Learn how you can support local eco-suppliers during your stay.
We think some of the best stories happen around the campfire. In-house jokes and curious realisations. Like “have you ever thought about what the birds have named you?” Us either.
Reconnect with your people
Families chat. Friends bond. Mates become… dates(?) You choose. (Afterall there’s nothing like a little stargazing to spark romance just saying.)
Boil the billy and forage for the ultimate marshmallow stick. Fire’s stoked and waiting for you.

We stayed at Tathra house and with a group of 11 family also utilised The Humpy. We can't say enough how much we love this special place. We have made ao many beautiful memories here. If you want to connect with family and nature, this is the place to go. So comfortable, a welcoming fire on arrival and instantly in relaxation mode. We even used the plunge pool in the middle of winter! Thanks again Heather and John.valerie brodin ★★★★★ Absolutely loved the place as did my NDIS client who grew up there.

Best, Heather - Carawirry Forest Escape Olivia Richards ★★★★★ We had the most beautiful 3 nights at Carawirry staying in the Tathra House. The accommodation is absolutely stunning, it’s even more amazing than we imagined. We felt very comfortable there. The fire warmed the house beautifully keeping us all cozy. But also was happily surprised to find ducted heating to keep the rooms nice and warm for the kids. The little ones loved exploring and feeding the very friendly Wallaby we had hanging around! Will definitely be back 🤍Heather Taylor ★★★★★ Such a special place to relax and switch off, feeling world's away from the hustle and bustle.The perfect way to celebrate a milestone birthday.Heather T ★★★★★ Such a tranquil spot to escape the everyday and make some beautiful memories.Kacee Baskerville ★★★★★ Loved our stay here ! Great location within the beautiful surroundings. Even hand fed a kangaroo.Daniel Petersen ★★★★★ We recently got engaged at The Cottage and it was a wonderful place to enjoy our bubble. The cabin was cozy yet spacious, the outdoor tub was perfect for unwinding and the area was beautiful to hike around.We had the big breakfast hamper which had amazing local produce and in house masseuse as an additional add ons to our stay which made our experience even better. Heather and John do a great job of thinking of everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to enjoy such a special occasion.

Such an awesome location amongst the trees and wildlife!Response from the ownerThanks so much Simon. So glad you enjoyed your stay at Carawirry. - Heather, Carawirry Forest Escape Ryan McDermott ★★★★★ We stayed in the treehouse cabin and it was awesome! Surrounded by nature with beautiful hiking trails just a minute or two out the door. The cabin itself was very clean and had very nice appliancesRobert Kelly ★★★★★ Perfection! We couldn’t speak highly enough about this place. The surroundings were idillic, the cottage had so much space and character - we truly had the best stay. Couldn’t fault a single thing. We’ll definitely be back and would encourage anyone and everyone to book a stay at Carawirry Forest Escape ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Christine Noltenius ★★★★★ When booking this accomodation we were looking for somewhere with a camping feel but with a lot of luxury and that’s what we got. The cabins are set in a beautiful bush setting far enough away from the other cabins to allow you to enjoy the peace and quiet with privacy. The extra little details allows for flexible use of the space whether for a romantic getaway or time with family and friends. We stayed at the Treehouse cabin and the bathhouse allowed us to spend lazy afternoons taking in the bush view. We ordered the Breakfast hamper, brekkie box and grazing box which allowed us to enjoy delicious locally sourced food. We also used the provided camp oven to cook our own food in the fire pit. At the end of our stay we felt fully rejuvenated and will be back again as a couple and will also be staying here with family.Sean M ★★★★★ Look, life's a rollercoaster, right? But when we checked in, it was like hitting the pause button on all the noise. This place is the real deal for families. I mean, we all got along, had deep chats, and just genuinely enjoyed each other's company. You can't put a price on it.And don't even get me started on the critters! Feeding wallaroos and possums was like an episode of Great Aussie Adventures.Now, about the "waterfall"—or should I say, the lack of one. We walked all the way there and found it had dried up. But you know what? We laughed so hard, it became a highlight of our trip. Sometimes it's the unexpected twists which make the best stories.Laughter? It's like the place has its own laughter track, only it's real and it's coming from you, the children, the family.And if you're game, take a 5 am dip in the pool. Trust me, it's like a wake-up call for your soul.This was our opportunity to unwind, and we, the adults, and kids ranging from 3 through 11, did.None of this would have been possible without the care which has been put into this property, and all the care can be sensed in everything around. From the guide book on the table, through the way everything has been set outHere's the gist of it: Carawirry isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience. We didn't know what we were missing until we got there, but now we're hooked. We're already planning round two (three for some)rex woo ★★★★★ This was our 3rd stay and still cant get enough of this place. Can't wait to be back soon.Response from the ownerSuch a pleasure to have you and your family enjoy Carawirry Rex. Look forward to having you back again.

Thankyou!Mitchell Blackmore ★★★★★ Linda Roohan ★★★★★ Peter Loxton ★★★★★ We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything we could have needed was supplied. The building and setting are superb.Allison Cowley ★★★★★ Such an amazing place! The only complaint we have is that our stay wasn’t long enough. The perfect place to reboot. 💗 🌳Adrienne Shiels ★★★★★ PoPpY ★★★★★ Fantastic, don’t worry about looking elsewhere, just stay there.Janistar Eowwongcharoen ★★★★★ The Yoga Place Blacksmiths ★★★★★ We love Carawirry, such a beautiful place to retreat to. The owners go above and beyond to make your stay special, we are already planning our next visit 🙂Maria Aguilar ★★★★★ Absolutely amazing place to stay. The views and baths were spectacular. The only thing that I would recommend, is sending out the text message with the wifi password and lockbox code for the cabins keys 24 hours prior as we had to drive 15 mins back down the main road just to pick up some signal and call the manager for our passwords. Other than that, it was such a relaxing holiday and we will definitely be back!!!Shanna Logan ★★★★★ Fantastic stay. Couldn’t fault it. Wonderful get away, beautiful view with luxe inclusions.Belinda Holland ★★★★★ We have been coming to Carawirry for over 6 years now and we adore it .So quite and beautiful surrounded by a rainforest only hearing birds and the rustle of leaves the old kangaroo is just heavenly . We love the beds they’re so comfy and the quality sheets and towels really make it so relaxing and luxurious. Add in the slow combustion fire and the gorgeous bathroom to the mix aS well as the well equipped kitchen and it’s just the perfect place to hide away and relax and unwind. So well organized and well run by the lovely Heather & John . There’s no other place in NSW like it ! ❤️garry holmes ★★★★★ While the photos and information before we arrived was great, we actually found everything even better than we had hoped.
