Tasteful, peaceful, comfortable, spacious, quiet…a perfectly relaxing way to end a month of travelling. Meg & Tara are wonderfully accommodating hosts & they prepare a mean continental breakfast! ❤️

“A superb retreat, and great relaxing stay. Wonderful accommodation, great attention to detail.”
It would be far easier just to say that there wasn't anything not to like. Thank you Meg and Tara. We have recommended to everyone that we have seen since we left you, that they should book to stay. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again if we are up your way.

“Relax in the beautiful surrounds of Kirawwak”
The property was stunning. Beautiful gardens and the cottage was spacious comfortable and well equipped. It was close by to great beaches and national parks but you may just want to stay at Kiwarrak and relax. The hosts provided a great breakfast for the first morning and even brought our washing in when it started to rain. Very kind!!

“Stunning gardens and beautiful rooms, great breakfast. A true retreat.”
One of the best BnB we have ever stayed in. The level of detail is just beyond speech. The wood fireplace was loaded with kindle and paper ready to go. Looking out every window you will have a lovely view of the garden. A bower bird bower right outside the bedroom sliding door! Rubbish handling truly shows how much the host cares about the environment We took a stroke in the garden and just couldn't help but smile at all the little things, a tin man climbing the tree, an egg chair nested in a tree surrounded yard, fairy gardens, etc, etc... Not to mention the breakfast provided - loved the sourdough, homemade muesli, and jam... Overall it's truly a retreat a family can just stay without needing to go anywhere else for a weekend.

The breakfast hamper was a lovely bonus and the grounds were amazing also getting to see the bower bird in its nest was a highlight

Loved the location. In nature. Very spacious and comfortable stay. Close to the beach and close to Taree. Very peaceful with a fireplace and a bath. They also have a beautiful Bower Bird in the garden.

“11 out of 10”
my family and I had a wonderful long weekend stay in the arbour house it was spacious and inviting with so many little welcoming touches like fresh bread and eggs which were to die for ! There was even fresh juice and butter.... too many lovely little things too list.... it was absolutely magical walking around the beautiful grounds and finding the little treasures and seating areas , the children loved the bike trails and cricket set that was so thoughtfully left for them . thank you so much we felt so at home and we can't wait to return .
