Figtree Creek Retreat

“Julian was an excellent, responsive and communicative host, very friendly but also happy to leave us to ourselves. We had a really lovely, comfortable stay in peaceful surrounds”

“Gorgeous barn accomodation, our two teens and dog were well catered for with lots of outdoor swing seats, a creek, incredible stargazing at night and peaceful country walks.”

“We absolutely loved our 7 night stay. My husband and I and our 2 boys aged 6 and 9 would return in a heartbeat. Such a beautiful slice of NSW, far enough from everything yet close enough if you did want to explore. We appreciated the kindness to the kids and the helpfulness we received to get the most out of the region. We loved relaxing, watching the boys play soccer, visits to the creek and morning chats with the chickens. Thanks Julian, Amanda and Hunter!”

“Thank you for allowing us to stay at your gorgeous property! We had a wonderful time. It was peaceful and relaxing, with the most stunning scenery - it was the perfect winter getaway! Julian was so welcoming and accomodating. The property is well maintained and very clean, and has everything you need for a trip away. We would highly recommend and would love to come back in the future.”

“Thankyou for hosting our family. We had the most beautiful stay. Your property is stunning. Your hospitality exceeded our expectations. Thankyou again x”

“We loved our stay here! Absolutely stunning property surrounded by insane greenery and wildlife. Perfect getaway to relax and reset. Julian was an excellent host who was very welcoming and made everything about our stay easy. We loved the extra touch of fresh eggs and oranges from the property. Thank you, Julian!”

“A place like no other. Exactly the soul filling weekend this mama needed. With its stylish yet homely feel, surrounded by lush greenery, it had the most magical atmosphere, Calm, clean beautifully presented and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a relaxing getaway. The sauna was incredible, the pool was perfectly warm, and every detail felt like a little sanctuary. We genuinely didn't want to leave. Julian and his wife were warm welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We highly recommended this beautiful retreat for anyone needing a rest, recharge and a little nourishment for the soul.”

“This place was somehow even better in person than the photos. We had a truly magical stay. It was quite rainy when we visited, but the cottage/yard was cozy, clean, well cared for, and surrounded by nature. I wish we could have stayed longer. We stayed here while celebrating our elopement in Byron and Julian was responsive, nice, and super thoughtful to leave us a bottle of wine. You can tell a lot of thought and intention went into designing this oasis. The bathroom, upstairs, and yard are out of a magazine. Could not recommend enough - even the drive there was stunning!”

“This was the perfect family stay if you are visiting the region and looking for a hinterland experience. So many ‘wow’ moments as you discover the cottage and property for the first time. The accommodation was the highest quality with all the amenities provided (laundry, kitchen, bathroom/towels, fire pit, pool etc.) to make the stay as relaxing and special as possible. Julian was responsive, friendly and helpful throughout. A memorable visit and we would more than happily return!”

“I couldn’t rate this beautiful cottage highly enough! Superb communication from Julian and lots of little extras that made our weekend away extra special. Spotlessly clean, gorgeous decor and great outdoor spaces to explore with the kids. We had a fabulous weekend away with 3 teenagers in tow.”

“We loved our stay in this beautiful Middle Pocket home! Everything you need was there including a cot and high chair for our 7 month old. Even though it was rainy we still got to enjoy the pool and the surrounding areas. We had the best time and would love to visit again when the weather is better.”

“Extremely beautiful property and house, we loved our stay here. Very comfortable beds, super clean and so many nice lovely extra touches that were very appreciated. Julian was super responsive and accommodating. One of the best places we have stayed. Couldn’t recommend it more”

“We had a fabulous stay. Lovely home that was perfect for a holiday with toddlers. The location was ideal too as it was easy to get to lovely beaches.”

“Julian’s space was absolutely beautiful. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. Top highlights were: the views, the plunge pool, and the animal friends. Really great place to stay for a kid, so much space to frolic, go for a dip in the creek, play on the trampoline etc. Will be recommending Julian and his gorgeous home to everyone!”

“Such a beautiful spot. Would be lovely to visit all year round. Had the best time with our 2 little toddlers. Lots of wholesome family fun. Would definitely visit again. Julian was a great host and very helpful.”

“Great spot”

“We had a great stay here! It’s a beautiful place and we felt right at home. Julian was very helpful and responsive, and we would’ve stayed longer if we could have!”

“Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect. The home and property are beautiful, there was so much to do with the kids and it was such a fantastic place to unwind. The house itself is immaculate and has everything you could need. Our time spent exploring the creek was a highlight as well as a lovely little easier egg hunt Julian included us in for our 2 kids for Easter! Highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a magical time away Julian!”

