A very welcoming Hideaway!
Was such a unique spot! With the beautiful Forrest encapsulating the hideaway, and the hideaway itself! It was truly a great getaway for a small group of people. Jess provided more than enough. Would definitely recommend checking it out!

After 2+ years of 'you-know-what', we were feeling pretty fragged and ready for a break. Came across Hippie Hideaway's listing by sheer good luck. What a great place to unwind. The dwelling sits in a little pocket of rainforest about 45 mins drive from Cairns, so it's deliciously removed from the outside world. Camp fires and lazy sofa times (including a good few daytime nana-naps), early to bed with the lullaby of the frogs & other night creatures and up at dawn to an orchestra of birdsong. But don't be fooled into thinking you'll be roughing it. Sure, there's a back-to-nature, earth-ship feel about it all, but the place is well appointed: comfy bed, hot shower, well-equipped kitchen (incl. tea, coffee, potable water & various condiments - you won't have to bring/buy much at all). The nearest settlement for supplies is Kuranda, about 15 mins drive. Perched at the top of the Barron Gorge, it's worth a visit or two. Quite touristy, but very charming. Meanwhile, back at the Hideaway, the only 'downside', which actually isn't a downside at all, is that you will struggle to get a good data signal close to the dwelling, so you'll have plenty of opportunity to rediscover the art of conversation or maybe catch up on a couple of good books. Fantastic! We booked Hippie Hideaway for 5 days. Wish we'd booked it for 10. Highly recommended and definitely top of the list for a return visit.

Jess and Ben have gone to great efforts to create a fantastic unique experience. Its beyond Glamping and they have thought of everything to make it as comfortable and fun as possible. There was four of us, and nothing was too much trouble in terms of providing us with linen for the queen bed and swags and sleeping bags for those of us lucky enough to sleep outside (an awesome nights sleep!). Everything was well stocked; kitchen utensils, some provisions, candles, mozzie coils, and plenty of cut wood for the open fire. Its tucked away and off grid, but theres power, gas and a flushing dunnie! Just download your spotify playlists beforehand for the big bluetooth speaker provided. Great fun.
