Loved the location, had no connection with management while staying or after our stay. It all worked well, and it was great with all its facilities. The only downside was the torrential rain and the spouting that hadn’t been cleared, so loading the car was like walking through a waterfall.

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.

Disliked: Check-in
If you're planning to stay here, I would recommend booking directly through the host rather than through Wotif, as it appears the host is not partnered with them. Booking through Wotif meant communication with the host was limited, which led to a few issues. For example, I wasn't informed that items such as firewood and milk needed to be requested in advance, so they weren't available on arrival. There was also an issue with the hot water, although the host responded promptly and had it fixed the following day. I would recommend avoiding Cabin 9 if possible, as the spa bath has a hole that has been patched with silicone and due to its position, it appeared difficult to keep clean. Unfortunately, the weekend wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped due to several issues, many of which stemmed from booking through Wotif rather than directly with the host. I would also suggest that the property's advertising be updated to better reflect the current facilities. For example, the hammocks shown in the listing are no longer available, which I only discovered after arriving. On a positive note, the views were beautiful, and the property was peaceful and quiet. As with many rural locations, there are a lot of mosquitoes year-round, so it's worth bringing insect repellent and planning accordingly.

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.
