CABINS ARE TOP OPTIONS
AIRBNB HAS SO MANY HOLIDAY CHOICES, BUT THESE THREE ARE SOME OF THE BEST
HEARTWOOD CABIN
Springbrook
Nestled on the edge of a gorge, this architecturally designed dream frames a vast valley vista. Making the most of leafy views, 3m high glass doors stretch along two sides of the light-flooded cabin.
There’s a fireplace for cosy nights in, a fully equipped kitchen to make the most of local produce and an outdoor firepit.
Relax in the deep bath after hiking through World Heritage listed Gondwana Rainforest.
NIGHTCAP EXCHANGE
Doon Doon, Northern NSW
Billed as an “unfinished 1890s logger cabin zombie flip reno in wild bush”, this unique Northern NSW bolthole guarantees total privacy … unless you count the 19 free-range farm animals that may occasionally drop in to the open bathroom for a visit.
Facing a Jurassic volcanic plug, the original two-bedroom building is in the middle of a natural amphitheatre surrounded by ancient rainforest.
If you don’t mind the drop composting toilet (with a velvet stage curtain for privacy) you could be contemplating the best view from a loo you’ve ever seen.
Guests have access to the entire acreage, which has walking trails, creeks and swimming holes.
THE BOWER COUPLE’S CABIN Maleny, Sunshine Coast
Tailor-made for two, the couples cabin is one of the cosy cabins at rustic rainforest retreat, The Bower. The scene is set for romance with a wood-burning fireplace and antique clawfoot bath.
Take a dip in the shared bush pool or watch birdlife from a private deck.
When you’re ready to re-enter the real world, the enchanting town of Maleny is just 10 minutes’ drive away.
