The Space

The retreat offers an outdoor spa nestled under a gazebo overlooking the valley.  A queen bed lays in a large open bedroom, with bathroom to one side and laundry conveniently hidden along the back wall.  A handcrafted coffee table and couch sit at the end of the room, beside French doors which lead out to the gazebo hosting hammock, spa, table and seating.  Large windows frame the view through to the private tropical garden.

 

The main living area features full open plan kitchen overlooking the rear garden, hosting butlers sink, island cook-top and a full range quality amenities.  Vintage dining table and large couch span across a feature wall of repurposed fallen rainforest timbers with wide screen television for movie watching on lazy days.

 

Air-conditioned throughout, large windows surround the space allowing the cooling breeze to flow.  With views from every angle a printers desk completes the bespoke furnishings tucked neatly beside the entrance to the front garden.

 

Outside you will find sun loungers overlooking the banana plantation where you can lay watching the native bird life whilst enjoying the serenity.  A stroll down to the creek passes an organic vegetable garden.  Guests are encouraged to pick a few seasonal offerings to enjoy with their meals.

 

To the rear of the cottage you will find an expansive lawn from which to enjoy the magic and brilliance of the night sky.

 

The private rainforest walk invigorates the spirit with giant fig trees adorning old growth forest abundant in native flora an fauna.  Our friendly chickens provide fresh organic eggs for guests and freely range the property.  From time to time you may hear them rustling in the gardens.

Guest access

Exclusive access to the property is found via the private driveway which leads up to the cottage with plenty of space for parking.  The entrance is via the front garden which overlooks the banana plantation and hosts the gazebo to one side.

The embodiment of a tranquil paradise.  We stayed for a week in this amazing place!  Well worth it.  It’s a great place to get back to nature, relax in the spa and comfy bed.  Kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed cooking & having breakfast outside in the sunshine.  We will be telling anyone & everyone about this cottage.

 We had the most wonderful time in Palm Grove.  Megan’s property is so clean and beautifully built.  It’s lovely and secluded, no noise but the surrounding birds.  Meg gave great tips on the area too.  Cedar creek falls is a short trip away and it’s absolutely stunning.  I couldn’t recommend this place more!

What a super slice of heaven.  We didn't want to leave.  The sense of peace and quiet that lets you disengage from everyday life and find your focus in doing absolutely nothing or having busy days.  We rode to Cedar Creek Falls and also walked daily. Dipped in the creek by the property and lay out under the stars of an evening.  We didn't use our phones at all, and letting go of the fast pace of the everyday hustle is a godsend.  We will be back.  We were thinking a nice winter visit.....
