MOUNTAIN (BALGARR) CABIN RETREAT (Not quite glamping, perfect getaway)

600 metres above sea level on clear nights it feels like you are close enough to touch the Milky Way! Come and experience the full 'pink' moon this week!

The cabin is off grid, includes a small kitchenette with 2 burner gas stove, fridge, double bed and 2 single beds. We have a BBQ and fire pit.

Hour and half from Port Macquarie and Forster and one hour from Taree in the hinterland from Wingham or Comboyne (coming from Port Macquarie).

The Bulga Plateau is the place to unwind, swim in mountain rivers and enjoy the Old Growth forests.

In the hinterland of the Mid North Coast NSW on Biripi Country

Balgarr means mountain in local Gattang language.

This is rustic living, no flash flush here but a practical long drop eco-friendly compost toilet and a fantastic gas hot water shower out in the elements!

You will need to bring your own bedding, pillows sheets etc. we are on tank water and at times it is low! Dogs are welcome but please bring their own bedding.

The property is also home to local wildlife and filled with lots of old trees, plants and flowers whilst enjoying your morning cuppa on the balcony.

As we are 45 minutes from the closest town, you will need to fuel up before you head up the mountain. Also bring drinking water and all the food you will require for your stay.

Loads of walking tracks nearby; the Legendary Ellenborough Falls is 5 mins by car or half hour walk through the Elands Village.

There is an endless network of gravel roads and fire trails waiting to be explored, taking you through the national parks, state forests and undulating farmlands of the Bulga Plateau.

This delightful self contained cabin is a perfect getaway for you to work on your project, (longer stays can be negotiated) be it visual art; a book; a film script; photography or simply forest breathing to clear the mind.

Blue Knob (Kaoraoa) at 1014 metres, is one of the highest peaks in the forest

with Panoramic Plateau Views of the surrounding country 40 mins by car.

I'm retired now and appreciate even more, living in paradise. The usually good amount of rain, the ever warmer summers when we can swim in the Ellenborough River. Yes after 40 years on the Bulga I can feel the changes in the environment.

Come and enjoy!
