Bindera House | Water Gums Retreat, Barrington River, Barrington Tops area, perfect for groups

4 Bedroom House in Bindera

Love the wilderness but can't do without the comforts of home? Then Water Gums is for you.
This unique four-bedroom fully self-contained mudbrick and cedar house is right next to the Barrington River, only a short drive from Gloucester.
The property enjoys a 320m frontage to the Barrington River. The house is in a secluded sanctuary, surrounded by trees and bushland which are full of birds and other wildlife. A place of peace and tranquility. There is a billabong just below the house where platypus and other aquatic life are commonly sighted.
Two of the bedrooms have queen-size beds, one has a double and one has three single beds, plus some mattresses for the extras. Two of the bedrooms are downstairs where the main bathroom and two-person spa are located. The other two bedrooms are upstairs along with a second bathroom. Linen is not provided but can be arranged at an additional cost if required.
Satellite wi-fi is available for guests.
Water Gums Retreat is the ideal getaway for couples, families and small groups seeking a secluded natural retreat within easy range of the Barrington Tops.
It features beautiful billabongs - one with an outlet to the river, wonderful wildlife and secluded bushland charm. Platypus are commonly seen in the early morning and around dusk.
The slow combustion log fire keeps the house lovely and warm during winter and the large covered deck is an ideal spot for summer outdoor dinning. Fully equipped kitchen and BBQ on the deck.
The house was largely built from locally made mudbricks and features timber slab detailing fashioned from trees felled and milled onsite.
Platypus, wallabies, echidnas, goannas, bats, waterfowl and many other creatures are commonly seen here.
Abundant wildlife
Water Gums is a bird-watcher's paradise, with the pre-dawn chorus an amazing daily treat. Nestled among the treetops the house looks out into the branches and greenery, with glimpses of the billabong and river in between the dense branches.

Summary: It is set in a sort of valley, surrounded by trees, with this huge veranda which would be heaven sent in summer, sadly, this is mid-winter.The river is such a short walk away, and if you are with children in Summer, they will have such a wonderful time.The place is very roomy with three single beds in one room and a very comfortable queen, I think in the other, I wish I had seen the phone charger sooner :)Downstairs, there are two huge bedrooms (to me) with a queen bed in each. They do seem bigger than double.There was all the usual "stuff" such as cooking utilities, glasses, cups and the like.There is one downside, my wife is who is 86 and has trouble walking, found some stairs a problem, I was warned that some sections would cause problems, but I really, really wanted to look at the place for a summer stay :)So to sum up, a young family, in summer, would have such a great time, there is so much to do if it was not cold haha, oh also a family reunion would go down well there.I am not going to add photos, as we just treated the place as an RR holiday, there are many photos on the site for this place :)
