    Nightcap Ridge is in an outstanding location - so remote, in the middle of Gondwana Rainforest. You can step outside the cottage and hike for hours in the most spectacular forest. The cottage is beautifully styled, super comfortable and really practical. The owners, Nick and Adam, were so friendly, and incredibly helpful.

    Rose Bank Cottage - Other than the fire there was no other heating. The bed is old style and sags in the middle. Our original booking was the Studio - garden view. We were so grateful that we were upgraded as we’ve since found out that the studio was not as described. For example ‘the fireplace is the standout feature…’ is actually outside not inside. The ‘private bathroom’ is separate to the studio. You are required to walk outside to access it. Not very convenient in winter or when raining. We would not have booked the studio if we were aware of these details. Clearer, accurate descriptions of the facilities of the studio would be appreciated.

    The upgrade to Rose Bank Cottage was great. We really appreciated having the fire lit before we arrived. Lovely bathroom.

    I love the remoteness of the location in the middle of the bush with clean air nature’s noises only perfect clear sky for sky gazing & so much more that needs to be seen, felt & smelled.

    The road in was an experience. Which I have been told in in the works to be fixed. Drive with care. The scenery made it worth it though ☺️

    Coming into the cottage on a rainy night to a lovely fire going was so welcoming. Our hostess was friendly and very helpful. The views through the windows were a balm to me, beauty all around. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin, very spacious and comfortable.

    The roads to get there were less than ideal. even in a UTE it was slow going, not knowing how bad it could have been I don't think i would have been able to get there if we took out other car.

    This place is amazing for anyone who wants to get away from reality, quiet and relaxing. All you need to do it bring your own things, and know how to stoke a fire in the cold (possibly bring your own small heater for the rooms if its winter) Otherwise come in, bring a book, some wine and relax

    We took the rough road to the property. It’s actually 20 mins of small and dirt/gravel road, just need to drive slow and it’s fine. But i think I took the other entrance with 40 mins of dirt road. Also, weather was a bit unexpected. Was raining most of our stay but it was okay for a change to stay indoors. Careful with the leeches during wet season.

    It was quiet, peaceful and refreshing. Tiny little cabin had almost everything we needed. Bed was comfy, bathroom was clean. The owner was also very welcoming and helpful. I was able to use the firewood despite the rain, owner helped us. It’s not very close to cabin, I think for safety reasons.

    Nothing. Be aware of leeches!

    Excellent stay. The house was beautifully presented with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. Everything was provided that was needed for a relaxing stay. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit. The natural surroundings provided peaceful walks in the forest and a restful time. Highly recommended.

    The host lives on the property and was able to get us settled in nicely. The view, the forest, the wildlife, all were stunning. Such a cozy little mountain forest getaway. Roads leading to the property weren't good due to poor weather which made for some difficulty getting to the property in a small car.

    Phenomenal property on the edge of the national park. The cottage was honestly one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Everything in the cottage seemed considered and designed to evoke peace and presence. From something as simple as the lack of visible powerpoints, to the beautiful retro radio and lounge setting to the deeply peaceful clawfoot bath and fireplace. We arrived, went back in time for a few days to when life felt simpler and left feeling truly content - something rare in this age. Additionally, Sara the host was incredibly thoughtful and accomodating. Magical place, thanks for having us, we will be back and will tell all our friends x
