Description
“Stars of Doona” is a comfortable furnished house located high on the Great Dividing Range west of Jervis Bay at Sassafras.
Nestled in a sheltered north-east facing valley, the property is an ideal place to relax and unwind in beautiful natural bushland surroundings.
Take in the beautiful bush views and enjoy watching and listening to birds and other animals or gaze at the distant mountain ridges from the sunny sheltered north facing deck. The architect designed home blends into the spectacular forested landscape and uses passive solar design principles to provide a comfortable environment on hot summer days as well as on and cold winter nights.
The name "Stars of Doona" was passed on from a previous owner and supposedly has a connection with Greek Mythology although we have not been able to trace the origin of this theme and suspect it might somehow have been lost in translation. Nevertheless the name is evocative of the clear starry cool nights characteristic of this wonderful place.
The Sassafras district is located at the northern gateway to the spectacular Budawangs Range which offers extensive wilderness bushwalking opportunities, spectacular scenery and a stunning variety of Australian native plants and animals.
To the north is Morton National Park and the Ettrema Wilderness with a myriad of possibilities for experienced buskwalkers.
All this within 45 minutes by car to the pristine beaches of Jervis Bay.
With accommodation for up to 6 people, “Stars of Doona” has two bedrooms two bathrooms, a cozy wood combustion heater and a large open plan living dining kitchen area with a comfortable sofa bed. You can open the sliding doors to create a wonderful indoor/outdoor living space linking the hardwood deck with the large living area.
Accommodation consists of one queen bed in one bedroom, 1 king single bed and 2 king single bunk beds in the second bedroom and one sofa bed in the main living area.
The house is powered by a combination of standalone solar and gas and is an easy way to experience "off-grid" living in comfort.
No smoking and no pets and no parties are permitted at this property.

"Relaxing and private getaway" Beautiful location, very quiet and private, perfect place for a relaxing getaway from the city. John's instructions for check-in were clear and the property was easy to find. Thanks for a great stay!

"Peaceful break from the city hustle bustle." Very well equipped home with a lovely ambience especially during the daytime. Ample sunlight that brightens your morning. Even though there wasn’t a microwave or electric kettle, we managed pretty well. Only drawback is very poor network connectivity while inside the house - works from the deck tho .... The owner John is a very nice person to deal with, responds really quick to queries. Will definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful break from the city hustle bustle.

It was a lovely place to stay. Very well equipped with an effective fireplace to ward off the cool weather. The Kangaroos outside in the morning were nice to wake up to. Instructions from John on how to get there were very clear. We had a fun time with the games and enjoyed our stay here.
