Rainforest Retreat: 2 Private Homes w/ Pool & Creek | Byron Hinterland
Secure both luxury homes at our ancient rainforest retreat for your group. "The Two Houses" combines the sun-drenched Pool House (featuring a private magnesium pool) and the secluded Creek House (with its magical outdoor shower). Share BBQ dinners by the pool and wake to wallabies, knowing you each have a fully-equipped, completely private home to retreat to. The perfect blend of connection and total privacy for couples or friends.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THE TWO HOUSES:
• THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: Gather at the Pool House to enjoy the exclusive ozone-sanitised magnesium mineral pool, then retreat to the Creek House for the unforgettable, completely private outdoor shower perched over the water.
• TOGETHER BUT SEPARATE: The ultimate setup for two couples or a small group. Share sun-drenched afternoons on the expansive decks, but enjoy the total privacy of your own separate, self-contained home at night.
• WILDLIFE AT YOUR DOORSTEP: Share the retreat with nature’s locals. Wake up to wallabies grazing, listen for kookaburras at sunset, and keep an eye out for the elusive platypus in the creek below.
• TWO TRUE CHEF'S KITCHENS: Both homes feature exceptionally well-equipped kitchens and private deck BBQs, making group meals an absolute joy to prepare and share.
• UNMATCHED COMFORT, ALL YEAR: Both homes feature cosy electric fireplaces, comprehensive reverse-cycle air conditioning, and incredibly comfortable king-sized beds with bespoke pillow menus for a perfect night's sleep.
When you book The Two Houses, you get exclusive access to two completely separate luxury cabins immersed in the ancient Gondwana Rainforest. Both are kept spotless with professional cleaning before every stay.
THE POOL HOUSE is a sun-drenched oasis centred around its stunning private magnesium pool. Inside, you'll find a newly renovated designer bathroom, a cloud-like lounge with a 65" 4K Apple TV, and a luxurious bedroom featuring premium linens and plush Sheridan towels.
THE CREEK HOUSE is a secluded sanctuary perched metres from the soothing sounds of Snows Creek, featuring a magical outdoor rain shower. Inside, you'll find bright, uplifting decor, a brand-new, deeply comfortable sofa perfect for movie nights on your own 65" 4K Apple TV, a romantic electric fireplace, and a peaceful bedroom with high-quality linens and custom-selected premium bath towels.
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. We are a world away, yet just 25 minutes from the famous Doma Café in Federal.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.
