The property is set on a ridgetop, with forest all around, and views over the forest to the south west, and east to the ocean, which is a 15-minute drive away. There are walking tracks to explore from your door, and a national park to trek in just a few hundred metres away. The Northern Rivers Rail Trail is just 5 minute cycle or drive away, in Burringbar. This is a wonderful mainly flat cycle path going through tunnels, fields and forest, with many picturesque bridges on the way. This is a perfect place to enjoy nature in peace and quiet, sitting on the large deck to watch for wildlife... many birds, goannas and you might even spot a koala. It is peaceful and private. The cabin is roomy and comfortable - with a main lounge/bedroom, a kitchen/pantry, plus bathroom with shower & composting toilet, and a good sized deck looking east. Facilities include a queen sized bed, an indoor wood fire for winter time, a basic kitchen, and a table and chairs. We are off grid so there is solar power (limited) and clean tank water. We provide drinking water in a filtered urn, and basic tea, coffee, milk and sometimes free-range eggs when available. There is no wifi, but there is internet access available from your own phone. This is a perfect place to wind down and enjoy the natural environment. There is a grocery store in Burringbar - The Barn - that also sells alcohol, and pizza available on Fridays, and Thai food available for eat in or takeaway on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. If you have friends with you that are camping, there is room next to the cabin for tents, or a campervan.Summit cabin is beautifully situated on the highest point of our ridge-top property, with views west to the mountains, and east to the ocean. The cabin is fully furnished, with a bedroom/living room, a bathroom with toilet, shower and basin; and an operational kitchen. There is a large deck with views across the forest to the ocean. The road is unsealed, but easily accessible by car, bicycle or on foot. The cabin is completely private, set within our 100 acres of pristine old growth forest, half of which is a declared Conservation area. Walking tracks start from the cabin, and the bicycle rail trail is a 5-minute cycle away in Burringbar. Burringbar is a friendly village with a grocery shop, cafe, butcher, post office, & pharmacy - & even an antique shop in which to browse. There is also a fabulous Thai restaurant & takeaway (Fri-Sun) and a licensed Sports club with food & alcohol served Weds- Sun.

Summit Cabin with bush & ocean view
We had a fantastic private getaway experience. The air was pristine clean what a dream. The noises were heavenly quiet serenity. The views were spectacular. The log burner warmed up the space perfectly and deeply. We did have to do some cleaning to get up to our standard but once it was done it was incredible.

A beautiful place! Great to get away and to relax with no distractions around. A beautiful view, private, and a lovely cabin. Lindi and Tony were fantastic hosts, full of information and very helpful when needed! I 100% recommend!
