The cabin has the most beautiful view over the valley. We absolutely loved it and we're already planning our next trip. David was an excellent host, easy to contact and so helpful with the forecast due the heavy rain that we have this week. It was even more magical ! Cecilia & Juan

Our intensive writing holiday at Araluen Cabin was truly extraordinary. We spent a total of 53 days at this very, very special place. This eco cabin is entirely authentic; built by David Brook, who founded the surrounding nature preserve. The cabin sits high within the tall eucalyptus forest, located west of Byron Bay in “The Hinterlands.” The property has a spectacular view of the rolling hills to the east. You can spend the days here immersed in a breath-taking aviary orchestra, as waves of birds flow all around you and in the canopy above. David has spent years restoring the natural balance of this forest, removing invasive plants and trees to allow the forest to grow back to its original form. He has a house here too - up the hill, which one of the few demonstration units for code 5 wild brush fire resistance. Making it has involved custom designed structural fittings, selected materials and special glass and coatings. David’s dedication to environmental ideals, demonstrated by his many personal actions, is a real example and is very inspiring. The town of Mullumbimbi, center of lots of community activities, is a short 25 minute drive down the mountain toward Byron Bay. Brunswick is only 5 minutes from there and Byron Bay is just another leg further. In the other direction, to the west, the delightful village of Uki is a short drive through the Jerusalem National Forest. This small community is at the foot of the famous Mt. Warning, where sunlight first illuminates the Australian continent every morning. Its spire reaches up to the clouds above a magnificent rain forest with some of the most magnificent trees I have ever seen. Perhaps, the best news of all, is that this property seems to be completely free of the dangerous snakes you may have heard so much about on the internet. Not here! David has never seen them here either. Whew! The local large lizards move in slow motion - as though in permanent dream-time. The nights are filled with rich forest sounds and wallabies hopping through the moonlit greenery. David is attentive and super responsive to any and all your needs. He has real and practical knowledge to help you at every turn, yet he also artfully leaves your own privacy and process. He is often busy helping neighbors or larger community with emergency needs. Dave is a truly special man, committed to higher principles and an outstanding example. I found him to be a real inspiration. Obviously, I highly recommend the Araluen Eco Cabin. Here’s wishing you the top of the morning and the kindest of nights in this very secure and expertly designed cabin in the wild hinterlands of Byron Bay.

My fiance and I stayed at Araluen in early August 2017. David was helpful and informative and on arrival, generously provided us with a range of fresh fruit and vegetables grown in his garden. The cabin is modern and stylish with all the comforts you need for a cosy stay. The fireplace (with plenty of kindling and wood) and the view of the forest and mountains from the bed were definite highlights. Araluen comes highly recommended. Will stay again :)

David was friendly and welcoming. He made sure we were settled in and left us to our relaxing weekend. The cabin was beautiful and had the best views. Waking up each morning was special. The fire definitely helped that cosy feel and the awesome shower with the floor to ceiling glass overlooking the valley was a highlight. It's the perfect place to get away and recuperate. We didn't have phone reception (optus) which was fine by us! Wifi helped us keep in touch if we needed to. Would recommend staying here, wish we could have stayed longer!

My partner and I stayed recently for three nights at Araluen Eco Cabin. We booked it as accommodation for our day at Splendour in the Grass, but mainly so we could get away and disconnect. And that we did. Araluen is nestled in a valley on top of a ridge; the views are spectacular and the tranquility being completely surrounded by lush subtropical rainforest and Bushland meant for an extremely relaxing stay. David was an INCREDIBLE host; such attention to detail to ensure a most comfortable and relaxing stay. From the bowl of fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee beans delivered on the first day, to the extremely comfortable king size bed (freshened even with linen spray), to the great selection of DVD's and a fire ready to light... He had thought of it all and left no stone unturned. I can't recommend Dave and Araluen highly enough. The perfect BnB for a couples retreat to relax and unwind.

What David has done with Araluen and his commitment to the ongoing preservation of the naturally occurring flora & fauna in the area is truly commendable. The lodge itself is even more amazing than it appears in the photos and is the perfect rainforest getaway. David had the fire pre-lit on our arrival and was polite, helpful and a warm and inviting host. The cabin is quiet, peaceful and beautifully curated. We will be recommending this to all our friends!

This is an ideal spot to relax and let stresses float away. will certainly be back. Thanks David.

We loved our stay at Araluen! The cabin is beautiful & comfortable & we enjoyed relaxing on the back deck, taking in the breathtaking view of the ridge. Little touches such as the selection of DVDs & games added to our stay. It was great to pick organic herbs to complement our meals. A beautiful space to rest & recharge. Thanks David :)

Wowwwwww. This place is paradise !! We arrived late night and Tricia went out of her way to make this a quick smooth process. This place is magical !!! No neighbors, just the sounds of nature. If you're looking for a peaceful recharge you MUST stay here. Tricia's communication was amazing prior to and throughout our stay. The home itself was beautifully presented as the photos show. No complaints whatsoever, except that we had to leave to return home. Will definitely be back !!!! - we also took inflatables so we could sit in the creek n chill. Perfecto

If you are looking to get away and have some quiet down time filled with peace and tranquillity then Bamboo Retreat is the perfect place. All you can hear is the running stream and birds during your stay. Its a very special location and property that my friends and I found it very hard to leave! We will most definitely be back! Tricia and her husband were excellent hosts and were very helpful and available to us if need be. We all left feeling very relaxed and happy!

