A wood-fired hot tub and private plunge pool have been added to deluxe cabins at Carawirry Forest Escape in the foothills of the pristine Barrington Tops, three hours north of Sydney, enhancing the allure of the boutique, forest hideaway.
And further adding to the appeal of the eco retreat is a new ‘stay four, pay three’ offer which provides a free night at the restful and secluded hideaway plus a bonus grazing box of local produce and Hunter Valley wine for bookings made by December 21, 2025.
Spanning 100-hectares of lush rainforest, fern-lined creeks, secret swimming holes and scenic bush, 20 mins north of Dungog, Carawirry Forest Escape boasts four unique stays perfect for couples, families or small groups – two, double-storey log cabins that resemble grown-up treehouses, a cosy timber cottage brimming with rustic charm, and a larger, modern, forest-view haven, each totally private and self-contained with log fires. Each cottage and cabin is also lovingly styled and thoughtfully stocked so that all guests need to bring is food, clothes, a sense of adventure and a desire to slow down, switch off and succumb to the soothing balm of nature at its best.
An indulgent, wood-fired hot tub, which can also transform into a cold plunge, has been added to the outdoor deck of the two-storey ‘Gum Leaf Cabin’ for tranquil soaks surrounded by the eucalypts. And ‘The Cottage’, a cosy haven with an outdoor bath now also sports a large, four-metre, private plunge pool, filled with revitalising mineral water for refreshing dips by day and blissful floats beneath the stars at night.
Carawirry Forest Escape co-owner and passionate eco-tourism advocate, Heather Watkins, said the new ‘stay four, pay three’ offer was purpose-designed to help the frazzled unwind. “The fourth night changes the rhythm and adds lasting and more meaningful resonance, with more scope to completely unwind and unravel, and more time for long baths, forest ambles and fireside stories. Un-rushing these days takes time,” Heather explained. “Anyone seeking a genuine slow down away from the 24/7 busyness of life will relish the peaceful ambience of Carawirry, so that fourth night is on us!” she added.
