Independent in Wards River from AU$139

"We arrived to a warm welcome around 5.45pm. So great that the office was still open. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. A really great place to stay between Port Macquarie and Newcastle "

"Clean, cozy."

"We had a lovely time. The accommodation was neat and tidy with true country charm. The pristine views of the surrounding rolling hills provided a truly spectacular escape. Our host, Bev was also very responsive and lovely. "

"A great place to unwind, take it easy and recharge the batteries. Had everything needed for a great relaxing stay."

"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. "

"I stayed with my parents and my daughters and we had a lovely time. The property was fabulous and peaceful, with a very well equipped kitchen & was well looked after, clean & warm. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of space. Clyde & Casey were very cute and the fire pit outside was a highlight for the kids. Elsa was a very helpful host & we would happily stay again. "

"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!"

"Fantastic accommodation within a short drive of Gloucester. Set on the banks of the river you feel like you are miles from anywhere. Cottage is well appointed and a thoroughly enjoyable place to stay. Would highly recommend this property "

"Very accommodating staff. At this stage I've had to stay 2 more nights than anticipated due to flooding in the area. Room is clean Bathroom is good. Food is absolutely delicious. Well done to all involved"
