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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Food and drink - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near the marina ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73350000/73342800/73342713/d52c0942.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sea Renity - Coastal Hideaway Bonny Hills - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=73342713&PinnedHotelID=73342713&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74190000/74189700/74189659/cee9daad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Baan Talay - Self contained unit with pool, wifi available North Haven - Pool - Kitchen - Microwave - Living/dining area 9.8 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=74189659&PinnedHotelID=74189659&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35130000/35128300/35128274/53275037.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Anchorage - Modern Home On The Port Macquarie Canals With Beautiful Views Port Macquarie - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.4 Exceptional 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=35128274&PinnedHotelID=35128274&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66160000/66154900/66154836/f09c8aca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Street Bliss - situated in the heart of Woolgoolga Woolgoolga - Washing machine - Dryer - Parking available - Microwave 6.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=66154836&PinnedHotelID=66154836&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35530000/35526400/35526397/8997ed37.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### OCEANSHORES 6- LOVELY 2 BEDROOM AIR CON UNIT South West Rocks - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning - Parking available 8.8 Excellent 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=35526397&PinnedHotelID=35526397&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34850000/34845700/34845603/a89a53a0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wards Holiday Flat 6 SOUTH WEST ROCKS - Pool - Kitchen - Laundry room - Barbecue grill 8.8 Excellent 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=34845603&PinnedHotelID=34845603&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34850000/34845700/34845629/3f20fa04.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunshine Cottage - walk to the beach - Bring your own linen SOUTH WEST ROCKS - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 7.4 Good 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-21&endDate=2026-01-22&selected=34845629&PinnedHotelID=34845629&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/124000000/123350000/123348000/123347965/1c040841.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ashmar offers you a true country lifestyle..
