Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian)Face & body MASSAGE
This not your typical massage therapy; it’s a journey towards harmony, balance, and deep relaxation. Lomi Lomi seeks to restore the natural flow of energy in the body, known as “mana” in Hawaiian culture. This concept of mana represents life force and spiritual energy, and Lomi Lomi aims to ensure it flows freely. It’s not just about the physical act of massage; it’s about caring for the person as a whole. In our fast-paced world, the need for such holistic care is more relevant than ever.
In summer held beneath the dappled sunlight of the birdsong forest in the crystal clear water , watch the moving crystal clear water gently moving the body's stresses away over the quartz stones.
$150 for 90 mins of deeply relaxing bliss

To make your stay even more beautiful....
Digital detox coming up so download some tunes and podcasts.

So you don't double up ...the cabin bathroom has body wash, hair products, bath mineral salts, towels and facecloths, hairdryer, brushes and hair tongs.
Drift off to sleep on the 'cloud puff' bedding. Snug in winter and cool in summer.
In the kitchen… gas cook top, (outdoor BBQ for frying/grilling), toaster, coffee machine, fridge (no freezer), comprehensive cooking utensils, rainwater, tea selection, freshly ground coffee, olive oil, Himalayan salt, ground pepper.... all organic. It’s a joy to cook overlooking the forest, the flowing creek, and the veg gardens.

Guest access
In the tradition of a remote forest cabin , this as a perfect opportunity for a digital detox . We are deep in the forest so there are no Telstra or internet towers beaming out EMF's. The benefit to your body with having time off from the gigs, giving your mind a technology holiday is profound. So remember to download some tunes and podcasts to play through the bluetooth sound system

Wander in the creek,
Cleanse your cluttered mind reflecting & meditating into the spirit pools of the crystalline waters .
Take a morning run or slow stroll up the country road
Lounge creek-side in the hammock
Winter cold plunge or summer frolic in the pure crystal clear waters of Nulla Nulla Creek, Which surely must be some of the cleanest water on planet earth.
We offer a bunch of offering to calm your nervous system & renew positivity in your life .
Perhaps book a mediation, yoga, breathwork session session, or a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage creek-side :-)

Other things to note
The Homestead is also an AIRBNB, it is some distance away.

Neighbourhood highlights

Nulla Nulla Blacksmith's Retreat is located near the historic village of Bellbrook, a bit over 1 hour drive from Kempsey and 2 hours from Port Macquarie in NSW.

Approximately halfway between Sydney and Brisbane , accessed through the town of Kempsey.
From Sydney: 6 hour drive
From Brisbane: 7 hour drive
The amazing Cresent Head National Park & South West Rocks are the nearest beaches and are all within a 2 hour drive.

From Kempsey, the drive is sixty-six kilometres on one of the most beautiful drives in Australia. After leaving the fantastic new Pacific Highway freeway and Kempsey, the road meanders through the small village of Willawarrin (the last fuel stop), providing you with nothing short of spectacular vistas of the mighty Macleay River.

The Macleay Valley has a deep resonance of aboriginal culture that was intertwined with the landscape, that was destroyed with white settlement. We honour the native indigenous Australians harmonious understanding of living with nature so beautifully for thousands and thousands of years . It is one of the last coastal valleys that remains undeveloped in NSW.

The cabin is nestled in the Nulla Nulla Valley, just a short distance from the boyhood home of Slim Dusty. Come , it is very special and will fill your soul with joy and recalibration , with the nurturing that only nature can envelop you in . Nature shows us the way home ....
