The Lilypond - a beautiful escape with log fire & spa bath surrounded by nature.

Nestled in the serene foothills of the Barrington Tops, our cabins offer a simpler life and a tranquil retreat. Inside, you’ll find all the essentials for a comfortable stay.

Unwind in cosy four-poster beds that provide a restful haven, ensuring you recharge and rejuvenate. Stay warm during cooler evenings with a cosy log fire, and enjoy the convenience of air conditioning on warmer days.

Sink into relaxation with a double spa bath, while handcrafted stained glass windows adorn the cabin. The deck overlooks lush bushland, offering a serene setting to immerse yourself in nature. Equipped with hammocks, it’s the perfect spot to soak up the sights and sounds of the environment.

Encounter abundant wildlife, from hopping pademelons to playful kookaburras. Look out for king parrots, yellow-tailed cockatoos, wallabies, pademelons, echidnas, goannas, bowerbirds, and the occasional koala sighting. Be prepared for cheeky and entertaining encounters with the residents.

The cabin also has a fully equipped kitchen and a BBQ, allowing for self-contained convenience.

Soooo relaxing
Had a great time, perfect place to just switch off and relax in nature. Was a cold windy weekend but when you are cozy in front of the fire or looking up through the window above the bed it was just amazing.

Very relaxing
Beautiful setting surrounded by bush. Wallabies abound. Balcony to soak up the ambiance. Everything we could want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big smoke. I can't thank my beautiful partner enough for organising such a first class weekend surprise for my birthday. Thank you my Darling.

Very Disappointing
We decided not to stay our two night stay after one night in the Lilypond Cabin. I’m not sure what the refund policy is, but the cabin and property are not a reflection of the advertised website. We had been on a beautiful travelling holiday for two week staying in amazing accommodation and were very disappointed to end our holiday at Bluegums Lilypond Cabin. When we arrived late afternoon the cabin was so hot that the set temperature air conditioner could not cool the cabin. Everything seemed to need a wipe over before we could use it and the bed was so uncomfortable and noisy to sleep in that we woke each other every time we moved. We did try to walk around the property and to the pool as mentioned online but everything is over grown so this wasn’t possible. The cabin had lots of spiders, a dragon fly and blow fly that spent the night with use also. We only used two plates and two glasses after rinsing them for use and placed them in the dishwasher which the door doesn’t close on so couldn’t be used. I would have hand washed but no tea towel was left. I thought I would give the owners the courtesy of letting them know we were leaving by calling them to discuss but we had no service with either Optus or Telstra at the cabin so I sent a message when we had service away from the property. I received no reply.

Perfect location for a relaxing weekend
The Lily Pond cabin was simply stunning. It had everything you could need but the peace and quiet to just truly relax. Sitting near the pool watching the wildlife was a bonus. We had an amazing weekend and will definitely return.

Lovely two nights away
Cosy cottage, especially in the evenings with the log fire going. Nice location in amongst the trees and we enjoyed the tranquility and privacy and experienced the local wildlife including a very friendly possum. Well equipped kitchen and the webber outside allowed us to snuggle in and cook both nights. Day time exploring was also fun including the loop walk at Williams River. We highly recommend this place for a romantic getaway in an area which has plenty of lovely scenery to explore!
