Billagunyah - Rainforest Retreat
A pure escape. Situated on five acres in a quiet and private enclave in Upper Kangaroo River, this 2-bedroom home is a well-appointed, quiet weekend retreat for couples or a family of up to four.
Set on 5 acres including rainforest, a creek, paddock, dam and gardens is a well-appointed 2 bedroom home. A perfect escape for a peaceful weekend away from the city. Sip wine by the fire; firewood provided May to September, enjoy tea on the veranda, a barbeque on the patio, all whilst enjoying total serenity.
The house includes two living areas, a dining room and a well-appointed kitchen including Smeg espresso coffee machine. Outside, guests can enjoy the spa for two overlooking the escarpment, exploring the creek area and a bbq on the patio. The house also includes a lovely new bathroom including a bath, plus books, indoor and outdoor games.
The main bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has two singles beds
The property is approximately 15 mins from Kangaroo Valley village. Access to the property is via a 2 km private driveway which is steep in places with gravel sections and a causeway creek crossing. We recommend that guests have a 4WD or AWD with good ground clearance and extra care should be taken during wet weather. We recommend guests arrive during daylight hours so they can easier locate the property.
Due to its secluded location there is no mobile reception at the property. There is complimentary wifi if guests need to stay in touch so we recommend enabling wifi calling on your phone - or even better turn your phone off for a few days and leave the rest of the world behind!

This was our second stay. Great location, but very disappointed that the thermostat for the outdoor spa wasn’t working and the spa couldn’t be used (it was winter!)

Wow, what an incredible property, and so well managed by Kangaroo Valley Getaways. The booking process, key collection and directions were all very well organised. Important to note (which is clearly written in the listing but that I didn’t read thoroughly enough! It was fine though!) that the properly is secluded, and they recommend AWD or 4WD to access it on a steep and narrow paved track through rainforest. I managed to easily follow the carefully written directions that help you get there without service or accurate GPS, and drove up in my old Ford Focus on wet and dry days. The house and property are gorgeous, and so beautifully set up and maintained. We had everything we needed when we wanted to cook, relax, have a spa, or rest. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a relaxing time in nature to spend time together. My mum and I had a wonderful trip, and adored sitting on the back verandah, listening to the birds and drinking tea. I would love to come back at winter, as the fireplaces and spa would be cozy. We had a mix of warm and cool rainy days, and were able to open up the house or close it up with fans and an aircon unit that all worked well. The variety of birds you can hear and see is also incredible - my birder husband has demanded I take him back! Thank you for taking such pride in sharing this special home with us.
