The Southwestern coast of Ireland is splintered by the sea; harbours and bays reach into the mountains, fingers of water interlaced with the land. There is a place where the lines of salt become blurred, where two chattering rivers that swell with the rain converge at the shoreline, where shadowed canopies of ancient oak trees murmur with the wind.
Dromgarriff Rainforest stands at the mouth of Bantry Bay, cradled by the carved hills. One of the last temperate rainforests in Ireland, Dromgarriff Rainforest offers an extraordinary glimpse into the Irish wilderness, that perennial enigma that has been canvas to the poets and painters and the beholders of the land. A rainforest that defies expectation; where foxes prowl and bats flit through the darkness, where mussels are exposed to the sun as the tide retreats, where the sound of a rushing waterfall is absorbed by the moss that blankets the ground.
Set within the close-growing trees are five houses, each situated in its own alcove of the property. With expansive windows and wood-burning fireplaces, these houses are a unique place to gather, to grow, and to engage with the gentle beauty of the land.
