This beautiful, elegant house, beside the small, heritage town of Uki, overlooks Mt Warning. Every light, airy room has a private entrance onto the wide verandah. We have gourmet breakfasts, a refreshing pool and all mod cons. Guests have a private bathroom. Everything is new, and top quality.
Uki is close (10-50 minutes) to Mt Warning, Byron, Nimbin, fabulous beaches and charming villages.

The space
Gorgeous house with lots of light, air and views from every room. Every room has sliding doors onto the 3.3m wide verandah. One acre includes a path down to the bush. Recently renovated. Great for birdwatchers: 95 species so far. Smart TV has Netflix, SBS On Demand, iView, ChromeCast, Youtube, Amazon Prime and Binge. Great Harmon Kardon sound system. The 8x3m salt pool is wonderfully refreshing and beautiful to look at and sit around.
There are yoga mats and bolsters if you feel like doing yoga on the 3.3m verandah, overlooking Mt Warning.
This place is best as a base to explore the area.
Breakfast is on the wide verandah overlooking Mt Warning. All the jams, breads, muffins, chai and muesli are homemade or local artisan products. I offer several different kinds of teas, coffees, juices and yoghurt.
All the soaps, candles and other products are locally made or sourced from Perfect Potion or the Body Shop. Most of the pottery is handmade by Madeleine, the host.
Interesting wildlife includes birds in the bird bath and at the feeder, visiting possums and cockatoos.
The place is very Covid-aware. There are hand sanitisers, disinfectant wipes, a dishwasher, and washing machine. We practise social distancing. The rooms are deep cleaned with disinfectant sprays and wipes.
Mt Warning NP is currently closed, but Mebbin NP, 30 minutes away, is open and has wonderful walks.

Guest access
Guests can use all the space except my bedroom. There is a children's room with a bunk bed and toys. And there is a beautiful room for two adults with super-comfortable Queen bed. Please note: When you book, you are getting BOTH bedrooms. I will be the one only other person in the house. I do not rent the rooms separately but as a whole. You don't have to share with anyone except the host.
The beautiful private bathroom with open shower and freestanding bathtub is for the guests use only.
After doing Airbnb for a couple of years, I have worked out that people who want to stay in all the time and be secluded are better off renting a self-contained place. This place is best as a base to explore the area.

During your stay
I am happy to show guests around or tell them all about the area.
There is a kids' room, where up to 2 children can sleep.

Other things to note
Local market in Uki on Saturday and Murwillumbah on Wednesday. The hilarious Gary Wall roasts and makes the best coffee in Australia, all the in Uki Post Office, a great place to sit on a padded stool and meet some of the fascinating locals.
Everything about this house, and about Uki, is magical.
When you book, I send you my guide to the area. My local knowledge includes walks, food, art and entertainment. I am the arts and entertainment writer for the Tweed Weekly newspaper.
