Guest Reviews
- Colin (10/5): - Wonderful location close to town. Didn’t have time to stay longer.
- Smith (8/5): Great location and very peaceful - Fantastic location! The cottage is well positioned on the property with lots of privacy and an amazing outlook over the river. We loved sitting on the deck and listening to the wildlife, it was very peaceful. The gardens and paddocks are beautifully maintained and all in all the entrance and drive in is lovely. I can see that it was once a luxury cottage but I think the upkeep and maintenance of the cottage we stayed in has been let go and it could do with some upgrades to meet the luxury standard they promote. Better access to the waters edge would be ideal, although the stairs are very helpful to get close, no easy access once you're down there.
- Amber (8/5): Amazing relaxing place to get away. Would come back again for sure - Amazing location and nice and quiet Privacy between the cabins Kitchen tap and the bathroom tap! Needed a good clean
- Ashleigh (10/5): -
- Helen (8/5): -
- MICHAEL (9/5): Met all expectations in us seeking a quiet weekend away. - Scenic peaceful location with the balcony overlooking the river. Nil
- Robyn (10/5): Magical and nature immersion with comfy beds. - Our family LOVED our stay, we felt immersed in nature and swam for hours in the river and getting up early and heading to the river at dusk paid off as we had close up encounters with a real platypus - was so special. We will be coming back!
- Stephen (10/5): Delightful. - It was perfect to explore locally.
- Marlena (10/5): -
- Michele (10/5): - I would have stayed a week if I could have! More time to enjoy more cups of tea on the deck with the sound of birdsong and the gently flowing river below. This place is idyllic. Feels like the most secluded, peaceful place, but 5 minutes drive from the nearest pub or bakery. The owners were helpfully responsive to my email enquiry before our stay, but left us alone to enjoy the experience when we were there. The cottages are well away from the house and the garden is designed so that the cottages are fairly private from each other.

- mark (10/5): - Fantastic accommodation within a short drive of Gloucester. Set on the banks of the river you feel like you are miles from anywhere. Cottage is well appointed and a thoroughly enjoyable place to stay. Would highly recommend this property
- Kristin (7/5): Good - The beautiful location in the country overlooking the river, peaceful and quiet. The single beds were terribly uncomfortable and really took the shine off an otherwise perfect weekend. We had adults sleeping in them - perhaps kids wouldn’t notice?
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional - Very quiet at night, very nice view and convenient location to the town. The cabins themselves are very nice. After the floods, all national parks are closed, and I was told by Parks staff that they will be for months. A bit of heads up would have been nice as there wasn't really anything to do.
- Rachel (10/5): Tranquil, restful, peaceful, relaxing. - Loved the peace and tranquility. Loved the big sun lit deck. Loved swimming in the river, seeing platypus swimming in the river. The cows were so cute and inquisitive. The bed was very very comfortable. The lounge was lovely, the internet was better than expected for being a bit isolated. The kitchen amenities were fantastic especially the coffee machine and dishwasher. It was 4km from town which wouldn’t have been a problem if it wasn’t raining and if we had a car. There was a fair bit of mould in the shower and around the kitchen sink, not the owners problem just a note for the cleaning lady.
- Jade (9/5): Superb -
- Allyson (9/5): We will be back! - Warm, clean, comfortable, convenient location to town and activities. Nothing was a problem for Paul. More hanging racks needed for towels. Even clothes drying rack to put on verandah. We had a few rainy days.
- Lawson (8/5): Peaceful, relaxing and therapeutic - Such a beautiful location. Very peaceful. Loved hearing the water flowing down the river, hearing and seeing the birds, and sitting on the verandah that has gorgeous native trees and shrubs all around. The beds were comfortable and the location is only a few kms out of Gloucester.
- Virginia (10/5): Loved this property. - Perfect spot to unwind in a cute little cabin with a wonderful deck and lovely views of the river and countryside. About a 5 minute drive from Gloucester and maybe an hour from Barrington Tops.
- Kristy (10/5): We will be back - Peaceful and relaxing

- Keith (10/5): Exceptional - Great place for families. The river is pretty shallow so not great for swimming or fishing but good for kayaks. Great communal fire pit and nice location.
- Steven (10/5): Great cottages at Gloucester - Loved the location beside the river. So many birds and could see the platypus playing. I liked the location just out of town but not too far away. Cottage very clean. Awesome. We will be coming back and staying here 100% Nothing
- Tina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (8/5): Very good -
- Andrew (9/5): We will return. - Outstanding. We both love cabins in beautiful locations and this did not disappoint. It honestly felt like a staying at a country club. Magnificent location... easy access to town. Extremely clean and well maintained cabin with all the bits and pieces needed to cook and have a wonderful time. You will not be disappointed! We plan on going back. 😁 P.S. The local butcher in town has magnificent meat. Make the effort and buy there instead of the grocery store. We should have booked a few more nights. So relaxing the Gloucester region.
- Mathias (9/5): Superb -

