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 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. 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 !

What a beautiful hidden, private gem! We stayed here for our 15th wedding anniversary and it didn’t disappoint! Actually our best getaway yet! Super clean, super private and super quiet - we’ll be back again soon!

Beautiful nature escape
This tiny home was a beautiful way to spend a weekend, surrounded by nature, close to the beach and cafes, and the outdoor bath was a perfect getaway, and even better we could take our furbabies!

Hidden Magic!
Amazing spot for a weekend getaway. Although it was raining all weekend the design of the cabin allowed us to enjoy the spot and unwind! A cheese platter and wine on the deck, and a soak in the outdoor bath. Do yourself a favour! Book this for your next weedend getaway!

We absolutely loved our time at the Shephards Hut; the tiny home was so brilliantly built with all the comforts and utilities we required on top of the little luxuries like the outdoor tub and fire pit! We really treasured how much it opened up and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the beautiful surroundings while still feeling very private. Craig stopped by to stay hello and gave us tips on what sights we could see in the area—the rail trail train tunnel was fantastic! Really appreciate the effort and care that went into this site :)

Awesome hidden gem would highly recommend, hidden away with nature but not too far from civilisation. The outdoor bathtub and fire place is amazing when it’s dark, perfect place to relax / unwind.
