A nice place for weekend escape and long holidays. Short drive to Coffs Harbour town centre and other local attractions. Clean room with excellent valley and mountain views. Pet and kids friendly environment including a swimming pool and BBQ area, water ponds, creeks, cows to explore during the stay. Owner is nice and very helpful.

Beautiful stay, lovely cabins with peaceful surroundings. Will need to bring a cooking pan for next time haha. Very clean, neat and tidy. Probably recommend more towels in the bathroom. Lovely owners helping keep your stay relaxed and comfortable. Amazing amenities, dvd movies, books and games. Lots to do and keep entertained while close to many places to explore close by. Would go there again. Definitely a wonderful place to stay and take a little holiday.

A beautiful country retreat nestled in the Coffs hinterland.Secluded and the serenity is incredible if you just want to escape life's pressures.The hosts are lovely people and are there if needed but stay hidden otherwise to give you privacy.A lot of thought has gone into making the cabins an individual themed experience.

There was no-one at the property to let me into my cabin (6:00pm). All attempts to contact the hotel were futile so I had to leave and find alternative accommodation. It took them nearly 24 hours at acknowledge the problem. For a business that is in the service department, there was none. Steer well clear of this amateurish set up.
