Independent in Barrington Tops from AU$309

"Everything was excellent. We had a nice time ."

"Exactly what we needed, and really wish we'd had a whole week. It was peaceful, comfortable, with everything you'd need. We didn't realise there was even coffee to try the espresso machine! Next time... Brought my parents here as we'd stayed at the old Barrington Guest House when I was a kid. Still a beautiful area. We did the Blue Gum Track, and a whole lot of bird-watching, even seeing lyrebirds for the first time. Dungog is worth a visit - a small community-focused town. Hopefully we'll be back soon!"

"Wonderful location, perfectly quiet and serene, completely off the grid, just what our family needed to switch off and disconnect from the business that is life. The house had all the basic necessities as well as what looked like some carefully curated pieces of furniture and pieces or art which added to the cosy ambience. Communication with the host was very straight forward. We would happily visit again."

"Was ideal for our family getaway. The house had everything we could have hoped for. A/c was lovely on the hot days, the fire pit was fabulous at night to sit around and toast marshmallows and chat. The beds and linen were clean and comfy. The outdoor lounge was lovely for nibbles and wine of an afternoon. It was perfect. Thank you!"

"Such a beautiful, relaxing gorgeous getaway, everything and more than it promised. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to return someday soon "

"I would have stayed a week if I could have! More time to enjoy more cups of tea on the deck with the sound of birdsong and the gently flowing river below. This place is idyllic. Feels like the most secluded, peaceful place, but 5 minutes drive from the nearest pub or bakery. The owners were helpfully responsive to my email enquiry before our stay, but left us alone to enjoy the experience when we were there. The cottages are well away from the house and the garden is designed so that the cottages are fairly private from each other. "

"Treetops Cabin was a wonderful comfortable home for our young family for a disconnected weekend away - with stunning bush walks at the doorstep, visits from colorful parrots at the verandah, comfy beds, a warm pellet heater fireplace, tennis courts, games and DVDs aplenty - we will be back!"

"It was a lovely property with great, welcoming hosts. Perfect for a few days to get away from civilization and experience a small taste of the real Australia. Cosy, comfortable living quarters on a beautiful, riverside property. "

"Sure! Here's a shorter version of the review:---A Secret Place to Slow Down lives up to its name, quiet, cozy, and beautifully set in nature. The space was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly relaxing. Close enough to Gloucester’s attractions but tucked away enough to truly unplug. The hosts were kind and attentive. A true hidden gem, we can’t wait to return!"