Amazing house - clean + tidy house situated at the most amazing location on a creek. We stayed with our 3yr and 8 yr old girls. There is a gate with pool locks around the deck which stops little ones wandering which was fine for us. Probably wouldn't deter adventurous or determined kids. Our kids loved to explore the creek, have pebble skimming comps, and play on the open air stage. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces are great. Cozy house with all amenities you need.

Bamboo River Retreat is set in an amazing location and the house is so open and and relaxed overlooking the creek and rock pools. Spent our days wallowing in the creek and our evenings by the camp fire. A perfect place to tap out for a while and enjoy the peace and quiet of this brilliant location. Thanks, Chris & Bec

Tricia's place is SO beautiful!! The beautiful wooden home is modern, stylish and so beautifully presented - Tricia certainly has an eye for detail and adding beautiful little touches that compliment the home. The beautiful creek that runs down the back of the property is home to catfish, eels and a beautiful platypus that made an appearance. It is a beautiful little spot to cool off and sit by and admire. The home is situated close to many waterfalls, creeks and stunning lookouts - Mullum hosts some lovely spot to eat, awesome markets and quirky shops in its funky little town - so there is plenty to do and see in the area. A stones throw to Brunswick heads and a short drive to Byron, it's situated in a prime location. The only problem we had with his property is leaving!!!! Il definitely be missing that HUGE king bed and deep bath for a long long time!! Thanks Tricia! We will be back for sure! X

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Tricia's place. The beautiful garden and the creek made it such a special unique place and the kids loved exploring and playing. The house was very spacious and comfortable with a great kitchen and extremely comfy king and super king beds! We had some extremes of weather from 37 degrees to a huge thunderstorm which brought much needed rain to the region and a fantastic flood of the creek which we watched with excitement from the safety of the house. We explored the local area and the kids loved Killen and Minyon Falls. Thanks Tricia for sharing such a wonderful place!

Tricia and Greg have done an amazing job with their Rainforest Retreat. The property is exactly as described and I cannot speak highly enough of its overall presentation. The house is clean and full of character but the highlight for me is the property itself. You can easily spend all day looking out over the creek and surrounding rainforest canopy from the comfort of the lounge room, the large balcony, or one of the many outdoor settings located along the creek. It is the perfect place to unwind and we will definitely be back!

The hosts match this truly magical location. Tricia and Jeff were fantastic. Our stay was just awesome. Stunning rain forest, bird life and Netflix when it rained. A short drive to anywhere fantastic in the region; Bamboo River Retreat is a gem.

A STEEP AND BUMPY,SOON TO BE FIXED ,ROAD LEADS TO THE GATES OF A SMOOTH RIDE TO BLISSVILLE ...ALSO KNOWN AS ALTITUDE 261. A VIEW TO LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS AND A HOUSE YOU'LL WANT TO LIVE IN FOREVER. A POOL LIKE A 5 STAR RESORT , BEDS YOU WANT TO TIE TO YOUR CAR AND TAKE HOME WITH YOU AND A KITCHEN TO RIVAL 'ROCKPOOLS'. TASTEFULLY AND WITTILY FURNISHED WITH A TV IN EVERY ROOM , WHICH YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER WATCH AS THE VIEW IS LIKE A WONDERFUL DOCUMENTARY. BIRDS ARE SEEN BY DAY AND FROGS ARE HEARD WITH A CHORUS OF CICADAS ALONG WITH THE GRUNTS OF WILDLIFE AT NIGHT. THE STARS ARE A WONDER AND THE SUNRISES ARE JAW DROPPING. A FRIDAY MARKET AT MULLUMBIMBY WILL PROVIDE ANYTHING YOU NEED TO EAT ( BE EARLY AND TRY TO GET THE BEST RAVIOLI EVER ) AND THE VALLEYS AND FARMS ONE PASSES MAKES IT A TOTAL PLEASURE TO BE IN THE AREA. A POOL HOUSE HAS 2 FRIDGES AND TWO B-B-Q'S , SO SPEND THE DAYS CHEWING AND SIPPING AND THE EVENINGS AT THE OTHER END OF THE HOUSE OR SIMPLY SPREAD OUT ! THE HOUSE AND DECKS ARE VAST. THERE ARE LOVELY WALKS TO DO (ALTHOUGH THIS IS HEARSAY ,AS NO ONE REALLY MOVED OFF THE PROPERTY) BUT AN INCREDIBLE TELESCOPE TAKES YOU INTO THE BUSH AS IF YOU WERE THERE. ROD WAS CHARMING AND HELPFUL, DISCREET AND ATTENTIVE ...ALWAYS CLOSE BY ,BUT NEVER SEEN UNTIL HE WAS CONTACTED. THERE ISN'T A THING TO SAY ABOUT WHAT DIDN'T PLEASE ALL 6 OF US . "GET YOURSELVES THERE" .... YOU WON'T BE SORRY, NOT FOR ONE SECOND. THANKS ROD AND ASH, SINCERELY , JAMES, STU, ROBYN, BELINDA, SALLY AND THE 2 BOBS

