Waterfall Hideout from the world!

Hubby and I are romantics, so when it comes around each year, we like to escape the world to celebrate our wedding anniversary and just concentrate on us for a weekend. The last 3 months have been a little crazy with Nico being ill and me doing 7 day weeks, so this year we really needed our weekend....planning it though was last minute but obviously meant to be...

From our first call with Karen, we knew immediately we were supposed to visit this place. Our booking fell on one of only two available weekends in the 2 year history of this delightful little cabin they call the Waterfall Hideout. Meant to be...

Nestled into the rainforest around Zara, Chillingham, it is only about 20 minutes south from where we were married all those years ago in the Numinbah Valley. We love this area and have stayed at quite a few different little places, some with much heftier price tags, but this place was definitely in our top 3. As soon as you arrive, the chilled, relaxed vibe makes you stop and breathe. We immediately felt comfortable...it was meant to be...

With only one cabin on the property, we had complete privacy, a huge plus for us, and could enjoy the sublime surroundings without having to share. Additionally, it was a very eco friendly little cabin, with solar power, composting toilet, recycling and tank water. The wildlife kept us entertained and the constant babble of running water only 20 metres from the front door, lulled you into a peaceful state of mind ...which lingered for hours after our departure.

Our hosts Karen & Ian have put lots of love and little touches into this place and have included everything you could wish for. For a great reconnecting getaway not too far from home, Waterfall Hideout is perfect!
