You can't beat the kangaroos visiting in front of the property in the early evening!
AustraliaI liked spa, rooms all clean and you had all the nick nacks we needed. Fire pit was great, shampoo smelt great was quiet place Very secluded
AustraliaThe key was in the door and everything as expected. Lovely surroundings very quiet and peaceful
AustraliaThe property was clean, newly furnished & with exceptionally comfortable beds! The location was idyllic with beautiful surrounds & spaced far enough away from neighbouring cottages. Would thoroughly recommend & go back again for another stay.
AustraliaA little remote. Closest Tien 23 k away- dung of.., place is v nicely done up with decor and amenities. Bed comfortable- has AC as well as wood fire place. Kitchen well equipped! Bathroom with spa bath big enough for 2. Don’t get there when it is dark as the single lane road on to the 20 lots off Chichester dam road was a little ‘scary’ ... but all good after. Kangaroos 4 of them with a Joey keeps visiting us at dusk n fawn. Poor ph reception in our cottage 1 but out on the driveway is ok
AustraliaLovely country location surrounded by national park. Lots of wildlife. Quiet yet close enough to Dungog for everything you need (cafes, shops etc) . lovely pool
AustraliaFabulous, well appointed cottage in a beautiful natural setting. The perfect getaway for friends and family. The cottage was clean, with comfortable beds and sofa's. Exactly what we were hoping for and afternoon drinks on the beautiful deck was a delight!
AustraliaGreat location, amenities were fabulous. Cabin was modern and well equipped. Comfy beds!
AustraliaGreat property in a fab location. The photos don’t do it justice actually. Well equipped, lovely towels and linen, more spacious than the photos seem. We will visit again.
