Escape to your own private sanctuary in the Byron Bay Hinterland. This romantic retreat for two boasts a sparkling private pool, expansive deck, and lush greenery in every direction. Drift off to the soothing sounds of Snows Creek and wake to a chorus of bird calls. Enjoy lazy afternoons by the water, star-filled nights on the deck, and — if you’re lucky — a koala sighting among the gum trees. Perfect for couples seeking peace, privacy, and nature at its finest, all year round in comfort.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THE POOL HOUSE:
• YOUR OWN PRIVATE OASIS: Spend your days lazing by the sparkling, completely private pool, surrounded by nothing but the sounds of nature.
• A TRUE CHEF'S KITCHEN: Our guests consistently reckon it's the "best-equipped kitchen" they've ever seen in a holiday rental, with high-quality appliances perfect for whipping up a cracking meal.
• UNMATCHED COMFORT: Every detail is chosen for ultimate relaxation, from our professional cleaning standards and premium Sheridan towels to an "incredibly comfortable" bed with a pillow menu for the perfect night's sleep.
• A PET-FRIENDLY PARADISE: We warmly welcome your furry friends, who will love the open spaces to explore.
We've thoughtfully designed every detail of the Pool House to create a seamless and luxurious retreat. Your cozy haven is kept spick and span with professional cleaning before every stay, ensuring it's ready for you.
The open-plan living space is your cozy haven, featuring a huge, cloud-like lounge perfect for sinking into after a day of exploring. You can enjoy a movie night on the 65" 4K Ultra HDTV + 4K Apple TV with fast, reliable Wi-Fi for all your streaming needs.
Prepare to be amazed by the kitchen. Guests frequently say it's the "best-equipped kitchen" they've ever found, complete with quality appliances and every utensil and pantry staple you could need to create a delicious meal.
When it's time to rest, prepare for an exceptional night's sleep. The "incredibly comfortable" king-sized bed is complemented by a full pillow menu designed to cater to every preference. You'll find a range of options, from cool, firm latex pillows to soft, plush hotel-style choices on the bed and high and low-profile pillows in the wardrobe.
Every bed is made with fresh, high-quality linens, and our bathrooms are stocked with Sheridan towels, promising a truly personalised and restorative stay.
You will have exclusive and uninterrupted access to the entire Pool House, the expansive deck, and of course, the stunning private pool. This is your private sanctuary to enjoy.
Our property is home to two separate retreats. To ensure absolute privacy for everyone, we kindly ask that you enjoy the Pool House and its immediate gardens and refrain from approaching the other dwelling (the Creek House). We ensure its guests do exactly the same, giving you complete peace and seclusion.
For those wishing to explore the beautiful Snows Creek, we have opened up a pathway that you can access directly opposite the caravan.
Parking is also provided for your convenience directly outside the house.
Your privacy is our highest priority. We designed the Pool House to be your own completely private world, and we do not live in the house. You will have an uninterrupted escape from the moment you arrive.
Check-in is seamless via our simple self-check-in process. While you'll be left to enjoy your solitude, please know that you are fully supported. As our guests consistently mention in their reviews, I am always just a quick message away and am known for my fast, clear, and helpful communication. My goal is to provide a five-star experience with the perfect balance of privacy and support.
Upper Coopers Creek is situated just over half an hours drive from Mullumbimby, located close to the beautiful Minyon Falls waterfall and walking track.
You will most probably want to arrive by car, although we have had some people arrive by bicycle. We do have about 2km of unsealed road prior to our house, but these are in pretty good condition. Just take your time, especially around the corners.
A WARM WELCOME FOR PETS
We genuinely love hosting your furry friends! To ensure the retreat remains pristine for all guests, we just ask you to follow a few house rules. FURNITURE: Please keep pets off beds and sofas. If you know your pet loves to cuddle, you must bring your own blankets to cover our furniture completely. CANE TOADS: As with any rural property in this area, cane toads may be present. Their poison is highly toxic to dogs. Please ensure your pet is supervised at all times and does not interact with any toads. RAT BAIT: We use pet-proof bait stations to manage rodents, which are a natural part of the ecosystem. While securely placed, it is still possible for a dog to find a poisoned rodent. We kindly ask that you keep an eye on your pet and contact a vet immediately if they show any signs of illness.CLEANLINESS: Please clean up after your pet, both inside and out. To avoid extra cleaning fees, please ensure pets are clean and dry before coming inside.

THE JOURNEY TO YOUR RETREAT
Our beautiful, secluded location is part of the magic. The final stretch of the journey is on a classic unsealed hinterland road. It's well-maintained and suitable for any standard 2WD or 4WD vehicle, but we advise taking it slow to enjoy the scenery and navigate any bumps. Be aware that our local wildlife (wallabies and birds) are not car-savvy and can be unpredictable, so please drive with care, especially at dawn and dusk.
CONNECTIVITY IN THE HINTERLAND
To help you fully unwind, please note there is not much mobile phone reception in our valley. We highly recommend turning on your "Wi-Fi Calling" feature before you arrive; our fast Wi-Fi will then allow your phone to work seamlessly. Please have your driving directions loaded before you leave the nearest town.
KEEPING YOUR SANCTUARY PERFECT
To ensure the property is always at its best, our maintenance team may need to visit during your stay. This includes our gardener, pool technician, or a cleaner accessing the laundry facilities. Your privacy is their absolute priority. They are professional, discreet, and trained to work in a way that minimises any impact on your stay.
