Cedarmist

Our cedar cottage is surrounded by rainforest in a quiet rural setting, five minutes from the village of Robertson. The home is somewhat like the Tardis, bigger than it first appears. The entrance is a courtyard, lovely for a coffee in the sunshine looking into the shady rainforest.

Downstairs the living, formal dining and kitchen areas all have views into the rainforest. Great for bird watching. The living area has cathedral ceilings and a wood fire. The modern galley style kitchen opens to the laundry and carport access.

The second bedroom has a high quality double sofa bed, its own bathroom and and toilet and looks into the courtyard. There is a separate loft bedroom with double sofa bed. The large groundfloor screened verandas look into the rain forest with glimpses of the distant valley views. There are ample barbecue facilities.

Our upstairs main bedroom has panoramic views over valleys and grazing lands and its en suite looks over a section of rain forest. The upstairs veranda is ideal for sunsets or stargazing.

It is a child and seniors friendly home.
