53km from Dunbogan · 1 site
Cascades Cottage is situated on the Beautiful Bulga Plateau; a mountaintop gateway to national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty on the Mid North Coast, NSW.
The cottage is fully self-contained; 3 bedrooms, a wood fire, and wrap wraparound verandah to take in the view or stare at the night sky. All linen and towels are supplied as well has a fully functioning bathroom for hot showers. Situated on 220 acres of farmland and native forest. Native animals abound on the farm and a short drive brings you to the 160m high Ellenborough Falls. Spend time relaxing, exploring, rehabilitating.
Cascades Cottage is named after the beautiful Cascades that have a drop of around 10 meters, at the center of which you can cool down in a natural plunge pool or sit and listen to the water cascade down a 4-meter fall. It is an ideal space on a hot summer day to take a camp chair sit with a glass of wine and rejuvenate in absolute privacy.
A stay at Cascades Cottage can be any sort of holiday you like - a romantic getaway, a relaxing and peaceful break, or a fun and action-packed adventure exploring the farm, nearby national parks, the fall, and the rapids which is off the farm about 10 minutes away but a fun and dynamic place where you can swim and explore the natural rock pools that run from the top of a natural stream.
Native wildlife make the farm their home. Wallabies, koalas, and platypus can often be seen enjoying the surroundings. Kayak on the dam or spend time on the pier waiting for the platypus to play in the early mornings and late afternoon. A stay at the Cascades will bring you close to nature and give you a wonderful tree change for the duration of your stay.
Guests have access to a large freshwater dam and two kayaks are provided for your use (as well as life jackets). Guests can explore the whole property of 220 acres. There are many waterways and rain forest areas as well as fields and paddocks. We are pet friendly.
Please note: There are several sheds on the property that contain farming equipment, and a tent, these areas are private and not to be accessed by guests.

Weekend Trip to Cascades Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy and quiet cottage. It was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The dam was absolutely amazing, and having the kayaks available was such a great bonus. Would definitely stay here again!
