Guest Reviews
- Isabella (9/5): -
- Mel (9/5): Would recommend to anyone!!! - We loved the location, aspect, privacy, design of the dwelling, and hot tub on the deck! As well as the courtesy bottle of wine, platter, and breaky were awesome! The bacon, eggs, and bread were delicious š
Absolutely loved the complimentary bath robes, and the bed, mattress, and pullows were fabulous!
We had an amazing weekend with the outside under cover area and bbq cooking local produce. -WiFi was not great, particularly with the rainy weather, and the Apple Play remote didn't work.
There was quite a bit of rat faeces on the deck, which we do understand having a rural property.

- Derek (9/5): Very enjoyable and lovely host. - Breakfast was basic but ingredients were fresh and tasty.

- Keith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cate (10/5): Peaceful haven. - Peaceful haven with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The deck looks out to a private vista, and the outdoor spa is a luxurious addition. Agnes, our host, was very hospitable.
Would definitely return. The only thing is there was no washing machine or dryer.

- Craig (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sally (10/5): A highlight of our Eastern Australia tour. - Great little cottage in a fantastic location, loved watching the wallabies and numerous birds in the garden. Agnes was very attentive and we loved the wine, snacks and breakfast food she left. The beautiful Dorrigo Park was a short drive away. Would definitely recommend. Nothing. It was fabulous.
- Prashnav (9/5): Was best 2 days of my vacation . - Peace place to relax and spend time in the lap of nature Bushes are so near to the hot tub, fear of snakes or flies and ants.
- Mark (8/5): Fantastic location in the bush away from the hustle and bustle yet still close to everything ! - Generous breakfast hamper supply for the first day of your stay. Fabulous peaceful location yet accessible to Bellingen and Waterfall Way. We really loved the outdoor spa bath! We couldn't find an iron...but also didn't ask for one.
- Pat (10/5): A beautiful place to unwind in a fabulous setting. - Breakfast and welcome drink and snacks. The layout was very elegant. The scenery and wildlife were a huge bonus. As I am elderly I was a little nervous in the bathroom as there was no handle or bar to hold on to in the shower. But this was only because of my age. Anyone else would not have had a problem.
- Mahdi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jason (7/5): Good -
- Patricia (9/5): Superb - Beautiful cabin - remote enough to rejuvenate, but close enough to get quality pizza delivered to our door! Woke up to wallabies boxing in the yard and a red parrot watching us eat breakfast. Nicely sized rooms with good air conditioning. The breakfast hamper of eggs, bacon, juice, bread for toast allowed me to make hot, fresh breakfast each morning of our stay. On site DVDs were fun, and Netflix satisfied the need to 'veg out' after a long day. The night sky is amazing. Be aware that cell phone coverage is a challenge. I could order out pizza by standing in the driveway. Internet was fine. For those of us with multiple electronic devices, it would be nice to have a power strip, given the limited number of direct outlets.
- Matt (10/5): Beautiful relaxing and peaceful weekend away - Location was amazing and beautiful!! Agnes was an absolute delight to speak with and made us feel extremely welcome.
- Raelene (10/5): A beautiful place to unwind and relax. - It was easy to love everything about the property! It is in a beautiful position, it is quiet and private and peaceful, it is stylish and comfortable.
It has points of difference- like the outside spa bath and the full length window in the bathroom. It is a quirky, interesting and unique place to stay. The breakfast and provisions provided were very thoughtful and most welcome. Agnes was the best host I think we have come across in our travels!
