Check out the rail trail! then ....... Rest and absorb the tranquil sound of the creeks running water from the comfort of the Shepherds Hut. Rest and revitalise in warmth of the outdoor bath tub, on the deck, on the day bed with its window overlooking the creek, or in front of the fire each evening. You can choose, closed and cosy or open and airy, either is easy in the Shepherds Hut. Indulge in the steaming warmth of either the outdoor or indoor showers. The Hut is fully contained with everything you need for a fabulous stay. Crockery, cutlery, toaster, electric jug, electric frypan, mini air fry oven. (no microwave) Enjoy warming your toes around the outdoor fire pit as you gaze at the stars above. A perfect base to explore the new Northern Rivers Rail Trail which is just a couple of kms up our quiet country road. Stroll around country roads next to creeks, or for the more active ask the host about full day hikes to little known but spectacular Mt Chowan and Unicorn falls. Or if you prefer the option to stay on the property, enjoy bushwalking, hiking and bird watching, or just relax and unwind. We are located a short 20 minute drive from the remote Wooyung beach, or 35 min from Byron. Just 7 kms from the village of Burringbar which has a grocery and liquor store, Thai food and woodfired pizza.Walk or Ride the Rail Trail ......or not !

Shepherds Hut - Rail Trail Acomm.
Overall was okay however not what we expected/worth the cost. Majority of outdoor fairy lights (3/4) not working so difficult to set-up outside and manage a fire. Outdoor bath had dead cane toads (had obviously been there for more than a day) and full of leaves, the place was reported cleaned 2 days prior however when paying the premium you'd expect this to be checked prior to check-in Paid for a firewood bundle however wood was damp, no kindling provided and due to wet weather was difficult to find kindling & start a fire - in other hipcamps/airbnbs firewood has been free with kindling and firestarters provided so was disappointing that despite paying for it, it wasn't provided. Otherwise nice touches like bath salts provided and in beautiful area, my husband and I had come for our joint birthdays so we were pretty disappointed

Tranquil Bliss
I recently stayed at this property and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot to relax and recharge. It’s so tranquil and peaceful, making it the ideal escape from the daily grind. One of the best parts is how close it is to the Rail Trail, which is perfect for anyone who loves walking or cycling. Being able to step out and explore nature so easily was such a bonus. Whether you’re looking to unwind or enjoy some outdoor adventures, this place is truly a hidden gem.

The Shepherds Hut is a slice of paradise and the perfect weekend getaway, we didn't want to leave! We enjoyed the outdoor bath, sitting by the fire and the incredible view you wake up to when sleeping in the loft!