“Figtree Creek Retreat was everything we hoped for and more. Surrounded by nature, the house is gorgeous and was the perfect space for a weekend away with friends (we had 5 adults). Close enough to drive to cafes and restaurants but felt like we were much further out of town. The pool area was lovely to hang around in the sun. Beds were comfortable. The host Julian was awesome, always responding promptly and giving clear instructions for a smooth check in/out. Highly recommend!”

“We were very happy here! A wonderful place”

“What a beautiful cottage for a getaway. The place was extremely comfortable and very peaceful with tranquil tropical surroundings. Julian was always responsive and very welcoming”

“Best stay ever!!! Sooo peaceful and Julian was so accommodating! Wish we could stay forever”

“The most amazing stay!! Wish I could move in ♥️🍷 Julian and Amanda were soo accommodating and helpful!!”

“Fig tree creek is my favourite holiday house I’ve ever used. The property was absolutely beautiful, so serene and peaceful and Julian was such a welcoming and helpful host. We went for a birthday celebration and there were so many beautiful touches. A chalk board with “happy birthday” to welcome us, special treats in the fridge. A beautiful new pool and sauna had us relaxed instantly. This peaceful home was only a short drive from the action so we didn’t miss out on the highlife either. Julia had some amazing restaurant recommendations and we ate so well. The house had everything we needed and more and every detail was thought out and tasteful. We loved every minute.”

“I’m very much enjoyed the stay at Julian’s. Very nice pool and creek for you to relax. The room was clean and comfortable.”

“Honestly I cannot describe how amazing this place is. We spent 2 days here and wish it could have been longer. The scenery, every little touch and everything was just lovely. The hosts were extremely welcoming and they really did think of everything even down to leaving some cold beers in the fridge which my husband and my dad really appreciated. The pool was a very welcome addition and all the amenities were well thought out. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!”

“Thank you to Julian for this incredible stay. It was such a peaceful and serene home in the most beautiful settings. Julian went above and beyond to make us feel at home and was available to answer any questions. The fresh eggs were incredible touch! I hope to be back again - it was the perfect place to rejuvenate!”

“Absolutely beautiful. Everything we could have wanted and more! We will be back 🥰”

“From start to finish our stay at Little pocket cottage was amazing. Julian made us feel at home and nothing was ever an issue. Everything you need is within a 10min drive.”

“An incredible stay. We absolutely loved our treetop retreat. The space is beautifully restored, meticulously appointed and instantly welcoming. From the relaxed surroundings and stunning grounds to the fun and refreshing plunge pool, everything was perfect. The hosts were incredibly responsive and generous. We loved our stay so much we wished we didn’t have to leave. Thank you Julian for everything and we hope to be back soon.”

“This is such a special place, built with care and attention. We loved the house, especially the upstairs with the big windows and swinging bed. Everything felt so comfortable and intentional. Julian was a fantastic host, always keeping us in the loop and even stocking the house with eggs from their hens. My son wanted to move in permanently! We loved it and would be thrilled to return.”

“I highly recommend Julians place. We loved the home, the beautiful property and walking to the creek at the back of the property. The home was really clean and the hosts really responsive any time we messaged them. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway.”

“Took the whole family there including two young kids and the dog Perfect place for everyone! Highly recommend to anyone”

“This was one of the most beautiful, calming, peaceful places we’ve ever stayed in. The house is magic. Everything about it is perfect, down to extremely comfortable beds. The surroundings were so amazing. We felt like we were in paradise!”

“What a wonderful stay! So much to explore and do. Our busy boys loved it!”

“Such a beautiful space to stay. The area was so peaceful and quiet. Lots of land and a beautiful creek. The beds were so comfy and the home was designed beautifully! Didn't want to leave.”

“Absolutely stunning house in a beautiful setting surrounded by nature. The house had everything we could have wished for and more, lots to do inside and in the garden. We felt right at home and loved exploring the place with our kids. Will definitely come back!”

“Julian and his family are fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond for my family, making us feel right at home. I cannot think of a single thing they could have done better. Beautiful, tranquil, calming. Exactly what we needed.”

“Clean, comfortable and welcoming, would highly recommend!”

“We had such a beautiful stay in this gorgeous cottage. Julian had thought of everything and all the small details were much appreciated. The outdoor facilities for our three boys were perfect and they loved running around wild 🥰 We had such a lovely stay and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone thinking about it! Thank you for having us ♥️”

“Absolutely amazing, the photos didn’t do the place justice! We were absolutely stunned when we arrived, such a beautiful, secluded destination with incredible wildlife and farms around. Perfect place for a retreat/recharge!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful farm in the Northern Rivers! The setting is idyllic — wide green fields, cows and chickens (with fresh eggs to enjoy for breakfast), and so many lovely activities to enjoy right on the property. It was peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing family getaway. The accommodation was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. As a family traveling with a newborn, we were especially grateful for how child- and baby-friendly everything was — the hosts had all the equipment ready for us, which made things so much easier. The hosts themselves were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it really felt like they had gone out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a special and family-friendly stay in the Northern Rivers — we’re already hoping to come back again.”

