The space
If you are after an unusual and unique hideaway, Jerrapark may be the place for you. Our train carriages are comprised of 4 cabins, each with 2 “couchettes” (small single beds), which can be converted into one double bed.
The Train Carriages can therefore accommodate up to 8 persons (or 4 couples).
It is an ideal place for group gatherings, retreats or workshops.

A large covered deck spans the carriages, with a modern, fully equipped open kitchen and tables next to the fireplace. The area has 2 showers and 2 toilets with all you need for your stay.

The large, private deck features a daybed with coffee table for those who like to chill out around a cuppa, and a sofa bed in front of the fire place for your evening glass of wine.

The deck can also host your workshop or retreat, with prior arrangement with the hosts.

Down the stairs through the gardens is our luxurious spa pavilion. Containing a deep hot tub wood fired sauna, large outdoor spa and magnesium swimming pool. A modern kitchenette and casual dining area is the perfect setting for your grazing platter of choice paired with a bubbly number. With a toilet, hot indoor and outdoor shower, Jerrapark invites you to relax and luxuriate!

An open fire pit amongst the lush gardens provides you with a calm place to enjoy a glass of wine and stargaze in the evening with your family and friends.

Jerrapark is nestled in the heart of the beautiful Northern Rivers Caldera, surrounded by the lush nature of the Border Ranges and Mt Warning National Parks.

It is an ideal base camp for those who want to discover the Rainbow Region, trek in the National Park or check out our famous, local Rainbow town of Nimbin.

Neighbourhood highlights

Jerrapark is nestled only 6km away from the Border Ranges National Park, with a very easy one road access to the Park, and just far enough away from towns and cities to feel remote and wild.
Some guests have remarked half jokingly that as they enter the property it feels a bit like Jurassic Park.
A section of the farm has been preserved as rainforest, where a huge variety of trees, including Palms and Eucalypts stand over boulder strewn creeks that sometimes flood with roaring force, and over their own waterfalls.
The wildlife is abundant, and you might be lucky to spot one of our elusive koalas family...
