Please be aware that you might be sharing the swimming hole and forest with guests staying in the disco studio or castle, also on the property. You might also run into the owners, Rache and Andre, in the garden or taking a dip. Please do not enter the Castle or Disco Studio unless you have also booked those spaces for your group. The machinery shed is out of bounds.


Guest interaction
Feel free to message us through the app anytime — we’re always happy to help and respond as quickly as we can. We are home most of the time, so you might spot us around the property or down by the river for a swim!

We genuinely enjoy welcoming our guests in person whenever possible. You’ll likely be greeted on arrival by one of us or a trusted sub-host, and we’re always glad to answer any questions you may have about the homestead or your stay.


Other things to note
Fire pit access is only until 10 pm.

We recommend bringing your own bicycles to explore at a more leisurely pace; however, we do have 2 mountain bikes available if we are not using them.

If you're planning a special event or need more space for additional guests, feel free to reach out as we have other accommodations available near the property.

1) Does it rain often?
Yes. Bellingen has one of the highest rainfall levels in Australia, which is reflected in its lush landscape and ever-flowing Never Never River. It also means we get lots of rainbows at the property. :)

2) Can we swim in your river?
Absolutely. However, please note that the river can be dangerous after rainfall and is suitable for strong swimmers only. We have our own private rocky beach, a rope swing, and floaties to play in the swimming hole. Swimming is at your own risk.

3) Is there wifi or phone reception?
Yes we have wifi. Phone reception is limited. Telstra phone reception is good up at the main homestead, with limited connection with other providers.

4) Are there dangerous animals?
There are occasional nonvenomous snakes on the property, diamond pythons and green tree snakes, they are relatively harmless to humans. There are rare sightings of red belly black snakes down by the dam, so please avoid. We also have ticks in spring and summer, so please avoid walking through long grass.