“Stayed at this property with friends for a long weekend and it was absolutely perfect. So much for the kids to do on-site, great spot to kick back and relax and a short drive to lots of amazing spots. Julian was a great host who made us feel right at home. The home was beautiful and plenty of space for our 2 small families. Very clean and comfortable.”

“Figtree Creek Retreat is a blissful, out of town experience. We stayed for a few nights and enjoyed every minute. Our purpose was to go to the inaugural Mullum Roots 2025 music festival, and we loved being in the quiet of the countryside after full days and evenings of music. The spaces are well designed and beautiful. A lot of thought and care has gone into all of the details. And the beds are so comfortable. The retreat is on two levels and the upper living space is accessed via a spiral stair - likely difficult for those with limited mobility. Recommend very highly, and if the opportunity arises we'll be back!”

“This was the perfect place to stay for our family. Every need for our stay had been thought of by the hosts. We would love to go back again sometime.”

“We recently had a wonderful stay at this cottage in the hinterland, and it was truly a memorable experience. The location was perfect for our family, especially our son, who had endless opportunities to explore the beautiful surroundings. The cottage itself was cozy and well-equipped, providing all the comforts we needed. The peaceful atmosphere was a great escape from our busy lives. We left feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the time spent together as a family in such a beautiful setting. We can't wait to return!”

“100% coming back, myself and my sound healer friends had the most beautiful mini getaway at this stunning property. Julian has attended to every detail. It met our expectations and the infrared sauna was beyond beautiful and appreciated. Thank you again.”

“We stayed in a piece of paradise. Beautifully decorated rustic house and mother nature at it's perfection around it. The creek behind the property was the highlight of our stay. We were lucky enough to have the oranges fresh from the trees and organic free range eggs from the chooks as well. The host were very friendly and helpful. Everything that you need is here. We were provided with a whole carton of milk, eggs, oranges and even beer. Very thoughtfully set bedroom as well, even with sleepy mist and slippers. Definitely coming back.”

“We had a beautiful 5 night stay here. Our 3yo was accommodated for kindly with a baby gate at the top of the stairs and a bed rail. We felt at home and had everything we needed and more. Julian was easy to communicate with and very helpful. It’s a peaceful location that’s close to so much - what a beautiful part of the world to visit! Many thanks, we hope to return one day 🙂”

“Me and my friends spend a lot of time at Airbnb’s - it’s kind of a hobby - so I think we have seen our fair share of places and can tell when something is nice . But this one was really outstanding! Julian and Amanda made it such an amazing space. It’s not just the look of the entire house, it’s all the small details that made our stay perfect! There’s more than enough towels, even heaps of small ones for the face, there’s bath salts, lavender bed spray, fresh eggs… the list could go on and on. Everything was thought of, which is something that’s not the case in every Airbnb. Julian was also super helpful with everything we needed. 10/10 recommend this place if you get the chance to stay there!”

“This is a truly special place to stay and the most beautiful space. The design is stunning and the natural light makes you feel like you’re in an issue of architectural digest! We had a beautiful relaxing stay, the little creek was perfect for a dip and we felt truly relaxed by the end of this stay. Definitely going to the top of our Airbnb list.”

“I had a beautifully peaceful time. Julian and Amanda have thought of everything. This is the place where comfort is every bit as important as aesthetics. The finishes, the colours and textures were all so lovely. The cottage not only looked but smelled nice on arrival. It was impeccably kept. It was perfect for my purpose, a place to have a rest, read and reset. My only complaint is that i had to leave too soon. Thanks for the truly lovely escape ♡”

“Had a great weekend away with friends at this beautiful home. Such a great space to hangout inside playing cards or getting outside to explore the beautiful property.”

“We were 4 men in our 60's on a golfing trip. The place was perfect for us. We each had a bed, we were able to cook a meal each night while sitting around having a few drinks in a very private, beautiful location. I would highly recommend Julian's place, to anybody who wants to get away for a while.”

“Loved our stay here. Extremely quiet and peaceful - exactly what we were after. Coffee in the morning looking at the gorgeous views hearing cows and cockatoos was just perfect. Very clean. a short drive to a local bakery and within 10 minutes to a kid and dog friendly beach. Extremely accomodating hosts with excellent communication.”

