Winter at Cascade Springs: Slow moments, deep rest

When the air turns crisp and the light turns golden, Cascade Springs becomes a place of deep exhale — where time stretches and nature slows. Tucked between open paddocks and ancient rainforest, winter here invites you to reset, reconnect, and indulge in life’s quieter pleasures.

Here are five soul-nourishing experiences to enjoy during the cooler months:

1. Light the fire pit

As evening settles in, gather around the fire pit with a glass of red or a warm mug in hand. Toast marshmallows, share stories, and let the cool mountain air meet the warmth of glowing embers. It’s the simplest winter ritual — and one of the most memorable.

2. Bathe beneath the sky

There’s nothing quite like a steaming outdoor bath on a cool winter afternoon. Our freestanding tubs, set privately beside your cabin, invite long soaks with valley views, fresh air, and quiet all around.

3. Wander the paddocks to the creek

Step out through the paddocks and make your way down to the creek. There’s no formal path — just open space, native trees, and the calming sound of water nearby. Rug up, breathe deeply, and let nature set the pace.

4. Walk or cycle along Urliup Road

Bring your bike or enjoy a peaceful stroll along Urliup Road, the quiet, scenic road that borders the property. With views of surrounding farmland and tree-lined hills, it’s a beautiful way to start your morning or wind down your afternoon.

5. Dine fireside at Potager

Just 20 minutes away, Potager – A Kitchen Garden is a must-visit in winter. Enjoy a long lunch or fireside dinner with seasonal produce, warm hospitality, and sweeping views to the coast. It’s relaxed, refined, and deeply satisfying.

Bonus: Coastal adventures

Balance your peaceful retreat with a little awe and adventure:
– Beach horse riding with Devinequine offers unforgettable moments on the sand, with ocean views and the wind in your hair.
– Whale watching or swimming with whales through Tweed Coast Dive Charters is a rare and moving experience — the kind you’ll talk about for years.

Whether resting or roaming, winter slows you down

At Cascade Springs, winter is your invitation to do less, feel more, and reconnect with nature’s rhythm. From slow mornings to glowing nights, you’ll find comfort in every detail — and freedom in every choice.
