Straight to the point

The Jackson Ranch at Bawley Point beckons savvy travellers looking to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature in all its glory. The property comes courtesy of boutique hotel brand Bannisters, and took inspiration from the rustic-luxe dude ranches of Montana. The Jackson Ranch’s five cabins have been designed with fireplaces and fauxantler chandeliers, but the real emphasis is on the setting – you’re surrounded by forest and overlook Lake Willinga. Each space also has a kitchen, so you can DIY meals or call on a private chef. But take note: you’re just a 30-minute drive from Mollymook, where Rick Stein’s awarded seafood restaurant beckons in Bannisters’ sister hotel. thejacksonranch.com.au
