Platypus Bend is luxurious accommodation equipped with the very best to provide a sophisticated and comfortable base in the Kangaroo Valley region. Explore the rolling green pastures and misty rainforest, or visit one of Kangaroo Valleys, Berrys or Gerroas many attractions.
Enjoy complete privacy, cooling down in summer at any of the many shady swimming holes dotted along the peaceful creek frontage or keep warm in winter beside the fireplaces.
A SANCTUARY FOR WILDLIFE
Half pasture & half bush. From the extensive native plantings surrounding the house to the rising slopes of regenerated forest, enjoy a sea of green.
Explore the creek bank, hidden waterfalls or fern forests or sit back on one of the decks and let nature come to you.
It is possible to spot a myriad of birdlife, wallabies, echidna's, wombats, glowworms and platypus if you sit quietly and know where to look.
In the pastures, we breed Scottish Highlander cattle renowned for their long shaggy coats while in the gardens we provide fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs and eggs from our friendly chickens.
STYLE
Formerly an old school house, Platypus Bend has been extensively renovated and enlarged to feature four bedrooms and three bathrooms comfortably and luxuriously sleeping at least eight adult guests.
Quality appliances, including two ovens and an induction stove top plus a well equipped kitchen are perfect for self-catering in style.
Luscious linen, bath towels and beach / creek towels are provided and cooking basics are supplied.
In the lounge, there is a state of the art projector screen for TV, movies or games and, throughout the house, a multi-zone music system can be used to stream our music or share your own music.
There is enough WIFI for staying in touch but not for downloading movies.
Outdoors, there are decks on both sides and both floors.
The gardens are truly beautiful and have subtle extensive LED lighting. Perfect for an evening stroll or just to admire from the deck.
HEATING & COOLING
In winter choose from lighting one or both of the wood fires or using the gas and/or electric heaters.
With a floating concrete floor, large eaves, opening verandah roof and opposing windows, the house is environmentally designed to remain cool during all but the most extreme of summer days without the need for air-conditioning. There are fans in the bedrooms and dining area if needed.
