Independent in Marshdale from AU$139

"Very quiet area and certainly good for unwinding. The walk from the parking area to the house was a challenge for an older person with no pathway, and clumpy grass patches on heavily pitted soil were difficult to negotiate in the dark. The kitchen was well equipped and the host kindly provided breakfast supplies. It was the most comfortable bed I have slept in for a long time and a large king size. The bathroom is tiny and lacks enough vanity space to hold toilet bag and clean clothes, or hooks for hanging towels. The bedroom is large with a massive walk-in robe but would benefit from some luggage racks to put suitcases on, rather than the floor. It's a short drive to the nearby Central Hotel at Stroud where we had a great meal and good entertainment. Best of luck to Tracey for future hosting. Her place is a well situated stop just off the Pacific Highway and only a few hours short of Sydney."

"Great little well-run hotel in beautiful Dungog. The staff/managers were accomodating and it was simply a clean, pleasant and satisfying stay. Recommended"

"Clean and tidy room. Great stopover location. Will stay again."

"Overall a very nice place to stay. It was clean and comfortable. Shower was awesome Instant hot water. Although the hand basin was a tad on the small side. But again overall the bathroom was clean We stayed there for 2 nights, which would be enough as the kitchen facilities is basic with a small fridge. Karuah is a wonderful place to visit "

"Great house for the whole family to get together for a relaxing weekend. Loads of space for us all to lounge or dine and a peaceful location"

"Modern, clean and staff exceptional. Could have a microwave to heat food, but all up a lovely place to stay if you want quietness and tranquility."

"10/10 all round! Cleanliness was outstanding! I will be recommending this place to anyone who asks. Keep up the good work! One word HEAVEN "

"While the front of the property is unassuming, the inside is spacious and the view is fantastic. Easy check in, and a nice grassy area behind to string up the hammock and read a book. Only suggestion would be to provide additional door stoppers for the beds as they roll very easily on the tile! Doggo and I had a great time, will certainly use this facility again. "

"We stay there every year and have always been satified"
