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 🙏🏼

Barachi (The Shack )
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.

Awesome stay with our little family at the shack - very comfortable inside and the kids loved the hammock and creek. Big bbq and everything else you'd need. Thanks Tania and Peter!

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!!

Magical little spot, nothing to do here but simply relax and enjoy the bush. I highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway. The host was lovely too :)

My dear friend was visiting and wanted to go camping. However, we've had a particularly wet year in the Northern Rivers and this weekend was going to be no exception. But we found something so much better than we could have imagined.
It had rained so much that Peter had to drive us down in his all terrain vehicle.
We were greeted at the bottom of the hill by the cows, the sound of trickling water in the creek, and the only noise for miles was the sound of two excited, giggling females.
The shack is great! It has everything you need when you go completely off grid. The beds are comfortable, and let's face it, anything is better than a blow up. There is nothing like going to sleep to the sound of rain on a tin roof.
Even in the mud we managed to sit out by the fire, went for a swim in the creek, we did try to fish but I'm pretty sure they heard us coming.
There is a little phone reception, just don't expect to be streaming anything. We had Telstra, Optus and TPG and you just have to find the right spot.
They are not kidding when they say you need to be an experienced 4x4 driver. Being two adventurous country girls, we initially thought we could probably trek down when was closed to 4x4; yeah, nah! Don't even think about it. Besides, the buggy is more fun! Don't be put off by this though.
Tania and Peter have created a great little get away and we will definitely be coming back!

This was our 2nd stay and it was just as good as the first! The ability to feel as though you are completely “camping “ without having to pack the tent is awesome, once again Tania and Peter went above and beyond to make our stay stress-free!
We will return!!!

This place exceeded all expectations!!!
Really helpful messages and timely responses. Peter was incredible in helping me get to the site. So friendly, welcoming and helpful.
The shack and the location was perfect. So peaceful listening to the water flow through the creek and the shack has everything you need. Loved the hammock and the peacefulness of it all. Was great to be greeted in the morning by the cows.
Would love to come back again and stay longer. Couldn't recommend this place enough.
Thank you for making the weekend everything I needed.

It was a beautiful and very relaxing weekend. Just us , the creek, the fire pit and the shack. Peter was very welcoming and showed us the way down to the shack, without him you wouldn’t find it . Perfect for a romantic weekend getaway - we didn’t want to leave.

Absolutely beautiful and relaxing! When we first pulled up out the front I was a little worried that it would be too suburbia but I could not have been more wrong! We were met by Peter and taken down to a very peaceful private spot by the creek. The rustic shack had all the essentials and a lot of charm just perfect to get away from the hustle and bustle. My dog could be off leash and had an absolute ball in the creek! The cows added to the serenity as they roamed around. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return!

We loved staying in the cabin alongside the creek. Tania and Peter were friendly and helpful on checkin. We had a good time around the campfire and listening to the running creek.

It was a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives with limited connectivity. My partner and I had picnics by the creek, bonfires, lots of bbq and time to read and chat with no distractions. We absolutely loved it! The curious cows found our puppy very intriguing. The place is well set up, has everything you need, but of course for a rustic experience.

I highly recommend this location as place to stay for an over night or even a couple of nights rest up.. Located well away from any habitation, the Shack has its own creek and small paddock to itself. A lovely quiet location with basic facilities that suit its rustic nature are more than adequate. This makes for a very simple comfortable stay. The Shack is a large one room hut made of corrugated iron and local time. This gives a old world charm about it. A 4x4 is highly recommended as some low clearance AWD SUVs will likely struggle on a couple of the track sections getting in/ out. Heavy wet weather may prove a challenge if your tyre tread is road pattern only. Mobile phone coverage is intermittent. Overall a great place to visit with Peter being friendly and very helpful. We had a great time, Thanks
