Barrington Tops Retreat at Aussie Ark’s Quoll’s Cottage

Set deep within the wild heart of Barrington Tops National Park, Aussie Ark’s Quoll’s Cottage offers a rare chance to disconnect and settle into nature’s rhythm without sacrificing comfort. Located just 11 kilometers from the Aussie Ark wildlife sanctuary near Tomalla, New South Wales, this 2-bedroom mountain retreat stands out as a practical and inviting base for families, couples, or small groups seeking a multi-day getaway. Known for its ancient Gondwana rainforest, rugged escarpments, and diverse wildlife, Barrington Tops provides a striking backdrop, with Quoll’s Cottage placing you steps away from this natural playground.

The cottage’s design balances rustic charm and modern convenience. Inside, guests find a fully equipped kitchen, tea and coffee facilities, and a warming fireplace to unwind beside after days spent hiking nearby trails or visiting Aussie Ark’s conservation efforts. Sleeping up to eight guests comfortably in two bedrooms—each featuring a double bed and bunk beds—the cabin accommodates larger groups wanting to immerse themselves in the mountain’s solitude without feeling isolated.

Outside, the BBQ facilities offer an al fresco dining option to enjoy the surrounding scenery, where eucalypts and native wildflowers dominate the landscape. Wildlife sightings here could include wallabies and various bird species, with the elusive northern quoll—an endangered marsupial Aussie Ark actively protects—adding a unique conservation connection to your stay. Barrington Tops was declared a national park in 1969 and remains a vital refuge for species rare elsewhere.

Quoll’s Cottage serves as a gateway to Barrington Tops’ many outdoor activities—whether that’s day hikes through rainforests, bushwalking to nearby waterfalls, or quiet mornings with a book on the deck amid crisp mountain air. This blend of comfort, accessibility, and proximity to both wild landscapes and conservation education makes Aussie Ark’s offering a standout among regional retreats, ideal for those eager to absorb the outdoors with a practical edge and family-friendly vibe.
