Since the 1930's the world heritage listed Barrington Tops national park has been a favorite destination for those looking to relax and get back to nature in magnificent surroundings.

To complement the beauty of this area and to offer the opportunity the stay in comfort within the National Park, Barrington Wilderness Cottages were established in 1996. These fully self contained cottages sleep up to 5 comfortably with a queen bedroom downstairs and a trio bunk in the loft bedroom. A gas log fire ensures your comfort throughout the cooler months and gas appliances in the kitchenette enable fast efficient cooking. A spa bath, TV with DVD player and undercover parking complement these 4 star inclusions.

The Cottages are adjacent to the historic Barrington Guest House (circa 1930) a traditional holiday destination for generations of families from all over Australia.

Situated at Salisbury ( via Dungog ) in the Upper Williams River area of the Barrington Tops, this untouched piece of Australia abounds in native bird, plant and animal life as well as five different types of forest within walking distance of your cottage.

From your cottage, the many bushwalks take you through pristine sub tropical rainforest, across creeks and gullys as well as crossing the Williams River. The walks can go from half an hour to all day depending on your requirements and fitness. To cool off,take a dip in one of the many swimming holes along the way or just sit on a rock and be swept away by the natural beauty of the rainforest.