Gasp and more gasps… behold All on its own ridge, in solitary splendour looms our resort for one week. Arrived by night on the occasion of the Red Moon no less, heightening the drama. Lights greeted us and they ringed a lap pool shimmering in the moon light. Then we were swallowed up by a voluminous kitchen with every conceivable equipment and tools. A sunken TV corner with a fireplace was waiting to do battle with our Bluesfest delights. Whoever got the master bedroom would share similar experience with winning the Lotto. It is as described and more! But back to Gasp Number One. The road mutated into a dirt track once it started to climb. Our car protested, the wheels were spinning off ground, and 5 people’s baggage and food supplies were teetering on edge. At one point, a tree branch swiped at the windscreen as we negotiated a hairpin. We wondered if we would live to tell the tale. The car groaned and wound up the dark narrow stretch of gravelled track punctuated by potholes, from recent rain it seemed. Then a concreted lane swung into view, phew! Up and up on first gear to the wonderfully furnished house. In the bright morning light, another gasp, poetic views that make anyone wants to bunker in for the rest of the stay and we said to ourselves, it’s all worth it. Even the 9.8 minutes rattle up and down the slope became light. We lived to tell the tale of a road that led to a beautiful destination and fabulous lunches encouraged by a patch of herbs in the middle of a driveway. It is magical, book it! But do not arrive in the dark, we caution.

Pictures did not do the house or the view justice! My family and I had an amazing time at Rod's house. We were greeted and shown around the house by Rod and then left to ourselves to enjoy the fantastic house and take in the beautiful views. The house was very well equipped and all the bedrooms were of good size. Rod was available if anything was needed. I'll definitely be back!

Stunning property, highly recommended.

Altitude 261 - its scenery and solitude is beautiful, beyond imagination... It's hard to find words which describe the pure beauty of Rod's paradise. Look at the photos and you get an idea - nowadays it really rarely happened that the reality is even better than a good photo can suggest. However this actually happened when we made our way on the windy road up to 'Mountains meet sea'. The house itself is a real treasure - it provides everything you need (and more) to feel at home. The rooms are furnished in style with lots of space and virtually as flooded with light as the sun deck. The bright house impresses with high-end fittings and sophisticated living. As much as we love the house (and myself the selection of books!), the most precious thing about Altitude 261 is the location itself. The views are stunning, breathtaking, so that we canceled all our plans to explore the neighborhood and spend as much time as we could at the deck - the experience of this place is one of awe. Rod is the perfect host - he cares about his guests as much as he cares for nature. We could not have wished for more. This very special place is highly recommend to everyone who appreciate an unique location in an unique environment. We will come back to inhale a bit more of this special Altitude - the prospect of return is the only thing which made it a bit easier to leave. Many, many thanks to Rod for sharing such an incredibly gorgeous home. You made us forget the urban jungle and let us dive into the great outdoors.

As a group of friends catching Altitude 261 ticked all the boxes. It was really roomy, very clean and incredibly comfortable. We loved it so much we asked Josh while we were there about coming back again on a future date. Highly recommend to a large family and group of friends.

Amazing get away with everything you need and an amazing view. The house was set up with everything you could possibly think you wanted. The view is so amazing I could hardly believe it was real. There are loads of places to sit and enjoy it. Would be back here in a flash, I didn't want to leave!

Beautiful home with a incredible

A very beautiful place. A perfect place for a romantic night or two. The host was very accomodating and friendly. We will definatley be back! Thank you :)

Peta and her family were extremely welcoming and friendly. The cabin is stunning in a beautiful and peaceful location. We had an absolutely wonderful weekend and Peta had thought of all the little touches to make our stay even more comfortable. The cabin was very clean and had all the things we needed to prepare food etc. Peta and her family were very approachable and offered us information on places to visit etc. We can't wait to go back again!!