- Lorene (10/5): - Barrington Hide-away Cottage was perfect for our stay. Clean and cosy, peaceful, abundant birdlife from our verandah and, the best for us, spotting a platypus in the river! Thank you Paul and Sue.
- Sharelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kym (10/5): Beautiful and serene. - Clean tidy and comfortable. Close to town and sights. Kitchen was basic. Utensils old. Needed to request a sharp know and steak knives. Cups chipped.
- Derek (9/5): Lovely and peaceful, great surroundings. Cabin was nice and cosy. - Peace and quite. No one bothering us. A bit steep walking down to the river. Bbq control a bit suspect.
- Cat (10/5): A cosy cottage with a view worth painting. - This spacious, light, and comfy cottage is brilliantly situated on the banks of the Barrington River. The views up and down the River are delightful and the varied bird life a constant pleasure. We saw egrets, a hawk, ducks, Galahs, honeyeaters, swifts, rosellas, moorhens, fairy wrens and some exquisite tiny thornbills (?finches?). All the comforts of home plus a broad and well-equipped deck overlooking the river, perfect for watching the birds and painting the view. Our hosts were friendly, kind and helpful. It would have been magic to see the Platypus but we realise they are shy creatures. We wish we had the time to stay another week.
- Skye (10/5): Exceptional - we had a lovley stay here, the morning sun on the Verandah was lovley in the mornings, the Fire Pit was great. the Kitchen had everything you need, and the Air con was a bonus in the cold mornings. Beds we very comfortable.
- Doreen (9/5): Superb - The peace and beautiful outlook and surrounds
- Nyla (9/5): Cute hut at a great location with all facilities - This property offers a huge value for money. The location was great, anyone who prefers privacy and peace would love this hut. It is nicely tucked away in the farm but still at a mere 10 minute drive to the town cafes and kids playgrounds. Sue was very kind to turn the heating on for us before we arrived, and ensured we had an easy checkout. The kitchen was well equipped to cook a full meal, and the dishwasher was a bonus. Everything was clean and tidy across the hut. Bedding was also very comfortable. Internet and mobile reception was also great. We also received a free jar of fresh honey and I must say - I have never tasted anything as good before! Just a friendly suggestion to the owners to maybe replace the bathroom sink with a bigger one, I found the tiny sink made water go all over the floor every time someone used it.
- Debra (9/5): Superb -
- Corina (10/5): Located on the banks of Barrington river, this private, cosy cottage surrounded by magnificent natural beauty - Private, clean, central to town, beautiful views
- Gregory (8/5): Very good -
- Duncan (8/5): Very good -
- Denise (9/5): Lovely comfortable cottage in a peaceful location. - Lovely peaceful location. Very comfortable cottage. Well equipped and very clean.
- Maddie (10/5): A must go place! - One of my new found favourite places! The serenity of the area was just perfect for a weekend getaway. The balcony overlooks stunning views of the river and mountains in the distance. The cabin was so roomy and had everything you need for an easy stay. My partner and I cannot wait to go back!
- Jo (10/5): comfortable and relaxing - the cottages were beautiful. the grounds were amazing na
- Fiona (8/5): Very comfortable in a beautiful country setting - Lovely location, beautiful surroundings near river and bird life. Quiet, peaceful and picturesque. Bonfire was an added bonus for roasting marshmallows. Comfortable and well equipped. Shower screen got stuck and felt like it might break. Sheer curtains behind the full block out ones in bedrooms would be great for letting in natural light without letting people from the outside look in. Otherwise no issues.
- Sharon (10/5): Great getaway - Beautiful location right on the river,the cabins are spaced nicely so you have your privacy, loved the 🐄 so peaceful 😊
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Margaret (9/5): Very comfortable. - location
- Rod (9/5): Superb -
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Liza (10/5): Beautiful, comfortable and relaxing stay. We’ll definitely be back again! - The experience of sitting on the veranda and looking out into nature, the beautiful river, the trees and the sweet wildlife - so beautiful and memorable. Especially the lovely clean and comfortable cottage, perfect location and everything you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon. Next time we’ll make sure to bring our camping chairs as the chairs on the veranda were more for dining than lounging, but not a big deal.
- Kristianne (8/5): Peaceful - Size of the cottage and the surrounding nature, great if you just wanted to stay and relax. Closeness of the cabins meant we could hear neighbours and path to river and access not suitable to use my kayak unfortunately
- Elizabeth (9/5): beautiful cottage in an amazing scenic spot - Beautiful spot above the river with a lovely wildflower garden and local birds. Appreciated the homely touches and the honey gift. NA
- Anonymous (10/5): One of the most relaxing weekends I’ve had for years - very tranquil it was private
- Sophie (7/5): Good -
- Emma (9/5): In the comfort of nature - The location is amazing - saw plenty of platypi early in the morning; went swimming in the river in the 2 recommended locations; air con worked so well and very much needed! We did lots of walking and driving so the cottage was a welcome home away from home. Used the BBQ and the kitchen had all we needed. Comfortable bed. Nice touches such as honey from their bees, lovely lotions in the bathroom, and many more, very homely and thoughtful. The birdlife is amazing - there was always something happening in nature from the deck. Could be as comfortable or active as you liked but nice to be amongst nature and the peacefulness. Will definitely be back - a lot more exploring to do! WiFi was very intermittent - nice if you want to switch off but tricky when needing to work or wanting to watch the Aust Open! The ONLY thing missing which isn't a disaster, was a clothes drying rack for after swimming in the river but the deck railing served us well enough.
- Ray (8/5): Very good -
- Janette (10/5): Exceptional - This was one of four cottages looking over the river, it was very private and quiet, the views and birdlife were amazing, only a few mins in to town and great bushwalking within 15mins. The cottages are a good size, very well appointed, very clean, and surrounded by lovely gardens. I was very sad to leave.
- Isis (10/5): - Beautiful, clean, quiet and comfortable - had a wonderful stay.
- Clair (10/5): Exceeded our expectations in all ways - Location was exquisite with a sublime view Totally private Quiet Very clean and comfortable Close to town and lots to do Host helpful and most accommodating Very well maintained and everything we needed provided Excellent value for money Great Wi-Fi Excellent choice of Netflix Prime Stan Nothing just wanted to stay longer

The cottage was first class with all the amenities you may need including full kitchen, BBQ and deck overlooking the river. We saw the resident platypus several times during our visit. Great location for touring the Barrington and Gloucester tops area. We would definitely stay again.
- Austin (10/5): What an oasis of beauty and calm! I could stay on that porch forever! I will definitely go back! - Outstanding
