This little tin shack is like going back in time to stay in a timber-getter's lodge. It is full of rustic charm and nestled at the foot of hills, beside and (importantly) in the shade of a stand of large beautiful camphor laurels, with a small creek running below. It really is camping without the tent, but has everything you need in the way of a solar shower, long-drop loo, tanks of water, solar lights and a small fan, gas cooker and large bbq, outdoor firepit, and even a fire-heated outdoor bath to enjoy under the stars, or in our case, a full moon. The deck is large and comfortable with chairs and a hammock which we spent a lot of time in, and the solar nights that come on at night make for a lovely vibe. The wind in the trees and the sound of the wind chime was so lovely to hear and fall asleep to at night, and the cool night's in the comfortable beds made for great sleeps.
Being a tin shack, it does get quite hot especially late morning/midday, but we found shade under the camphor's and loved watching the cows come up close. The creek was really low when we were there as there hasn't been much rain, but it would be so beautiful when flowing in rainy months.
Whian Whian Falls is less than 10 minutes away for a lovely swim to cool of, and we dined at the Channon Pub too which is recommended.
The kids (3 and 1) loved the space to explore, cows to watch, creek and bath to splash in, and fireside hangs.
Peter was such an amazing, responsive, friendly, and kind host.

My husband and I along with our 2 dogs had the most peaceful, relaxing stay on Peter and Tania's property.
Relaxing on the deck and watching the cows graize in the lush, rolling hills was so serene.
Cooling off in the nearby creek, watching our dogs play was so special.
Thank you to Peter for meeting us and showing us the way.
Definitely need a 4wd.
We would love to come back again.

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek
Barachi by the creek is an absolutely magical place. Peaceful, secluded and surrounded by natural beauty while giving you everything you need for a trip away without all the mod cons. Pete and Tania are speedy and effective in communication and are awesome hosts. Cannot recommend this enough. You will not regret your decision to book. Bit of a walk down and back up but that was part of the charm. Earn your holiday!

We had the most incredible night at Peter and Tania's cabin! The cabin was so decked out with everything we needed and the beds were comfier than the ones at home! The dog and the kids loved the creek, we hiked and explored the paddocks :) A big storm rolled in and we all watched the lighting from the porch and all slept so cozy with rain on the tin roof! Solar shower was perfect to give everyone a wash! Beautiful property and very private, we will most certainly come back again! Peter was so easy to communicate with and made sure we were all set. Great experience thanks so much 🙏🏼

This was a great place to stay for our family, which included our dog who could roam around and was really happy. We loved the serenity, exploring the creek/surrounds and unplugging from technology - cards and Yahtzee are a must! The barbecue was great for cooking and I recommend doing a fire at night. The accommodation is as described and I would definitely recommend the buggy ride down/back for luggage. If you do want to go back to your car and do some exploring around Modenville, it is a fair walk (30-35 mins) from the shack so be aware of that if you have younger kids or are not that mobile you probably just want to hang out down at the shack. Only small negative was the shower was pretty basic. Peter and Tania were great as well, make sure you have a chat and ask any questions. Overall - highly recommended.

This is the sweetest spot! Tucked in amongst hills and paddocks, private and peaceful. The dog had the best time too. Creek, cows, birds, and quiet. Only regret is not staying longer.
Would love to go back.

Absolute perfection. Peaceful, abundance of wildlife, beautiful creek and the shack is the ultimate rustic cabin experience. I couldn't stop smiling. It felt like we were in a scene from Man from Snowy River. Absolutely beautiful!
Tania and Peter are such a lovely couple who have thought about everything you may need.
They know the terraine better then anyone and ensured we got to the cabin and home from the cabin safely.
This is definitely a place that we will be coming back to again and again and would recommend this to anyone who wants to step away from everything and do nothing but relax. Our 10 & 12 yo kids can not wait to come back and neither can we. Thanks again Peter and Tania. Was so perfect!

"We spent the weekend at Barachi and absolutely loved it! Even though the weather was a litte wet, the hut kept us dry and warm. The beauty and peacefulness of the location more than made up for the weather. Peter was a welcoming and helpful host — checked in to see if we assistance, when things got a little wet. The property itself is a great place to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings, the hutr has nearly everything you could need. We felt really looked after and came away feeling relaxed and refreshed. Private and highly recommend a stay at Barachi — we’ll definitely be back!"

Nice and cozy place to stay.
I could feel great nature around and the shack was good.
Not a long distance to Bangalow town to buy anything I need.
The host was friendly and he guided us to the shack.
A must place to visit.

Barachi by the Creek was the most perfect place to get away and unwind after a busy Term 1. Peter and Tania have created an inviting space filled with all the rustic charm of simpler times. It really is a magical glamping experience:, one we were very pleased to swap our camper trailer for, for a few days. We highly recommend Barachi for the perfect peaceful getaway.

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek
Beautiful little getaway in a cute rustic cabin near the creek. We were greeted by roaming friendly cows as we arrived. The cabin is set quite far down the property which makes the property feel very secluded. Peter & Tania have everything you need for your stay to give you a bit of a “glamping” experience. Only thing would be is the cabin can get a bit stuffy but if there is a nice breeze then you’ll be fine, there is also a rechargeable fan inside the cabin, we were able to go for a dip in the creek to cool down too. Highly recommended!!
