Just five minutes from the charming village of Alstonville, this rural retreat features eight spacious, self-contained cottages – each nestled in landscaped surrounds for complete privacy.
Wake to ocean views, breathe in the rainforest air, and wander the walking trails that wind down to tranquil Duck Creek. It’s a place where serenity is standard and the neighbours include wallabies, birdsong, and the occasional moo from a friendly cow.
Whether you’re a couple craving a cosy escape, a family keen to feed the farm animals, or a group needing space to connect, there’s room for all. Furry family members are welcome too – yes, pets can join the fun!
Planning a get-together or retreat? Alstonville Country Cottages also features a purpose-built function room that makes group stays seamless and social.
