I arrived at Soul Wood in Bawley Point on a rainy overcast day, but it sure did set the scene for this cosy cabin in the woods. I began my stay by warming up with a cuppa and a good book - Soul Wood provides some great reads!

After perching myself on the bed, I felt fully immersed in nature by the two full-framed glass windows. I have to admit not much reading got done, I was simply in awe of the beauty that surrounded this tiny home. The native gum trees, taller than the eye can see, made me and my problems feel so insignificant. I grounded myself in nature, feeling present, yet so lost, lost somewhere in the woods of Balwey.

An outdoor bath under the stars completed my first night at Soul Wood. The next morning, I awoke to the most beautiful sunrise flickering through the canopies of the trees - Mother Nature was putting on a show. The best part was that I watched the whole show from the comfort of cosy sheets and a warm bed - I didn't need to move at all!

My days were spent exploring many of the local beaches, some of my absolute favourite places in NSW. BawleyPoint, Pretty Beach, and Burril Lake, just to name a few. But the highlights were definitely retreating back into the unplugged world of Soul Wood to enjoy the peacefulness of all that surrounds the property. Feeling rejuvenated, somewhere in the woods.
