Nestled under a canopy of trees, and just steps away from the Purling Brook Falls hiking trails, Water & Woods is your self-catered cabin of cosiness.

Here is your chance to relax… or be active - surrounded by a very special part of the Gondwana rainforest, less than 50 minutes from the hustle and bustle of those bright lights of the Gold Coast. Yes, that’s what you’re seeing from the breakfast bar.

“We were looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay and Water & Woods delivered! A gorgeous cabin in a beautiful forest setting, it is divine. It is hard to leave! The cabin is beautifully furnished and decorated, and the kitchen is well set up for self catering. Water & Woods feels warm and welcoming. The outdoor bath is the best! We enjoyed doing the Purling Brook Falls track, right on the doorstep. Hope to stay again when the world feels a bit busy. ”

“We had the most amazing time during our stay, the house is so nice and cozy with lots of attention to detail! The surroundings are breathtaking, only a short stroll to a beautiful hike that takes you to an amazing waterfall, it really doesn’t get any better. The hosts were great, very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a break from city life!”

A romantic, dreamy image of a wooden picnic setting looking over the trees of the Springbrook National Park, in the Gold Coast hinterland. The scene is relaxing and peaceful.

Stay… where the trees touch the sky, the waters dance, and your gaze drifts to the distant sea.
