Sweetwater Cottage. A mountain escape. Near the Rail trail for bikes.

a few Kilometers from the Rail Trail.
A large Veranda for dining in nature.
Comfortable inside dining with a fireplace and plenty of wood.
It has a complete kitchen with essentials.
Large King and Queen bedrooms supplemented with a fold out queen couch.
Starlink internet, Satellite TV. Fans throughout, original art and furniture,
An outdoor BBQ & table setting.

The space
This is a comfortable relaxing house and environment.
The house is over 100 years old with some original floors and features and original squeaks.
Ideally suited to couples and small families, a comfortable place to be after time travelling.
The verandah is a popular spot with a hammock along with a big couch and dining table, perfect for dinners and wines in most weather.
Many a small gathering party has been enjoyed in this space.
An unusual glass top dining table and chairs are inside along with an wood fire for the cooler nights. Firewood is provided.

Gaily, one of your hosts is an artist and her artwork adorns the walls.


The fireplace will be set and ready to light. (in winter)

We are in a cull de sac in the hills so there is not much traffic, we (the hosts) live 500 meters further up your driveway and do occasionally pass the house going out. It is 10 minutes' drive to get back into Burringbar, so you really are in the hills.

Do your shopping prior to arrival.

It's great beautiful country road driving, just stay on the left.

Beds are very comfortable and always with clean sun kissed linen.

Spare linen is handy.
If you want to walk on the property and take in the views, ask us and we will give you instructions and directions, there are many kilometers of trails within our boundary.
There is also quite a lot of birdlife and native animals. platypus have been spotted in the creek but not since the floods last year.

Some folk walk to the top of the property to take in the mountain views at sunset. (Mt Warning or Woolumbin)
It is best to walk up the drive and Gaily or I can give you directions.

There are no fences for your pets so they will have to stay close to you.

Starlink has given us unlimited high-speed Internet.
TV is also satellite.
Mobile phone coverage in this area is woeful or non-existent but you can adjust your phone settings for access the Wi-Fi and it works for most plans.
Watts app, Skype, face time and all the other service work very well.

We hope you enjoy the stay at Sweetwater and we are on hand for information.

Guest access
The whole house is for your use.
You will see the driveway from Geles Rd,
Please Park up behind the cottage. there is room for several cars.

Other things to note

Cosy country cottage
We had a lovely stay at Sweetwater cottage, perfect place to come back to after a day cycling the Northern Rivers Rail trail and have a glass of wine by the cosy fireplace. The cottage is quaint with a big deck and lovely vista of rainforest and sound of nearby creek. It's very private. Sweetwater cottage is close to Moorbal which has the only bike hire place on the bike trail that rent normal bikes not eBikes
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024
