Here’s what nobody tells you about the best getaways:
They’re not the ones with the fanciest amenities. They’re the ones you don’t want to leave.
At Mountain View Farm beneath Gulaga, guests pull into the driveway and visibly sigh. Gulaga looming above has that effect on people.
At The Bower at Broulee, you can watch wallabies graze from your spa bath. No traffic sounds, just the bush.
And then there’s The Mossy Cafe in Mossy Point, where the “nanna’s lounge” feels so much like someone’s living room that first-timers worry they’re intruding.
