Independent in Deer Vale from AU$212

"The resort was very clean and tidy. The room was well appointed and bed was very comfortable. Plenty of room to spread-out. The supplied continental breakfast was ok but the bread for toasting was very dry and stale. The outside grounds were very well kept and a credit to the ground's keeper. The property is out of town and has lovely views. I would happily stay again."

"We absolutely loved the beautiful views of rolling hills and farms. So relaxing. Despite being off the grid, it had all the amenities, nothing was missing. Fireplace was amazing! Definitely coming back again. "

"The Villa at Lombok on Waterfall was set in a peaceful location overlooking rolling farmland. The villa was spacious, and the fireplace was perfect for keeping warm during the cold nights and mornings. Jill was informative before the stay to ensure I had a trouble-free arrival."

"Fernridge cottage is perfect in every way a cottage should be! Warm, cosy and just a pleasure to stay in! Judy is great, the small homely touches really make you feel welcome!We will be staying again! "

"A true retreat indeed. We thoroughly enjoyed the location, cosy fire, amazing views, homely furnishings, games, musical instruments and books and hope to return again soon!"

"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."
