Overview
Our 6 architecturally designed cottages are nestled privately amongst the trees. Glass doors open to a wrap around veranda with bush and valley views, the perfect place for an evening BBQ or just laze in the hammock and listen to the birds as the sun sets through the trees.

The main living area offers a full kitchen, log fire, lounge and dining area surrounded by glass allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the Australian bush.

The huge spa bath can wash away city stress and the master bedroom will keep you cosy while you watch the dawn rise.

Less than 3 hours drive from Sydney, the Myall Lakes region feels like a magical escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thousands of hectares of unspoilt National Park and State Forest provide the perfect environment for some of Australia's most diverse and abundant wildlife to flourish - visitors to the area may see everything from sea eagles, pelicans and egrets to wallabies, kangaroos, bandicoots, goannas and even the occasional koala. The area also hosts one of Australia's largest and most interesting coastal lake systems as well as protected waterways, wetlands and more than 40 kilometres of spectacular unbroken beaches.

Myall Lakes National Park, of 44,000 hectares, which borders the Bombah Point Eco Cottages property on three sides, includes the largest and oldest sand dune system in New South Wales. The hind dunes were formed more than 100,000 years ago after an earlier Ice Age and now huge trees grow in their mineral-rich sand. This sand was extensively mined up until the 1970's when public protest stopped it and Myall Lakes National Park was created. There are numerous Aboriginal sites hidden in the dunes and visitors can find themselves wandering through expansive areas of stone tools, bones and shell deposits that were hidden for thousands of years and only recently revealed by shifting sands. These sites are heralded as some of the most significant and extensive sites in coastal NSW and are protected.

A short drive north is Seal Rocks, an old fishing village, where whales and dolphins can be found frolicking in the surf and visitors marvel at the spectacularly beautiful lighthouse - built in 1875 and officially known as Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse - which overlooks an unspoilt beach and the group of offshore rocky outcrops which give the area its name.

Port Stephens, the picturesque bay that provides water views for Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest and Nelson Bay, is also quite well known for its marine visitors, particularly the seasonal whales. It also has the largest permanent population of dolphins on the east coast, more than 200, offering visitors a 99% chance of seeing them on a Dolphin Watch ferry trip.

The region also includes Booti Booti National Park, Wallingat National Park, and Tomaree National Park as well as several State Forests suitable for 4WD touring.