Loved this property. It was just as described and very peaceful.

truly relaxing rainforest retreat

Josie-leigh and Mark Brisbane. Peta your a very lovely and welcoming host and couldnt have possibly done more to make us feel at home. All i can say us this is one special piece if paradise you and your family share with us. Thank you Spent 2 beautiful relaxing nights here and it was exactly what we needed. Loved the cabin it had everything we needed and more. Very comfortable bed. Netflix and internet were a added bonus and loved having no mobile reception. Dave is such a friendly dog and what can i say about the chook house.... there very lucky chickens nd cute bunnies. Thanks again for having us we definitely will be back Cheers Josie-leigh and mark

We have already left a (URL HIDDEN) was beautiful,peaceful and charming.Peta is a wonderful host .The cabin is all it said it would be.thankyou.Rory and Jackie

Love the serenity Great place to recharge

We went to Peta's place to rest and rejuvenate and we certainly achieved that. The Eco-cabin was just beautiful - perfect for our small family. The inside and outside living areas blended well. The kitchen was well-equipped. The bathroom was lovingly crafted and the shower flow was so lovely. The cabin looked out over the forest and creek, and we enjoyed throwing a picnic blanket down on the lawn in front of the cabin and commune with nature. We also went for little walks along the property and played in the creek. As we were with our young son, he was able to play with Peta's children. They became good friends and our son still asks to go back to the 'holiday house' and play with their son. The kids were gentle and nature-loving - which enhanced our relaxed stay. We enjoyed being disconnected from our phones but were pleasantly surprised to see Netflix - gave us a chance to catch up on our favourite shows in the evening. We will definitely be back. It was our privilege to have shared this gorgeous and peaceful space and we think we have found the perfect place to recharge the batteries!

Great location with a sensational view. The place was well kept, it was excellent that we could take our dog and baby along. Emma thought of everything.

Fantastic space to chill out. Emma is a genuine person who has fitted out the accommodation with everything needed. It is very homely and gorgeous

Emma is lovely and her place is gorgeous! We took two puppies and they played with her dash-hound pagi so well! Definitely would recommend it if you are after a private get away around 30 mins to most places and some great walks around too!

This property and the view from the private balcony is absolutely exquisite, looking over lush forest all the way to the Cape Byron lighthouse! I thoroughly enjoyed sitting there watching all the birds and views over the trees. The house is a lovely spacious self contained 1 bedroom house with everything you need. And the host Emma is a wonderfully warm and welcoming woman with a delightful and charming son Asher. I would have no hesitation coming back for another stay!

Emma's place is lovely - airy, bright, clean and with a gorgeous view to enjoy from the verandah. The bed was super comfortable, and l loved the gentle wheeling of the lighthouse in the distance at night. The kitchen was great - had everything l needed. A pleasant 10 minute drive into town. Communication was great, thoughtful touches (tiny torch, hot water bottle etc) made me feel welcome, and a great list of recommended local eateries and activities topped it off. I'd recommend this, certainly.

We had an amazing stay! Emma is a lovely, welcoming and super thoughtful host. We were well looked after and felt right at home. The property is quiet, perfect to relax on the balcony with an incredible view over the forest and Byron's lighthouse. Definitely recommend staying here! Looking forward to coming back.

The cottage was very well appointed with lovely decor and a functional kitchen space and was also quite spacious, with a beautiful view over the hinterland. Extremely peaceful and relaxing with a large private balcony space. Emma and Patrick thought of absolutely everything to make our stay a pleasure. Great to find out that we were in fact the first guests to stay with them, I'm sure they'll have many more in the future.

Despite running headlong into some heavy weather for our mid-winter stay (think 290mm rain and severe weather warnings), the cottage was warm, dry, cosy, quiet, and bright, and we had a fantastic stay. Emma prepared the cottage with a few extras like fresh fruit from their garden, some homemade jams and fresh bread, and a small supply of essentials (including fresh coffee beans!). Our son Jett made liberal use of the chickens collecting fresh eggs for breakfast on day two, and there is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Mullum is just 6-7 minutes down the road with a ton of cool cafes and shops, and Izakaya Yu is honestly one of the best little Japanese venues we've hit outside of Japan. Byron is roughly 20 minutes away and we ate at both The Farm and Mez Club, awesome venues and the food was unreal. The little house is well presented and the furnishings modern and comfortable, fresh linens and towels, and plenty of throw rugs to wrap up in and keep warm while you have a wine on the deck. Patrick and Emma were on hand to answer any questions we had but gave us plenty of privacy. On the whole, the stay was refreshing and we'd go back in a heartbeat, hopefully this time with better weather!

Had an absolutely fantastic time staying here. Nice and secluded location but not so far that you can't get to beach/town easily. The perfect place to spend a peaceful weekend.

Rhonda and Rodney are warm and welcoming people. The accommodation was clean, quiet and in a glorious natural environment. Green, clean, fresh, quiet and relaxing. We swam in the natural water hole and saw turtles, fish and even a platypus- just amazing! This is a very special place!

This cottage and Rhonda's property is just so beautiful! We loved every minute of our stay. It was incredibly relaxing and tranquil. Rhonda was lovely- helpful and accommodating but left us with absolute privacy. A great find!

This place is AMAZING! What a find. So beautiful; we were blown away by the views. Rhonda and Rod are great hosts and had everything covered. Definitely returning!

We enjoyed 4 great days at Rhonda and Rod's place. What an idyllic setting by the creek, waterhole and tropical surrounds. Great accommodation, very comfortable, all one needs, great hosts, we hope to be back. Recommended for a lovely retreat away from hectic day to day life.

