'Cause we have now! Lake Barra Cottages are so lovely and quiet and so peaceful you can literally hear a pin drop (or more accurately the filament in a lightbulb tick as it cools down!). We arrived at night, via a dirt road (well graded and my little hatchback did just fine!), to property with no lights on which, at first, seemed a little eerie. Don't worry, it's FINE, we just got there a tad earlier than anticipated and they hadn't left our porch lights on yet! Our cottage was very well...

The main road, Araluen Road, winds through the valley, offering picturesque drives and access to various natural attractions. It's an excellent base for exploring the surrounding national parks and waterways.
Couples looking for a relaxing escape will find the Araluen Valley ideal. Many accommodations here offer private settings with views of the valley or the creek, great for unwinding. You can spend your days exploring bushwalking trails, picnicking by the water, or simply enjoying the quiet of the countryside.
Families will also appreciate the Araluen Valley for its opportunities for outdoor activities. There are plenty of spots for swimming, fishing, and kayaking in the creek, and the open spaces are great for children to explore.
