We were looking for a retreat and this couldn’t have been better. The cabin overlooked Bangalow countryside and views were incredible. It was great to have dedicated parking available, and while we were in contact with the host didn’t see anyone for days. Just what was needed. Francesca is a great host who looked after us while we were there. Above and beyond expectations she helped us find and book dinner reservations (during Easter) from her contacts, and also posted washbags we forgot to pack after we left. We will be back!

Darren United Kingdom

Friendly host and easy checkin. Francescas was very attentive and was easy to communicate with. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Massages are highly recommended!

Danielle Australia

Loved the big comfy bed, big bathroom, big spa bath and great views. The kitchenette in our suite was handy. The Wi fi was excellent. We loved the massages and the nature walks around the property

Santi Australia

The view was amazing.. especially at night so many stars. The accommodation was very clean and very comfortable. And our hostess made our break a very enjoyable one. We will definitely be going back for a very relaxing break

Francesca is just the loveliest host! The views! Oh my goodness, the views!

Beautiful aspect, bed great, lovely incidentals but other furniture a tad tired

Robert Australia

It was quiet except for the sounds of the wind and the birds. Francesca was friendly and could recommend where to go and what to do

Daniel Australia

Francesca was a fantastic host! She gave us some great restaurant advice. She was incredibly welcoming and very helpful. We were fortunate enough to have amazing weather so we could make use of the great outdoor areas on the premises. I would highly recommend staying here, we will definitely come back again.
