This property is located in Main Creek, New South Wales, where it is situated at the foot of the Barrington Tops on a lush, 250-acre property full of temperate native rainforest overlooking the fern gullies of Carawirry Creek.
The property is bordered by Chichester State Forest and the Black Bulga State Conservation Area, and it is less than half an hour from the southeastern corner of Barrington Tops National Park, where guests will find the Jerusalem Creek Track.
The conservation area provides habitats for an abundance of wildlife living amid Australian red cedar, native tamarins, rose maple, and wet sclerophyll eucalyptus forests. A variety of marsupials call the conservation area home, including eastern grey kangaroos, greater gliders, koalas, and parma wallabies. Other local fauna includes tiger quolls, masked owls, glossy black cockatoos, rufous bettongs, potaroos, barred frogs, Parma wallabies, and superb lyrebirds.
While the site feels remote and provides guests with plenty of seclusion in an immersive natural setting, it is also only a 20-minute drive from the charming town of Dungog, where guests will find shops, cafes, pubs, a microbrewery, antique stores, an art gallery, and supermarket, along with the James Theatre, which is the oldest continuously running movie theater in Australia. The site is about one hour from Newcastle Airport.
