We live up to our name as a bush retreat. End of valley privacy is protected by 4km winding gravel road, steep in sections. You do not need 4WD but you do need to be comfortable driving on gravel roads.

Eco-friendly facilities include carbon neutral wood heating, natural water and composting toilets.

Electricity is 12-volt solar, there is no 240 volt electricity. There are USB outlets for charging small devices.

Although there is plenty of electricity for sensible use, if you totally waste it (such as leaving lights turned on all day), the batteries will be exhausted until the next sunshine. If your idea of a great holiday includes needlessly adding to the CO2 pollution of the planet by leaving your lights on all day, you might prefer a non-eco-responsible property that is connected to a coal fired power station.

Laptops and cameras can be charged at reception, with limited availability, or we can sometimes provide an invertor that makes small quantities of 240volt electricity.

A CD player and radio is provided. Rooms are free from technology such as TV, WiFi, phones, aircon, electric blankets, microwaves and hairdryers. Most Telstra and Optus mobile phones work fine.

Water comes from natural sources. We do not add any chemicals. The water might be tannin stained. Each cabin and the camp kitchen are equipped with sub-micron filters that the manufacturers say remove 99.99% of all known organisms.

You will be surrounded by wildlife of all sorts, including birds, mammals, arthropods and reptiles. Animals do sometimes enter the cabins and tipees (Arachnophobes and Allergics might prefer a city hotel).
