"Great views"

"Peaceful and tranquil very well set up easy access and if anyone's thinking about living off grid this is the place to experience it first hand. Loved the planting and the caring for the environment attitude, enjoyed seeing cows close up. Comfortable beds definitely will be staying again"

"We loved everything about this property. "

"We loved our stay! It is quiet and surrounded by nature. Close to Dorrigo National Park which is stunning!"

"Outstanding accommodation to unwind, listen to the calves, kookaburras and watch the stars. Lisa is a superb host and the attention to detail in every aspect is catered for We will be returning to explore more of this wonderful region."

"The house is lovely, exactly as listed. Unfortunately, once you arrive there are some additional rules and challenges that are not disclosed on the booking site. The home has signs posted throughout about keeping noise to a minimum, which we noted but didnt think much about. As a group of four adults in our fifties and a 12 year old, we assumed normal conversation and use would be fine.... We had a relaxing swim in the pool, took in the view and a BBQ. Unfortunately at 9:35pm, the next door neighbour shouted over the fence about a "curfew on the back verandah" after 9:30pm. This is nowhere in the listing, nor is it in the rather extensive "manual" left by the home owner. When I queried with the home owner, he told us just to comply so everyone was happy - except we, as the people who had rented the property - were not happy. We were not making excessive noise, merely after dinner chat on the balcony looking at the view, and the ongoing "observation" by the neighbour was oppressive and really ruined our stay. Combined with the same neighbour starting his lawn mower at 7:30am (which is apparently fine), strange instructions about not parking on the public street and various other things, we found the intrusion very unwelcome.As per the caption - great house and location, but we will not be staying again, and if you are a family or even just a couple of adults wanting to have a relaxing weekend with friends (not partying), I would not recommend this property."

"The villa was lovely, well appointed and clean. The bed and furnishings very comfortable and the view was spectacular and ever changing. Fabulous host is a bonus too. The area was very beautiful and we loved our stay. "
