Sweeping view of the 100-acre property — green pastures, timber chalets, and the Dorrigo escarpment behind

A hundred acres

Tennis under floodlights. Mountain bikes on back roads. Swimming in crystal-clear river water. Fresh eggs, donkeys, birdsong. A hundred acres of farmland beneath the Dorrigo escarpment — and it's all yours.

Friendly donkeys in the green paddock, curious and approaching the camera

The donkeys

They're the unofficial welcoming committee. Our small herd of donkeys lives in the paddock beside the chalets, and they'll wander over to say hello — especially if you have an apple. Guests come back just to see them.

Full-size tennis court lit up for night games under floodlights, mountains silhouetted behind

Night tennis

A full-size artificial grass tennis court with floodlights for night games. Racquets and balls provided. There's something about playing tennis at night with the mountains as backdrop and no one around for miles. Challenge your partner to a set under the stars.

Two chalets on the green hillside with the Dorrigo Range rising behind

Never Never Creek

Crystal-clear swimming holes just a short walk from the property. Granite boulders worn smooth by centuries of water, dappled light through the canopy, water cold enough to shock you awake on a summer morning. The Promised Land Loop Road passes more swimming holes — easy to reach by bike or car.

The river runs through some of the most pristine country on the mid-north coast. Bring a towel and leave your phone behind.

Everything on the property

Quality mountain bikes ready for guests to ride the local roads

Games room

Pool table, ping-pong, books, DVDs, board games. For rainy afternoons or evenings when you want to stay in but not stay still.

A bowl of fresh free-range eggs collected from the property

Fresh eggs

Help yourself from the chicken coop each morning. Our chooks produce more than we can eat — the least we can do is share.

Veggie garden and fruit orchard on the property

Garden & orchard

Veggie garden and fruit orchard — guests welcome to pick whatever's ripe. Citrus trees heavy with fruit, seasonal herbs, whatever the garden offers that week.

Binoculars and bird field guide on a deck table, a guest birdwatching in the background