Thank you we loved staying in your little piece of paradise

We were made to feel incredibly welcome, the hosts could not have been more friendly, respectful and generous. The building, grounds and whole environment were stunning. We had planned a small family picnic at the beach and when the weather turned windy, we were invited by our hosts to have some guests over. We had a great afternoon in the Bali house by the creek. This is a stylish and comfortable cottage, well worth the money.

Although the pictures look great they actually don't do the place justice! The location is like some dream or enchanted land. The house backs on to the Creek yet set high above it. The creek meanders down towards the house and curves to the left. So you fully embrace it! We happened to see the property in the rain and that itself made it even more enchanting. The house was really well proportioned with large areas to enjoy and view the creek. The house boosts lots of glass and high ceilings so it gives a grand feeling. The décor is charming and cosy, lovely kitchen. All in all a quality finish. Only a short drive to Mullumbimby and other great locations. We loved our stay... thank you!

Murray's hospitality was warming from the second we drive through the gate. I took my wife on a weekend away to Mullumbimby and the highlight was sitting on the grass outside the cabin/house listening to the birds and stream running below. We came back to the warm of the fireplace, watched a handful of movies and I cooked a winter soup. EVERYTHING about Murray and his place is 10/10. Book early because I've recommended it to my friends and I'll be back there myself so I'll be surprised if there's any vacancies.. hahaha!

Murray's place is a true gem ... tucked away in a tranquil setting at mullumbimby creek. Sparkling new and fresh ,well ventilated,... wood fire ......very comfortable. I loved the outlook in the morning from the front deck. Also the side deck off the bedroom is a lovely spot to relax. The bamboo is wonderful. Murray is very responsive and there was no problem with logistics. If you are looking for space , nature and modern convenience Murray's place is perfect - excellent value. We will be back. Ps loved the Italian sofas.

We could not have been happier with our stay - Murray is a considerate host and the accommodation is private, comfortable and well appointed. The cabin is a short drive from the town of Mullumbimby in an interesting pocket of the area located upstream on Mullumbimby Creek. We had a bit of rain (it is a lush subtropical paradise) so after checking out the creek at the bottom of the property, we retreated to a peaceful evening by the wood fire heater. Highly recommended.

The accommodation is excellent. Tastefully appointed, extremely comfortable with a great shower. The situation is perfect set amongst the bush with gently sloping lawns that roll down to a small creek surrounded by rainforest. Murray and Agnius are excellent hosts who are very friendly and well travelled. The tranquility of the cabin set away from the main house means it feels like a real getaway. I couldn't recommend this airbnb more highly.

This is a gem and well worth the visit. Comfy and has everything you need. Great host and the location is quiet, off the main road but easy to find. We have been looking for a place that we would come back to and I think this is it..

Murray was a very friendly host and offered any assistance when needed. He left fresh oranges for juice and beer in the fridge. Beautiful location and serene and quiet area. Nice wood fire :) thanks again!

Murray was so helpful and really great at communicating. The house was lovely. With everything you would need. I wish I had more time to enjoy the surroundings. When I got there Murray had set up the fire for me so I didn't have to struggle with it after a long day! That was a life saver!

We stayed here while visiting Bluesfest over Easter. The cabin was great - clean and comfortable and looked just as it does in the photographs. The gardens are very pretty and we had a lovely outlook from the cabin. The kitchen had everything you need for 2 people. Murray was an excellent host - he was friendly and responsive before we arrived and made sure we had all the information we needed and gave us privacy during our stay. We really enjoyed the location. It was handy to mullumbimby and the festival site and other things in the area, but it was far enough away to feel peaceful and quiet. Overall, we would definitely recommend if you are looking for something nice and simple in a beautiful location.

We absolutely loved our stay here, and Guy was a wonderful host with showing us all how to use everything. The view was so beautiful, pictures don't do it justice. We never got sick of it. The house was lovely too, everything was very clean. The kitchen was very functional, we cooked a lot of big meals and everything worked perfectly fine. The only tricky thing was the driveway, which was fine once you got used to it. It's a bit steep but I made it up easily in my Suzuki swift so shouldn't be a problem for anyone. I would definitely stay again, just looking for an excuse for another weekend away.

Guy was incredibly welcoming and accomodating to our big group, and was very organised giving us a quick detailed tour of the house and facilities as well as a good list of personalised directions to local attractions. He was also on call and very quick to respond to any issues/needs we had. In all, Guy is an incredible host and as you'll also see by the other reviews, his place is amazing. The view is stunning both during the day and then again at night with the un-polluted view of the stars from his spacious hot tub. We'll definitely be back.

Wow what an amazing and unique experience we had in Main Arm! The house is fantastic and had everything we needed, and Guy is a great host. Thanks so much!

We had an amazing time! A two night stay is too short! We had a great time swimming at any time of day or night - the hot tub was a great temperature and always there to warm you up after an evening or morning swim. Incredible view and only a 30 Min drive to the busy town of Byron Bay, which includes shops, restaurants, and unbelievable beaches. Thanks for being part of our unforgettable trip to Australia!!

