The cabins

Pick a steep-roofed chalet or a cabin on stilts in the canopy; either way you get exposed timber, a deck into the trees and a good chance of lyrebirds in the morning. The spring-fed pool in the bush is the summer bonus.

Around Barrington Tops

Chichester Dam is ten minutes up the road, the World-Heritage rainforest walks of Barrington Tops National Park about 40, and the drive itself — part of the Thunderbolts Way country — is half the reason to come.
