Nestled away in the Northern Rivers of NSW within a 30-minute drive of Byron Bay, you will find Salty Cabins' The Camp – your fully self-sufficient, secluded oasis. ⠀ ⠀ The Camp sits on top of a hill and has 360-degree uninterrupted views that allow you to watch the sunrise over the ocean and the sunset behind the mountains. ⠀ ⠀ The first thing to know about The Camp is that you won’t find it on any map. Instead, directions are shared just before your arrival, adding to the adventure. ⠀ ⠀ The solitary canvas bell tent sits on a circular deck, connected by a timber deck to its very elegant kitchen and bathroom. Bonus points: Salty Cabins are members of 1% for the Planet + $20 of each booking also goes to Sea Shepherd Australia.⠀ ⠀ 
Happy New Year, all! And hi to all the new faces around here. Thanks for following along 🙏🏼 Hope your summer hols are still in full swing and you’re able to slow down and appreciate the beauty we have in our own backyard, borders or no borders. We’ll be bringing you loads more Slow Stays soon so get ready to start planning your Easter escape. Katie, Celeste and Krista x 
Only 4km from Lorne but so private you’d swear you were a million miles from anywhere, The Cabin Lorne is a beautiful retreat from modern life. ⠀ ⠀ Over six acres of abundant gardens bleed into gentle slopes that lead down to deep tree fern gullies. With the three organic orchards and veggie patch once supplying Melbourne’s Cecconi’s restaurant, there’s plenty to forage for – garlic, herbs, seasonal fruits. ⠀ ⠀ What was once just a simple shed has been built on over the years from recycled timbers and features a handmade solid timber bed. The best spot to be is on the wide deck, G&T in hand – perhaps with a fresh sprig of rosemary from the garden – and an empty calendar. 
There’s a special kind of magic in the Byron Hinterland; you can’t imagine it from afar, only feel it tingle on your skin when you arrive. It seeps into your bones, wraps its arms around you the longer you stay. ⠀ ⠀ On the banks of the Wilson River a few short minutes from the village of Federal, Heartwood Farm is a handcrafted escape on a 100-acre cattle farm. Reclaimed materials used in the renovation and artisanal Australian products found throughout the cottage each have a story behind them (hello, vintage bar cart and Tasmanian whisky). ⠀ ⠀ But the onus is really on reconnecting with nature – drinking in the views as you soak in the circular plunge pool, and picking veggies and herbs from the garden to take on a picnic. It’s savouring your morning coffee as you watch the calves, running the clawfoot bath, and letting your daydreams run wild.
