"Treetops was the perfect retreat for our family of four. Set high amongst the trees, the birdlife brought a sense of endless entertainment and peaceful tranquility. The cabin is cosy and tastefully furnished with functional kitchen and great outdoor area with bbq. More than suited our needs. Host is fantastic with clear directions and suggested activities. Highly recommended holiday escape."

"The house is huge, the kitchen is fully stocked. There is a huge TV and 2 large leather lounges. The house is right next to the sheep paddock and there were twin 3 day old lambs that were absolutely gorgeous. We were disappointed to only have one interaction with the farm animals (we hoped for morning and night daily as per the guest information) but we do understand it was a busy long weekend and we have to fit in with the owners. Kylee was lovely when she met us and we helped to feed horses, chickens and sheep. We got to meet Cruz the dog who was gorgeous.We would recommend Camelot if you are in the area."

"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!"

"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."
