The Perfect Place to Reset
Adventure in Girralong, North Coast, NSW, AU
The perfect combination of relaxation and adventure, our escape to Girralong had us swapping between our comfiest jumpers and our hiking boots. The cabin provides everything you need to relax and you're free to do as much, or as little, adventuring as you'd like. The lack of phone reception encourages you to disconnect and enjoy a book, play a board game, or explore one of the three walks surrounding the property. It'll leave you feeling refreshed, reset, and have you constantly saying 'It's pretty great out here.'

- Experience
Just steps away from the cabin door, there's a footpath into the forest that leads to the property's private waterfall. The cabin even comes with its own set of gumboots, so you don't have to worry about getting your feet wet.
The property's Ridge Walk is a gradual climb through the surrounding forest. There are known to be koalas in the area, so make sure you keep your head up!
Walk two minutes from the cabin and you'll stumble upon your own private creek and swimming hole. Though it was a bit chilly for us to swim in winter, I can only imagine how relaxing an afternoon by the creek on a hot summer day would be.
Doc and Kat are the two horses that live on the property. You'll find them head down munching on grass 95% of the time. Don't be shy – go say hi while you pick some fresh fruit for an afternoon snack.
