Rainforest Pool House for 2 | Private Magnesium Pool | Byron Hinterland
Immersed in the ancient Gondwana Rainforest, The Pool House is a private eco-sanctuary for two. Swim in your exclusive ozone-sanitised magnesium pool, relax on the expansive deck, and wake to wallabies and kookaburras. Powered by the sun and pure rainwater, this retreat offers modern luxury with a lighter footprint. Peace and seclusion, just 25 minutes from Federal.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THE POOL HOUSE:
• YOUR MAGNESIUM MINERAL POOL: The centrepiece of your stay. Infused with magnesium and featuring ozone sanitation, it offers a silky, refreshing swim surrounded by the ancient forest canopy.
• WILDLIFE AT YOUR DOORSTEP: A sanctuary of silence, broken only by the wild. Wake up to wallabies grazing near the deck, kookaburras at sunset, and watch for koalas visiting the surrounding trees during their seasonal appearances. If you're especially lucky, you might even spot the elusive platypus in the creek.
• MODERN LUXURY & FRESH DESIGN: Inside, you'll find a stunning, recently renovated bathroom with high-end fittings—adding a fresh touch of modern luxury to your cabin.
• A TRUE CHEF'S KITCHEN: Our guests consistently reckon it's the "best-equipped kitchen" they've ever seen in a holiday rental, complete with quality appliances and pantry staples.
• UNMATCHED COMFORT: Relax in the huge, cloud-like lounge with a 65" 4K Apple TV. Sleep deeply in an "incredibly comfortable" king bed featuring a bespoke pillow menu, fresh linens, and premium Sheridan towels.
• A PET-FRIENDLY SANCTUARY: We warmly welcome your furry friends, who will love exploring the sights and smells of the hinterland with you.
A LIGHTER FOOTPRINT:
Powered by our massive solar system (with mains backup) and serviced by pure rainwater, your stay offers all the modern indulgences while remaining deeply connected to the natural world.
A NOTE ON OUR RAINFOREST RETREAT:
The Pool House shares our beautiful, expansive acreage with our second cabin, The Creek House. Although the houses are approximately 40 metres apart, they're positioned at different elevations and face opposite directions, providing exceptional privacy. Your sun-drenched deck and magnesium mineral pool are exclusively yours to enjoy.
Our on-site property assistant, Dan, lives permanently in a caravan near the property's entrance, approximately 70 metres from the Pool House. His caravan faces away from both guest houses, with a garage alongside it providing additional separation and privacy.
Dan generally keeps to his own area and respects guests' privacy, although you may occasionally see him going about everyday activities or helping with property maintenance. He can also assist with urgent property matters if you're unable to reach us.
Dan shares his home with Rain, a gentle, timid blue heeler who is a little hard of hearing. Rain sometimes wanders around the property off-lead, including along the driveway and potentially near guest areas. If you're bringing your own dog, please be aware that you may encounter Rain during your stay.
You'll have exclusive use of the Pool House, its private outdoor living areas and magnesium mineral pool. The wider property is also home to Dan and Rain.
THE JOURNEY TO YOUR RETREAT:
Our secluded rainforest location is part of the magic. The final stretch is along a maintained, unsealed country road suitable for standard 2WD and 4WD vehicles. Please drive carefully, as wildlife frequently crosses the roads and driveway.
The nearest supermarket is approximately 35 minutes away along winding country roads, so we recommend stocking up before arriving.
Mobile reception is limited in our valley. We recommend enabling Wi-Fi Calling and downloading your driving directions before leaving the nearest town.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.