“We came to stay here for a long weekend to recharge our batteries and shake off some urban stress. It was exactly what we needed. The accommodation was comfortable and cosy and although it was not far out of the way from the rest of the shire, it felt like we were in a private sanctuary. The property is so beautiful, the kids are already begging to go back. The hosts were wonderful and clearly love to provide a great experience for their guests with many additional touches that elevated our stay.”

“Perfect stay with our toddler! We enjoyed the beautiful house along with the surroundings. Easy trip in to town to restaurants and cafes, plenty to see and do around this area! Thanks for the stay!”

“We loved our stay! The house was lovely — everything we needed for us and our little ones, beautiful surrounds and friendly animals. Julian was a great host, dropping off extra eggs and checking in with us through the stay.”

“Beautiful little house. Perfect place to relax and unwind. Thank you for hosting us. We will be back!!!”

“Amanda and Julian were amazing hosts! Their beautiful property is a home away from home and it was perfect for our young family and dog. They were so accommodating and even welcomed us into their home yard to pat and play with their chickens which was an absolute crowd pleaser for my kids. Epic surrounds and nearby creek and we had a family game of soccer (with ball and goal provided). Such a peaceful part of the world and a nice way to connect with all that nature has to offer.”

“Had the most peaceful, relaxing stay. Julian and Amanda are amazing hosts, made everything so welcoming and easy for us. We will be back for sure, Thank you for making this weekend so Perfect.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The property is stunning, beautifully renovated with so much care and taste. Everything was spotless, and the beds were incredibly comfortable—we all slept so well. Amanda and Julian were the most thoughtful hosts, going above and beyond to make our stay special. They even lent us books and toys for our child, which was such a kind gesture. Their local recommendations were spot on and helped us make the most of our time in the area. If you’re looking for a peaceful, stylish, and welcoming retreat, this is it. We’d love to return!”

“Was für eine großartige Unterkunft und überaus gastfreundliche Gastgeber. Wir wurden täglich mit frischen Eiern von den hauseigenen Hühnern versorgt. Die Unterkunft bot alles, was wir als 6-köpfige Gruppe benötigten und ist wirklich sehr ruhig gelegen. Wir haben uns sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.”

“From the welcome sign when we arrived, to the thoughtful gift on my birthday, Amanda and Julian considered every little detail to make our stay as chilled as possible. The home was gorgeous and full of things that make your stay just perfect.. welcome beers, condiments, games, books (even a cheeky little number 😉) and bathroom essentials, they thought everything so we didn’t need to. I cannot express how clean this home is, without feeling clinical. Perfect getaway.. went way too fast but my heart was full that my family and I were together for my 50th. Thanks for the best stay!”

“An amazing and unique place to stay. It was the highlight of our entire trip!”

“Really beautiful accommodation and spot. Would stay again!”

“Beautiful Airbnb, we had a fantastic stay!”

“Absolutely loved our stay at Julian & Amanda's Airbnb. The home is surrounded by beautiful gardens, we walked the property and loved going for a dip in the creek. Inside the home is fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable 4 night stay with our little babe. The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom is gorgeous to rejuvenate in and every window looks out into greenery! The home is tastfully decorated too. Julian and Amanda are lovely people and were very responsive and easy to communicate with. Even though the main home is in close proximity to the Airbnb we still felt as though it was very private. Thank you for a wonderful stay 😊”

“We had an absolutely delightful stay at Julian's place. The house boasts a beautiful, warm ambiance and stunning views of lush greenery—you truly feel immersed in nature! It's also conveniently located, just a short distance from stunning beaches, fantastic restaurants, and scenic walking and cycling trails. Julian was an incredibly welcoming and attentive host, ensuring our stay was as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Thank you for a memorable and relaxing getaway!”

“We recently had the pleasure of staying at Julian’s & Amandas Airbnb in the middle pocket. and we can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. The property boasts breathtaking green views that seem to stretch endlessly, providing a serene backdrop that truly makes you feel at one with nature. The accommodation itself is beautifully designed, blending comfort with rustic charm. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, making it a cozy retreat. What truly sets Julian’s & Amanda’s place apart is the exceptional service. Julian was an attentive host, always available to provide recommendations and ensure that my stay was as comfortable as possible. His warm hospitality made me feel right at home. Freshly laid eggs on Xmas and everyday by Amanda, made our breakfast so much better. Highly recommend the place.”

“Amazing spot. Beautifully furnished. The creek on the property was amazing and lots of fun with the kids. Will definitely book again and recommend to others.”

“The place was incredible and we felt so at peace during our visit. Thanks so much for hosting us!”

“We absolutely loved staying at Julian’s place. Our little getaway would not have been the same if we hadn’t stayed at this lovely farm house. We really enjoyed the private creek on the property and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit outside:)”

“Was very impressed. We will be back”
