Thrums Retreat – A Secluded Bush Haven in Upper Orara Valley

Welcome to Thrums Retreat, a peaceful 140-acre bush sanctuary tucked away in the stunning Upper Orara Valley. Surrounded by native forest and birdsong, this relaxed country retreat is perfect for families, couples, or solo travellers seeking space, privacy, and a genuine connection to nature.
Thrums is not luxury accommodation, but it is a comfortable, clean and well-loved home with a warm “home away from home” feel — ideal for guests who value tranquillity, simplicity, and the beauty of the Australian bush.
Your Journey to Tranquillity
Located approximately 25 minutes from Coffs Harbour and the charming village of Coramba, Thrums is accessed via a 1 km unsealed driveway, recently resurfaced and suitable for standard vehicles in normal conditions. For first-time visitors, we recommend arriving during daylight to enjoy the scenic ascent and ensure a relaxed arrival.
Once you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping bushland views, complete seclusion, and the calming sounds of nature.
