Cottage, Holiday house

On bumble creek, a boutique property located on the picturesque NSW Central Coast, is the perfect a place to reconnect and recharge your batteries. A great place to escape, enjoy good food, company and nature.

With only one house on the property, the 100 acres of seclusion is all yours. Totally private, yet 5 minutes from the F3, this is a convenient base from which to explore the Central Coast...if your tempted to venture out.

Designed to minimise its eco footprint, this solar passive house, based on a hexagonal design is made of Hawkesbury sandstone collected from the property. Solar panels on the roof generate the power supply and rain water is collected in tanks for reuse within the house. The house is designed to be cool in summer and warm in winter - a perfect destination all year round.

What to do? Your choice. Chill out, relax on a day bed with a book from the extensive library, or explore the rainforest by walking up the shady Bumbles Creek. Feeling adventurous? Why not take after Bumbles, an adventurous aboriginal who lived and explored this area.

Lose yourself star gazing on the front lawn at night with a glass of wine. And during November you may be lucky enough to be treated to a 'Tinkerbel' style visit from nomadic fire flies.

The north facing lawn area overlooking Sydney Blue Gums and the valley rainforest is the perfect place for a morning sun salute to the sound of Bell Birds (yoga mats and hand weights provided). Ditto re sun drenched long languid lunches. Or, explore rural Ourimbah Creek Road and meet the neighbourhood animals.

Don't forget to bring your walking shoes to explore the property and meet the rain forest wildlife. However a selection of gumboots (to rival the seven dwarves) are available for you to explore the creek and bush bash through the lush vegetation.

Perfect for a week or weekend escape to the country.

Languages spoken: Australian(Conversation)

"An absolute wilderness paradise! If you want an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, this property is perfect. Surrounded by native bush and alive with the sounds of nature it has all the joy of the outdoors, but the luxury of a hotel. All the little things have been thought off right down to marshmallows ready for toasting on the open fire, spacious, yet cosy it's our second visit and already is begining to feel like a second home, the perfect place to rest, rejunviate and unwind!" MEL, OCT11

Relax and unwind

Relax in this contemporary 3 bedroom architect- designed house.

Accommodation comprises 3 bedrooms. In the open plan main house there are two private queen bedrooms complete with fluffy doonas, oil heating, electric blankets and fans. Both with en-suites bathrooms with showers. Across the undercover carport area, is the attached studio bedroom. The studio has a queen bed and a king single bed and toasty underfloor heating. The versatile layout works equally well for a couple or families.

The living space features a soaring cathedral ceiling, inviting Jetmaster open fire, french refectory table to enjoy meals and good company around, day bed, lounge and bean bags to kick back and relax in.

Like to cook? Then be your own MasterChef. The chef's kitchen features European appliances including cooktop, oven, microwave, coffee machine, wok and bread maker. We've also stocked the pantry for you, with a gourmet range of condiments, herbs and spices, bread making ingredients, and all the things you tend to forget to bring and realise you need when you get 'creative' in the kitchen. Perfect for a relaxed but decadent dinner party.

There is no TV reception this deep in the valley and we've made a conscious decision not to have satelite TV or a DVD/Blue Ray player. You can really relax and enjoy time with family or friends over a slow-cooked meal and wine, grab a book from the library or enjoy that board game you haven't played in years. It's the perfect place to go off the grid. But we haven't forgotten about music...don't forget to bring your iPod (and charger) to connect to the Bose stereo.

A full laundry with front-loading washing machine, dryer, twin tubs and separate toilet is located in the main house. There is easy access to the laundry toilet from the studio bedroom via the undercover carport breezeway.

Rainforest wildlife?

Rainforest wildlife and venturing out...should you feel like it.

The Forest of Tranquility is 2 minutes down the road and the Australian Reptile Park and Treetops Adventure Park are both only only a 20 minute drive. Why not call in at the Bamboo Buddha Cafe, Gallery and Gardens, the quirky Firecreek Fruit Wine Vineyard, only 15 minutes away at Holgate. We recommend visiting these attractions via the scenic Ridgeway drive on the way to or from Terrigal or Avoca for a surf. Or head over to beautiful Bateau Bay or The Entrance for fresh local seafood after a bush walk or mountain bike in one the stunning national parks or state forests.

Executive and longer term rental enquires welcome. On bumble creek is available for adults 25 years and over, and their friends and family.
