Banksia Cottage has a lovely northern aspect with rare Blue Mountains plants in the bush around the cottage. Banksia is spacious enough to accommodate a family or small group, cosy enough to snuggle into. Like all Bunjaree Cottages, Banksia is built for the Blue Mountains environment, is earth-walled and well insulated, with the natural colour off-set with blues and greens on the internal walls. Banksia is particularly charming and many visitors return – again and again.
AND, Banksia Cottage now has access to the 'Finbar's Folly' - the world's most wonderful cubby! Finbar's Folly has been specially built for our young guests but is room sized, and has cathedral ceilings so that adults can enjoy it as well. Toys, games, kid's size furniture all provided. The most magical place!
(Banksia is a 'sister cottage' to Waratah Cottage, with the same layout, slightly different inclusions. If Banksia is not available for the dates you want, check the Waratah page)

Wood Levy:
For a carbon POSITIVE, truly green stay we now have a wood levy. It's $10 per night, payable as you use, in your cottage. Your wood is sourced from already fallen wood in western NSW, and is paid for by Bunjaree out of your tariff; the wood levy helps pay for some extra splitting, but mostly goes to the local conservation society for a replanting and regeneration project in the Capertee Valley (near Lithgow). This means more trees are planted, and erosion prevented, and habitats provided than are destroyed in the wood you burn and the emissions from it.