Great host and even better place to relax. 10/10

Great spacious house, pool and spa. Beautiful setting and view. This is a top house for lounging around in all day and cooking and eating produce from the many local markets (between 10 - 20 minutes drive away). Guy also has a little veggie patch we sampled and was a helpful and welcoming host.

Guy was more than happy to explain how everything worked and where everything was in the house.

We had a fantastic time at Guy's place over a long weekend. The house was amazing and the view (especially viewed from the pool or hot tub) was sensational. Thanks Guy!

What a place. Easily one of the most stunning Airbnb's I've stayed at. The cottage is lovely, classically designed but also bright, modern and clean. The inside and outside spaces are wonderful and the property itself is gorgeous, quiet and feels very private. I would go back and stay in a flash, thanks so much to Steve and Iva for a wonderful stay!

What a fantastic place to get away from the hectic pace of our everyday life. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The place was even better than the pictures. Steve was a great host allowing us our space but willing to offer up good places to visit in the region. We will definitely head back when in need of some more RnR.

A very lovely cottage a short drive from Mullumbimby on private property in a lush setting. Steve was very nice and check in was smooth, he had us some great recommendations for food etc in and around Mullumbimby. The cottage had a really lovely deck and BBQ with a day bed for relaxing outside and the interiors were beautifully designed and laid out. It got quite warm being the middle of summer but the fans were enough. We did come across a few pretty big spiders and bugs but it's to be expected for the location. All in all a lovely stay in a secluded location.

This cottage was amazing. Secluded, quiet, cozy, very comfortable - everything one would want to get away for a couple days. We will hopefully be staying here again!

Overall it was an enjoyable and stress

Such a beautiful and tranquil cottage. Perfect for rest and recuperation and surrounded by beautiful nature and gardens. Close enough to travel to Mullumbimby, Byron and Brunswick heads but also far enough way to appreciate the peace and beauty of the cottage surroundings. Hope to be back soon.

A great place to relax

Steve's cottage is a lovely peaceful haven about 10km outside Mullumbimby. Everything is perfect, the property is beautifully decorated and all you need is provided. There is lots of space to spread out and relax in many different areas, a hammock on the upper deck and day bed on the lower. The sound of the creek trickling away is a lovely and soothing in the background.

Was a great relaxing time, if you are 4wd urself prepare for a steep climb. Some incredible walks and check out the lookout. Thanks Robin and James you were both such helpful and generous people. Samara & Bec

Robin is a great host. Very accommodating and likes to chat once hes comfortable with you! The Den is awesome. Its a cabin in the mountain woods with a glorius view. The trip to get there is an adventure alone!

Robin was amazing and helpful, let us know about walks and how to find the closest waterfalls.. The place is breathtaking, incredible and private.

Our stay in The Den was awesome from start to finish. Robyn was prompt to pick us up and the ride up to our accommodation was an experience in itself! The place is very tranquil, with the most amazing views I have seen in a long time. We were left to explore the property and even made it down to the waterfall! Definitely for nature lovers, a time to calm the soul. Would recommend this experience!

Thank you Robin, going on pictures and feedback I knew your place would be something special, the perfect getaway place. It was all that and more, exactly what my wife and I needed ... a few days of being together in a gorgeous little rustic cabin surrounded by the peace of nature and a view that we constantly became lost in. We couldn't have asked for more, from the 4x4 adventure, to the breakfast and fruit, entertainment system, big comfy bed and outdoor shower, and even to the little personal touches which did not go unnoticed ... your positive energy and many years of hard work shines through all of it ... thank you so much for sharing it with us Brent and Sarita

Robin was so accommodating and helpful during our stay at the den. What a beautiful location! He even gave us some great tips for our next trip down to Sydney :) He made sure we were comfortable and content at all times, and I cannot recommend Robin and his wonderful home enough! Thank you for a lovely Christmas in the wilderness!

A beautiful location and very accommodating host. Robin was exceptional in catering to our needs and at the same time allowed enough privacy to feel we were out in the mountainsides by ourselves. The host also provided a great spread for breakfast For a chilled out & removed experience of the Byron hinterland I couldn't recommend enough.

I fell in love. Peaceful. Quite. Wild but still comfortable. All balanced. Better than You can imagine. Robin & co are very thoughtful and interesting people to be around. Definitely will come to visit a Treehouse again. Thank You

Lovely little treehouse with a comfortable bed and great views. Basic facilities (composting loo and using the bushes for #1). pool area had a little fridge, open air shower and BBQ facilities. Great hosts. Good value for money.

Fantastic views, nice room. Pool would be great in warmer months.

The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Amazing stay in this humble paradise!! Get on it guys :)

The tree house is so cute and comfy. Perfect for a break from city life. The pool has wonderful views, so nice to watch the sunset. Anto was very kind and helpful. I will stay here again for sure :)

Super cute treehouse! We had a great stay here and would highly recommend it. Anto is lovely!

I loved staying at Anto's. The views were amazing and the sounds at night so relaxing and peaceful. The outdoor shower was bliss. Really beautiful property. Highly recommend. I'd stay again :)

What an amazing space!! Quiet, calm, relaxing! The perfect getaway to recharge the batteries. Poor phone reception was great to really disconnect and no electricity in the treehouse deceased light pollution so the stars were brighter. Anto was very welcoming and accommodating. Will absolutely stay again!!!

