Kingston, Blue Mountains & the Southeast Coast
This popular guesthouse sits next to the hamlet of Red Light, surrounded by nature and with lovely views. Rooms are charming if simple, but the welcome is a warm one. Birdwatching and guides for hiking can be arranged, or chill out in a hammock or in the terrace tiki bar that hangs over a burbling river.
If you come by public transport and get dropped on the road, note that it's a 15-minute walk along the rough track to the main entrance.
