Sit in the morning sun with a coffee, or wait till the afternoon and enjoy a sundowner on the verandah while watching and listening to the birdlife and soaking up the refreshing greenery of the gardens. You'll also find some amenities in the bathroom and goodies in the pantry and fridge for your stay.

A deep soaking spa bath (coming March 2023) with privacy glass overlooking the gardens, vintage leather sofas, dining setting, full kitchen, euro laundry with washing machine and walking distance (1minute!) to the Olinda village full of boutique shops, cafes, galleries and restaurants completes what will be a relaxing getaway.

Cute cabin, great location!
The cabin was right in the centre of town, 2 mins walk to the pubs and shops and right next to the botanical gardens. Fully stocked pantry which was a nice touch! It's perfect for a short stay, lots to explore in the area and surrounding towns.
