconnect, and breathe in the wild. With five flexible king bedrooms, a huge country-style kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace, it’s the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern ease. Step onto the expansive deck to sip coffee with the morning birds, cool off in the corrugated tank plunge pool, or simply let nature set the pace. Your private escape starts here.
Slow down. Sink in. Stay a while.
There’s something about Tathra House. The way the light filters through the gums. The way time stretches just a little longer. The way you finally breathe.
A rare escape, and it books out fast. Don’t wait—your retreat is calling.
Need To Sleep 11-14 Guests?

Room for everyone – A huge country-style kitchen in Tathra House makes mealtimes a breeze.
Total privacy, surrounded by bushland – Wake up to birds singing, watch kangaroos graze, and let nature be your backdrop.

Exclusive to Tathra Guests: The Humpy is only available as an add-on for those booking Tathra House—meaning you’ll never share your space with anyone else. It’s all yours.

Additional Information
Conditions of Booking – Keeping Carawirry Wild & Wonderful
We keep things relaxed and easy at Carawirry, but there are a few simple house rules to help protect the land, wildlife, and experience for everyone.
Smoking Outdoors
1. If you smoke, please do so outside, away from doorways and windows.
2. Butts in the bin, not on the ground—no one wants to find those lying around.
3. Fire safety is serious business—especially in dry months. A single ember can spark real trouble in the bush.
Humans Only
Carawirry is brimming with wildlife, and we’d love to keep it that way. Please don’t bring pets—even the well-behaved ones.
Don’t worry, resident wallaby Skip will cure any furry friend withdrawals.
Be Drain Aware
The only thing that should go down the toilet is toilet paper (well, and the other obvious stuff).
A blocked drain in the middle of the forest? Trust us—you don’t want that.
It’s Cool to Be Kind
Respect your fellow guests—Carawirry is a place to switch off and slow down.
Keep noise to a minimum between 9 PM and 9 AM—nature’s soundtrack is already a cracker.
Stick to your space—please don’t wander into other guests’ areas.