Juliette's cottage is an absolute treat. Breath taking view and a cosy little hub to re energise! This home is very Eco friendly and for the right couple or individual it doesn't get any better!

We had a wonderful time at the Shalimar roundhouse.Our hosts Carmen and Adam were friendly and lovely. Unfortunately I became ill for about 6 days of the trip but the Shalimar roundhouse was the perfect place to relax and rejenerate. Adam offered some fab solutions for my virus as well. we felt very welcome and we had privacy as well. it was such a magical location and the accomm had everything we needed for a relaxing 2 week holiday. We would definitely recommend the Shalimar Roundhouse and would stay there again thanks Adam and Carmen ; ) x

Although we only lived in Shalimar for brief periods of rest in between trips to the Bluesfest, we found it a lovely and restful place to stay. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and we wish we could have stayed longer to explore the property. Adam was very helpful, informative and friendly and made us feel very welcome. It's a scenic ten minute drive to the gorgeous Mullumbimby and a further ten minutes to Bluesfest/Byron Bay. We will be back for a longer stay!

The reservation was canceled 20 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a fantastic time at the Shalimar Yurt. We travelled with our three kids, who had and amazing experience with the animals in the farm. It was great to wake up and have panoramic views of the mountains, and surrounding farm animals. Every morning we were greeted by the chooks and the kids loved feeding the goats, cows and the sheep. Campfire at night was the perfect way to unwind and finish the day watching the stars. Carmen and Adam were outstanding hosts and make every effort to accommodate our city family. We would definitely comeback to the yurt and highly recommend this experience to others. The yurt is in very secluded location, with easy reach to many sightseeing places such as the crystal castle, Mynion Falls and 30 minutes from Byron Bay.

In all honesty this is the most amazing airbnb i have ever stayed at. Adam and carmen are amazing hosts who provide you with all the information you need. They are super chill and very friendly and down for a chat but also provide you with privacy you need. Its a great balance. Their property is beautiful and is surrounded by nature in the scenery of creeks, waterfalls, eucalyptus forests and lots of wildlife. The sound of the native birds is such a soothing way to wake up. Minyon falls is super fun and amazing adventure not too far. I have stayed here twice now and will continue to come back and visit as long as i can. 11 stars out of 10 :D

Perched in a beautiful, lush valley. Far from the crowds, yet only a short drive to great attractions and amenities. Housed in a unique, spacious and well-equipped building. The Shalimar Roundhouse is perfect for a city escape. We spent a week and it was not nearly enough. Host Adam is a vault of knowledge on the area and much more; he makes you feel welcome and even invites you to pick produce from the organic garden. Be prepared to befriend the inquisitive escapee chicken.

Was so great to stay in this lovely little cottage. Thank you Adam!

Beautiful surrounds, a 15 minute drive to Mullumbimby, a cosy and unique structure, plus goats (I think they were goats) wandering around the area. This is an experience I would recommend to anyone and will not forget quickly!

Great house, great view & comfy beds! Will definitely be back!

Kristin was a fabulous host who is more than helpful. Her directions to the house were spot on. Her house is in a beautiful secluded location with breathtaking views and fantastic amenities!

Happy for all my private comments to be shared. This was a great house with a great host.

We just spent a week at Eagles Nest and absolutely loved it. Kristin was a fabulous host and the property was nothing short of amazing. We have three kids under 7 and it was perfect for them as well. We found the location perfect with both Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay short drives away. We definitely hope to be back soon.

Awesome location setup and views. My guests loved it and would go there again. The house has everything needed for a getaway, just bring clothes, food and drink. The quality of the beds and linen was excellent.

I visited with a group of girlfriends to relax and unwind, we arrived to feel instant serenity and found it really hard to leave. The views are to die for and the attention to detail within the house make you feel at home, they have thought of everything. Kristin and her husband Kelly could not have made us feel more welcome. We all loved every second.

The eagles nest is an absolutely beautiful property! We visited and had a lovely, relaxing he's get away. There is plenty of room for everyone and the view is breath taking, it is private and unique. I would definitely go again!

Eagles Nest is beyond perfection. We stayed with a large group of adults and one child and the house accommodated everyone well. The views are amazing and the atmosphere is so peaceful and relaxing. One morning we picked oranges from the orchard on the property and made fresh juice for our breakfast! We will definitely be back and would love to stay longer next time.

Diane and Phil were the perfect hosts!! Their place was beautiful and I will definitely stay there again if I get the chance.

This place was absolutely magical! The location, house and hosts were truly fantastic. Will definitely be staying again when in the area. Much appreciated and recommended! Thanks guys!

A great little place that was quiet and peaceful - perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our host Diane was warm and friendly and made us feel most welcome! We were provided with some local produce and bread, which was so wonderful. The location and views were beautiful and just the right ambiance for that afternoon cup of tea. Thank you so much for the experience.

