Check out the rail trail! then ....... Rest and absorb the tranquil sound of the creeks running water from the comfort of the Shepherds Hut. Rest and revitalise in the outdoor bath tub, on the deck, on the day bed with its window overlooking the creek, or in front of the fire each evening. You can choose, closed and cosy or open and airy, either is easy in the Shepherds Hut. The Hut is fully contained with everything you need for a fabulous stay. Crockery, cutlery, toaster, electric jug, electric frypan, mini air fry oven. (no microwave) Enjoy warming your toes around the outdoor fire pit as you gaze at the stars above. A perfect base to explore the new Northern Rivers Rail Trail which is just a couple of kms up our quiet country road. Stroll around country roads next to creeks, or for the more active ask the host about full day hikes to little known but spectacular Mt Chowan and Unicorn falls. Or if you prefer the option to stay on the property, enjoy bushwalking, hiking and bird watching, or just relax and unwind. We are located a short 20 minute drive from the remote Wooyung beach, or 35 min from Byron. Just 7 kms from the village of Burringbar which has a grocery and liquor store, Thai food and woodfired pizza.Walk or Ride the Rail Trail ......or not !

We absolutely loved our time at the Shephards Hut; the tiny home was so brilliantly built with all the comforts and utilities we required on top of the little luxuries like the outdoor tub and fire pit! We really treasured how much it opened up and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the beautiful surroundings while still feeling very private. Craig stopped by to stay hello and gave us tips on what sights we could see in the area—the rail trail train tunnel was fantastic! Really appreciate the effort and care that went into this site :)

Awesome hidden gem would highly recommend, hidden away with nature but not too far from civilisation. The outdoor bathtub and fire place is amazing when it’s dark, perfect place to relax / unwind.

Great little hut
The Shepherds Hut was fantastic. We had a family of four stay and although we were out and about during the day, it was the perfect little place to rest our weary bones at the end of the day with a soak in the tub and dinner by the fire under the festoon lighting. Beds were very comfortable and all the amenities you might need. Craig was a lovely host and we even saw platypus in the waterways on the property, which was very special.

A relaxing getaway
A lovely private cabin for a couple’s getaway. Excellent location if you’re planning on riding the southern sections of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. We loved the outdoor bath and festoon lights. Super relaxing. Definitely arrive before dark though! The wi-DI was appreciated as we didn’t get decent phone reception for calls or data. The price you pay for seclusion! :)
