The Experience
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque New England Tablelands, Platypus Bend was
created as a haven—a slice of heaven for all who visit.
From the meticulously designed architecture to the thoughtful comfort details, each element has been curated with care and attention.
Here, nature seamlessly blends with progress, creating a stunning backdrop where every moment is a testament to the beauty of rural life.
Platypus Bend offers you the perfect balance of luxury comforts and off-grid living.
Set on 500 of acres our contemporary design focuses on bringing the outside in, whether you are enjoying your morning sipping a freshly brewed coffee on the back deck or wandering along the riverside wallaby tracks, you can disconnect, relax and be at one with nature.
This is an experience you will never forget.
Some people are not sure what to expect with off-grid living. We can assure you that you won’t be sleeping on a hay bale with a log for a pillow. Instead, expect fresh linen to complement our luxury mattress topper. Rest assured you will get a great night’s sleep and be ready to do it all again the next day.
The eco cabin is a 25-minute drive from Glen Innes or a 1.5-hour drive from Grafton.
The Gibraltar Range & Washpool National Parks are nearby, close enough for a day trip. Or you can just explore the walking tracks by the river, surrounded by huge granite boulders & watch for the platypus.
Our rear deck overlooks the headwaters of the Severn River, home to a healthy population of platypus.
Wildlife abounds in the surrounding area however the yard is fenced so feel free to bring your pooch for a holiday too.
They are welcome to go for an explore with you but best to take them on a lead if you want to see the platypus.
Platypus Bend is an inviting space that beckons you to unwind and savour life & the simpler pleasures. Indulge in some yoga or gazing under the stars.
Disconnect, unwind and recalibrate.
