Rose Gum Cottage
From the moment you enter your private rainforest getaway you will feel yourself relax. Awake to the sound of whip birds, relax on the veranda, visit a local cafe or take a leisurely walk in the National Park. In winter, as mists waft through the rainforest, warm yourself by the fireplace, with a glass of wine, a good book, and of course our complimentary port and chocolates.
