Who We Are
Tucked beneath the Nightcap Range on a working permaculture farm, Contained in Nimbin offers a rare blend of comfort, calm, and eco-conscious design. Our award-winning, eco-certified cabins sit alongside Goolmangar Creek, where guests can fossick, birdwatch, or swim in secluded waterholes. Inside, you’ll find complimentary WiFi and streaming, locally handcrafted furniture, and a fully equipped kitchen and living space. Each cabin features a private ensuite and climate control for year-round comfort.
Step onto your hardwood deck for alfresco dining on the gas BBQ, soak in the mountain views, and listen to native bird calls. Each cabin also includes a sculptural firepit for cosy evenings under the stars. With self check-in, secure off-road parking, and thoughtful touches throughout, our accommodation invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is the foundation of everything we do. Our two eco-certified cabins, built from recycled shipping containers, run on solar power and solar hot water, use filtered rainwater, and are surrounded by native plantings that support local wildlife. Wastewater is treated naturally onsite through reed beds and absorption trenches, creating a closed-loop system that protects Goolmangar Creek.
Key initiatives:
-
Solar power and solar hot water systems
-
Closed-loop greywater treatment supporting 350m of creekbank regeneration
-
Over 1,500 native trees planted, including 1,000 in our riparian zone

Nesting boxes for microbats, kookaburras, and parrots
-
Comprehensive waste management with composting, recycling, and a 50% bin reduction
