Room in a home
Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
Durranbah Bush Retreat located in the wonderful Australian bush. An ideal stop over to feel rested & refreshed on your journey. You’ll love the outdoors space to wander about this part of Australia. There are tracks and plenty of wallaby trails to follow in the bush.
Durranbah is ideal for couples, singles and business travellers. Close to Gibraltar Range National Park, Durranbah is ideally situated for hikers.
Enjoy a comfortable double bed in a spacious room with verandah access.
The space
Durranbah Bush Retreat abounds with Australian wildlife. The garden which surrounds the house attracts many birds who enjoy snacking on the Grevilleas and other flowering plants.
Wallabies can be seen bounding though the grounds around the house or just lazing under the bushes on warm summers days.
The nights are filled with frogs calling from the dams on the property. A small bettong or bandicoot or possum may wander past during the night on their nightly foraging.
You can enjoy Forest Bathing to unwind and feel nature nurture your soul.
Inside you have a large bedroom with its own entrance and are free to use the kitchen, loungeroom or delightful sunroom to relax. There are many books to read or just watch TV.
I only have rainwater tanks here so please be conscious of this and try to have quick showers. The water pressure will not be as strong as you are probably used to as the water comes to the house via a gravity feed.
The house has a septic system so only toilet paper into the toilet please.
Guest access
Guests are able to use the most areas of the house but be mindful that this is a shared accommodation and please respect the private spaces.
If you wish to use the kitchen, please let me know and I will show you where everything is for cooking.
The bathroom is a shared bathroom.
You are free to walk about the almost untamed 42 hectare property. There are some tracks and plenty of wallaby trails to follow. You will need to be mindful of the wildlife you may encounter from snakes to spiders and insects who may bite of sting.
During your stay
Once you arrive, I will be only to happy to show you around and let you know the attractions in the area. I will usually be at home so you can share your moments with me or have your own personal space if you wish.
Other things to note
There isn’t any WiFi and mobile phones will probably pick up 1 - 2 bars in the house. Walking into the garden or to the top of the driveway mobile reception will be OK.

Neighbourhood highlights
Situated in the foothills of the Gibraltar Ranges, there is many a road off the beaten track you can take to explore the region.
A short drive will take you to the Clarence River where you can swim and relax. Further along the gravel road is the wonderful Clarence River Gorge where you can enjoy swimming or a short stroll to the spectacular Gorge. Or go the other way and you will be at the Mann River at Jackadgery where a short walk can take you to the river to fish or swim. Further up the Gwydir Highway from Jackadgery is the Washpool National Park with many bush walks for the inexperienced as well as the experienced.
Heading east are the beautiful North Coast beaches, Yamba, Angourie and more, which are around an hours drive from here.
There aren't shops close by so anything you may need you will have to bring with you. The Jackadgery shop, which is a 15 minute drive from here, cooks hamburgers, fish and chips etc, has delicious ice creams and other snacks. The shop also has basic grocery items.
