  • The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials (note: no dishwasher), perfect for slow breakfasts or home-cooked dinners. Enjoy your meals alfresco under the willow tree or in the converted shed — now a character-filled dining nook.

    Later, wander down to the creekside firepit, built into the hillside, for marshmallows and stargazing. You might even catch the call of frogs or a soft breeze whispering through the fig trees.

  • Outside, you'll find a variety of entertainment spaces including an outdoor fireplace, a picnic area by the dam, and a charming firepit nestled along the creek—ideal for cozy nights beneath the stars.

    Enjoy dining outdoors under the willow tree, or relax in the stylishly converted shed for an unforgettable alfresco meal.

    • Alfresco Dining: Enjoy morning coffee by the dam-side picnic table or curl up with a book in the converted shed-turned-dining space.

    • Firepits: Toast at the outdoor fireplace with a bottle of local wine or listen to the sounds of nature beside the creekside firepit (two available for use at The Barn)

    • Bath: Soak under the sky in the outdoor bath.

  • “Everything about our stay was magical, peaceful, private and so beautifully curated. We felt instantly at home.”

    “We didn’t realise how much we needed this. The Barn gave us the space to slow down and reconnect, no phones, no rush, just quiet mornings, fireside chats, and time for us.”
