WHY YOU'LL LOVE THE DUO:
• THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: Enjoy the sparkling private pool at one house and the magical, creekside outdoor shower at the other.
• TOTAL COMFORT, ALL YEAR: Both homes feature electric fireplaces and are fully equipped with two reverse-cycle air conditioners each for perfect heating and cooling.
• TOGETHER BUT SEPARATE: The perfect setup for two couples or a small group, offering shared experiences with the total privacy of your own separate home.
• UNMATCHED LUXURY & CLEANLINESS: Both homes are kept spick and span with professional cleaning, and your stay includes high-quality linens and lovely Sheridan towels.
• TWO LUXURIOUS BEDROOMS: Each house has an incredibly comfy king-sized bed with a full menu of premium pillows for a perfect night's sleep.
When you book The Duo, you get exclusive access to two completely separate and fully-featured one-bedroom homes on our serene hinterland property. Both homes have been designed with your ultimate comfort in mind, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of.
THE POOL HOUSE is a sun-drenched oasis centred around its stunning private pool. The open-plan living area has a cozy electric fireplace, a 65-inch 4K TV, and a library of books and games. For year-round comfort, it is fully equipped with two reverse-cycle air conditioners (lounge and bedroom).
The chef's kitchen has everything you need, including an electric BBQ on the deck.
The luxurious bedroom features an incredibly comfortable king-sized bed, a full menu of premium pillows, high-quality linens, and plush Sheridan towels.
THE CREEK HOUSE is a rustic cottage perched meters from the soothing sounds of Snows Creek, with an unforgettable outdoor shower. The cottage includes a romantic electric fireplace, a library, and a true cook's kitchen, also with an electric BBQ on the deck. It's kept comfortable in all seasons with two reverse-cycle air conditioners (lounge and bedroom).
The peaceful bedroom has a comfy king bed with its own premium pillow menu, high-quality linens, and lovely Sheridan towels, where you can fall asleep to the sound of the creek.
The entire retreat is exclusively yours. When you book The Duo, you and your group have private and uninterrupted access to everything on the property. This includes both the Pool House and the Creek House, the sparkling swimming pool, all decks and outdoor areas, the lush gardens, and the beautiful creek itself. You will not be sharing the property with any other guests. Enjoy complete freedom and privacy.
Your privacy is our highest priority. We designed Snows Creek Retreat to be your own completely private world, and we do not live on the property. 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.
You will have the entire estate to yourself. Located in the peaceful Byron Bay Hinterland, Snows Creek Retreat is a private sanctuary surrounded by rainforest and the sounds of nature. Your nearest neighbours are wallabies, koalas, echidnas, and the occasional platypus in the creek.
While you feel a million miles from anywhere, the charming village of Federal (home to the famous Doma Cafe) and the eclectic town of Mullumbimby are just a scenic drive away. It is the perfect base for exploring the region's stunning natural beauty, from the spectacular Minyon Falls to the artisan shops of Newrybar and Bangalow.
A private vehicle is essential. To enjoy your stay at Snows Creek Retreat, you must have your own car. There is no public transport, and while ride-share apps (like Uber) might "technically" work in the region, they are unreliable and prohibitively expensive due to our secluded location.
The Drive & Parking The final leg of your journey is on a classic unsealed country road. It is well-maintained and suitable for any standard 2WD vehicle in all weather conditions. We advise taking it slow to enjoy the scenery and watch for wildlife (especially at dusk). Once you arrive, there is ample complimentary parking on-site for multiple vehicles.
Exploring the Region We are the perfect base for exploring. You are just a short, scenic drive from the spectacular Minyon Falls or the charming villages of Federal, Bangalow, and Newrybar.
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.
SPECIAL OFFER FOR PET PARENTS
We love seeing your pets enjoying their vacation! Share a great photo or video of them from their stay on social media, and we'll refund their nightly pet fee. Here’s how: 1. Post a public photo or video. 2. Tag @SnowsCreekRetreat and use the hashtag #SnowsCreekAndPaws. 3. Send us a link to your post!
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 no 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 main highway.
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 or pool technician. Your privacy is their absolute priority. They are professional, discreet, and trained to work in a way that minimises any impact on your stay.
