For up to 6 guests. Great for pets and families.

Our riverside cabins are very comfortable and you should have everything you need for an enjoyable stay.  Each log cabin is fully furnished with a full kitchen, outdoor BBQ and has a cosy fireplace. There is a Nespresso coffee machine for yummy capuccinos.

There is one separate bedroom with king-size bed plus 4 single sofa beds in the main room. While all cottages have the same bedroom and floor layout, each one is furnished slightly differently. Some cabins have balconies, others have wide open spaces.

Turon Gates accommodation is self-catering so bring your food and drinks and a beach towel with you if you like the idea of swimming in the river on your doorstep. 

Your pet is welcome to stay with you. Do bring bedding and feeding bowls, look after droppings and please no pets up on the beds or chairs. 

Turon Gates is environmentally friendly and we use only gas and solar energy.   And by special plan - no TVs or wifi - simply enjoy the serenity of the Australian bush! Please note there is no mobile phone reception down in the valley and there is no telephone in the cabin for your complete rest and relaxation. The manager's cottage is approximately 2km away.

{b}About this listing{/b}
Our 20-acre property is located less than two-hour drive from Sydney and is situated 627m above sea level. Being at this altitude level, the weather is on average 5 degrees cooler in summer and winter than that of Sydney. We can experience 4 seasons in one day so always bring winter woollies and a raincoat.
Looking up at the sky at night gives you the WOW factor. You will see stars that you never knew even existed with our clear environment.

We are surrounded by National Parks with spectacular lookouts and waterfalls. A 15-min walk through the back of our property, through our own rainforest, takes you to the edge of the escarpment to our very own private lookout overlooking the Illawarra district. A 1.2km walk or bicycle ride up our quiet road surrounded by cattle farms brings you to spectacular Lees Rd Lookout where you can see the coastline from The Royal National Park (Sydney) all the way down to Shellharbour where spectacular sunrises are assured.

We are only 25-minute drive to the wonderful beaches of the south coast which offer a variety of activities to be explored. Foxglove Cottage is located on the banks of Missingham Creek which winds its way through our property. There are ample swimming holes to enjoy the crystal clear water but “please don’t pee in our pool” because it’s Sydney’s drink water!

We have three horses which roam our property in fenced paddocks. Whilst visitors stay, the horses will be kept out of the way. If you wish to meet them, please let us know.

{b}The space{/b}
The tiny house offers guests a comfortable stay with its well-equipped kitchenette complete with air-conditioning and heating. There is a queen sized bed up in the loft and a sofa bed on the ground floor, which can be converted to a single bed size. It can sleep 2 adults (in the loft) and 1 child (on the sofa bed) comfortably.

The kitchenette has everything you need to cook your light meals with. A portable cooker, cookware, cooking utensils, cutlery, dishes & silverware, microwave and even a mini fridge. The portable cooker can be kept in the drawers when not in use to maximise space.

Our bathroom facilities follow ecologically sustainable principles, including a waterless eco-friendly compost toilet, hand basin and shower (gas heated for hot showers). In Australia's severe climatic challenge of bush fires and drought, we help to save the environment by conserving water using an eco-friendly toilet. Wastes are broken down in the compost toilet via an aerobic decomposition process. It is a waterless system (no need to flush!), whereas a standard dual flush toilet would use up to 350L of water per week. An aeration fan helps in the decomposition process and minimises odours.

If you're using your own soap, shampoo, tooth paste, we ask that you bring biodegradable ones so that the grey water runoff does not harm the environment. Thank you!

{b}Guest access{/b}
Guests are free to roam around our paddocks but must ensure all gates are left as they found them. Guests are only allowed to approach our horses with hosts permission and supervision.

{b}Other things to note{/b}
– We are surrounded by farms so you may hear the occasional cow or donkey, among the chatter of birds and frogs
– We have 3 horses and 2 friendly border collie dogs
– Languages spoken are English and German
– As we are located 627m above sea level and Robertson is regarded as the 'Green Heart of the Highlands' for a reason, we can get 4 seasons in 1 day, so adequate clothing is highly recommended, including solid footwork

– Outdoor movie is available (depends on weather condition). There is a large movie list available in the Welcome Folder on site or guests may bring their own DVDs or USB sticks
– Guests with infants would have to bring their own portable travel cot

There are two ways from Sydney, we have found option 2 to be the quicker way.
1.Scenic coast road, take the M1 and follow the signs from Berry to Kangaroo Valley.
2.Country drive, follow the M5 motor way to Mittagong and take the Bowral/Mittagong turnoff, from Bowral follow the signs to Nowra/Fitzroy Falls from Fitzroy Falls to Kangaroo Valley.(approx. ½ hour from Bowral to Kangaroo Valley). When you arrive at the entrance to the village, past the bridge, you will see a turning to the right signed for Mt Scanzi Road and Kangaroo Valley Country Club. The entrance to the property is approx. 5km along this road Total journey approx. 2 hours depending on the traffic out of Sydney.
