accommodation
I have two adjoining self contained cabins. One cabin is occupied on a long term basis. The other is available for short term rental.
The cabin accommodates 2 people and is beside the Bellinger River with the Bellinger River National Park on the opposite bank.
It is comfortable, clean and well furnished. It includes:
- queen sized bed, bed linen.
- towels, hand towels, wash cloths.
- refrigerator with milk, butter, bread, jams, vegemite, etc., sometimes juice, cereal, and other things depending on the season, replenished daily. Also tea, coffee, sugar.
- All cooking, eating and washing up utensils and facilities.
- CD player and USB connector for PC, Ipod, etc.
- fly screening.
- bathroom including shower and WC.
- separate laundry, clothes line, pegs, detergent.

Other points to note:
- Cooked breakfast and/or dinner served on our river view pavilion can sometimes be arranged at extra cost.
- We are happy to show you the location of bush walks, creek walks and local attractions.
- The cabins are close to the river and a deep swimming hole. A canoe and life-saver shaped ring are available for use in the river at no extra cost.
- Darkwood Road is a dead end and is tarred up to our property.
- There is no television coverage, limited radio coverage, and mobile phone reception is dependent on your carrier and where you are at the retreat, ie, on the roadside or in the neighbour's paddock.
- There is no air conditioning. Each cabin has an electric fan and a heater.
- Smoking is permitted outside.
- The retreat is approximately 29 km (30 min drive) from Bellingen and 15 km (20 min drive) from the nearest shop, which sells groceries, petrol and alcohol, and is a post office. Coffs Harbour is a 50 min drive.
- Pets and children under 18 years are not permitted.
- Power failures sometimes occur. If the power goes out, you will need to rely on lamps and candles. These are supplied.
- Flooding can occur - usually during summer. Depending on a flood's severity, bridges may be impassable and you may not be able to get out to any shops or services for a number of days.