Thank you Diane! Such a lovely little place. Nestled up in the hills, even our Mullumbimby local friends are interested in booking for their family. Diane was so considerate and friendly, leaving us fresh produce for breakfast, playing music and burning incense on our arrival. Diane lives just next door on the same property. Diane provides great lists of local markets etc. Very relaxing and peaceful!

Great place to stay, very homely and nice. Loved how it felt like a real home with all the essentials including milk, eggs, butter! Diane was lovely and helpful and we also loved the dog there as well, so cute!

We were made to feel very welcome and our hosts were very helpful. The little house was very nice and comfortable for 2 people, set in the lush landscape of Mullumbimby. We did not have time to explore the property or the area as we were only there one night.

What an incredible apartment and location! Everything about this place is perfect. The well appointed kitchen, the comfy bed, the outdoor sitting areas, the swimming pool, the gardens.... the list just goes on. Diane was a wonderful host - attentive and generous! Thank you for your hospitality! I definitely recommend this apartment!! Luba and Fritz (Canada)

Gorgeous spot, very secluded but an easy drive into town, will definitely stay again next time we are down!

We felt like we were in a magical land away from all the stresses of our everday life. We had a great time and felt so relaxed. We can't wait to stay again soon.☺

This was my 1st ever Airbnb experience, and it was nothing short of amazing. The place is wonderfully magical and exactly as seen in the pictures. It rained the whole day that we were there but that added to the fun of it because we did nothing but stay in and enjoyed the cabin and fireplace. We have already planned our next trip in winter!

Amazing secluded retreat, valued incredibley well! Thank you for having us and will definitely be back again

This magical rainforest cabin was well worth the trip from Sydney. We planned on hanging out in Byron but ended up spending most of our time enjoying the cabin. Its very spacious and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. I will definitely be back and am already recommending this place to my friends. Thanks Peta!

This is a beautiful place to stay, secluded, cozy, magical!

Peta's rainforest retreat was absolutely beautiful. It exceeded all of our expectations, photos don't do justice to the beauty and magic of the location and home! The cabin is fully equipped with everything you might require. We especially enjoyed meals on the deck viewing the rainforest and creek! Peta also kindly left us chocolate and sourdough. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone!! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely space

Incredible accomodation! So clean and beautiful !!! Thank you

Beautiful and tranquil. This was my second visit to one of Peta's properties and I loved the space. Thoughtful little touches and a peaceful setting....Perfect!

Staying in the lodge exceeded all our expectations-from the exciting 4wd to arrive in the middle of a beautiful forest, to relaxing on the deck looking straight out to sea, to being cosy by the fire at night and having an outside shower in a tree trunk. The lodge has been made with love and careful thought to give a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Deon and Robin were so welcoming, and Deon went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It was such a relaxing stay and we didn't want to leave-next time we would love to stay for longer :)

Thanks for the stay! Such a beautiful place! keep up the good work with all the new renovations

The guys made me feel very welcome, free to do my own thing and write in solitude or be social and chat if I felt like it. The place is as described, rustic, beautiful and a perfect spot to get away from city life for a while.

We had a magical stay at the Treepod. It has been thoughtfully constructed and fitted (incl. best outdoor shower we've found), and set in a secluded part of the bush with spectacular views spanning kilometres of hinterland up to the ocean. Robin was a great host-- friendly and professional, and went well beyond our expectations to ensure we made the most of our 8-day stay (we were on meditation retreat and Robin helped us prepare to minimise disruptions). Lots of harmless bugs in these parts of the bush so come prepared to meet some new friends -- the treepod is well-sealed, though, so you can easily keep them out with the windows shut. Overall, great value, I hope to be back soon.

Overall we had an amazing experience and Dion and Robin were very helpful. The location is difficult to get to especially in wet weather, but it is very beautiful! If you don't mind no air conditioning or fans then it's a really great place to stay. The waterfall is epic!

Kyoto is sublime.. We loved the different spaces to spread out and enjoy... The bath was fantastic and comfortably fit 2 people, the bedroom was lush, and the downstairs living area with fireplace was the area we enjoyed the most... As this was a short 2 night romantic getaway we didn't even make it outside into the stunning mountain landscape but we could see and feel it!!... Awesome...

Quirky, rustic, boho, dreamy. Robin's place was everything he promised! Views are amazing and the lodge was the perfect shack for a romatic weekend escape. The fully equipt kitchen meant we never had to leave and the many nooks and crannies made lazing around in the rainforest for the weekend that much better. Could spend forever in the Kyoto Lodge - rain and shine, we loved it!

Ahh!! This place was amazing! Exactly what I was looking for. A friend and I stayed in the Den for 3 nights. If only we could have stayed longer. We had an amazing adventure. Robin and James were amazing hosts. We had so much fun. I can't wait to go back again. It was defiantly an unforgettable trip. The waterfall on the property is beautiful. Don't forget to pack hiking boots, gum boots and a torch. There is so much to explore on the property. And it's not too far from byron bay.
