Platypus Bend Eco Retreat - Off Grid rural hideaway

Nestled in the heart of the New England Tablelands, Platypus Bend Eco Retreat has been created as a haven for all who visit.

Situated on a knoll overlooking the head waters of the Severn River with a back drop of granite rocks & bush the cabin is private & quiet.

Designed by ourselves, builders with over 35 years experience, we have endeavoured to keep the feeling of camping but in luxurious comfort.

The cabin is totally off grid but with sufficient power to meet all your the needs.
Our farm is approximately 500 acres in size with the Severn River running along our southern & western boundary. The landscape is a combination of bush and granite rock along with areas of grazing country.
Being off grid, the cabin runs on solar with battery back up. Gas is utilised for cooking & hot water. We have allowed sufficient solar panels and batteries to ensure that whilst you have to watch your power usage we are able to offer fridge, microwave, coffee machine and toaster.

Inside we have a super comfy king sized bed with hotel quality mattress topper. The kitchenette is set up with all you need to cater for yourself.
The deck at the front houses the Webber Baby Q for outside cooking whilst inside you have the convenience of a gas cook top. A wood fire inside will keep you warm on the coldest of nights.

The rear deck overlooks the wood fire pit and down to the river.
The cabin has been securely fenced which allows you to bring your furry friend - dogs only.
They are welcome in the cabin as long as they have their own beds and keep off the furniture.
They can go on walks with you - leased or unleashed if you feel they won't run away.

Be aware that it is unlikely you will see any platypus if you have your dog with you. They can stay in the fenced yard if you feel they won't dig out while you go platypus watching.
Dog minding is available if you wish to venture out to the local National parks.

Please Note: The solar system is not sufficient to recharge an electric vehicles or additional plug in heavy use electrical appliances. .
The cabin is heated and features a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a fireplace and a microwave.
