Modern-meets-wilderness cabins.
Four secluded stays. 250 acres of forest. Space to slow down and stay awhile.
Leave the rush behind.
Step into the still.
Carawirry Forest Escape is a collection of four secluded stays on 250 private acres of forest in the foothills of the Barrington Tops, New South Wales.
Mornings begin with birdsong and sunlight through the gums. Days drift from creek swims to waterfall dips, hammock hours to shared meals. Nights arrive under wide skies, with a wood fire and nowhere else you need to be.
As featured in
Four forest stays.
One slower pace.
Each Carawirry stay has its own rhythm. Find the one that suits the way you want to slow down, reconnect and spend time together.
Private by design. Every cabin is set apart from the others, so there are no neighbouring cabins looking in — just your own quiet pocket of forest.

Time together comes easily out here.
Trade the city lights for a sky scattered with stars. Wander forest trails, swim in cool creeks, take a dip beneath the Carawirry waterfall, then gather around the fire as evening settles in.
No rush. No noise. Just time well spent.
Loved for the quiet moments in between.
Take it from the people who have already slowed down, settled in and stayed awhile.
This place is amazing. It gives me exactly what I need every time I come here. Thank you for sharing it.
We came here for our 10-year wedding anniversary! It was exactly what we needed — a quiet, peaceful escape from the real world.
Such a beautiful, relaxing stay. Enjoyed the serenity, and the adults’ hot tub was very welcome and used often. Perfect place for our 29th wedding anniversary.
It was so perfect, thank you! Relaxing, quiet + pure bliss. We will be back for sure.
I’m someone whose brain never switches off and is always thinking. That was until I turned up here. I found myself just enjoying the peacefulness, nature’s pure air, and just not having a thought in my mind.
We stayed in the Treehouse and it was absolutely perfect. Very private and quiet without having to go full bush.
