What an amazingly serene getaway to a beautiful place. With nature on your doorstep, the private cabins at the Shire are magical in themselves and wonderfully close to a lush natural landscape that can keep you entertained and enchanted for days.

The Shire has everything and more that is needed and expected. The venue itself is unique in that you are in the foothills of the Amatola forest, the views are spectacular, the evenings are extremely quiet and are thus able to sleep peacefully and rest well The host, Rob Scott was excellent, he was always on hand and willing to assist and answer any queries We will certainly be visiting the area again and will only stay that the Shire Thank you for a wonderful stay Robbie and Kelly Stone

Unusual and cleverly designed wooden cabin looking onto indigenous forest. Plentiful sunbirds providing wonderful photographic opportunities.
