Perfect getaway with a dog
Beautifully renovated house above the remote valley. Fenced compound of three buildings was perfect for our dog who ran himself into the ground and also enjoyed the company of the owner’s dog.

Back to the bush with all modern days comfort
Gorgeous house with so many quirky , personal touches. Multiple places to sit outdoors, all equally beautiful, so hard to choose. Beds are super comfortable, kitchen well equiped and a dishwasher as well! We loved the absolute peace and quiet and beautiful bush outlook. The weather was very hot,so,we didn’t do much walking, but multiple walks available straight from your back and front door. Ideal for dogs as well

Valley views
Our stay at valley view was absolutely amazing. The stone cottage and amenities were both rustic and luxurious! The bed was so comfortable, the kitchen so well equipped. The wood and art work, the garden, the views and the attention to detail in every aspect was faultless. Immaculate A beautiful slow combustion fire inside and a stone fire pit outside The internet was also very good. Much better than nbn etc Beautiful walks and scenery. Peaceful and private We would so love to stay there again and would highly recommend it

Solitude and comfort
Everything about this property is amazing!! The hosts Sam and Louis, have thought of everything you need to experience all the comforts of home, in a remote location experiencing the best of the Australian outdoors. The house is a mixture of creativity, old style design and modern day necessaties to give you the feel of your own private home away from home. Privacy from the surrounding wilderness is guaranteed. The variety of trees and plants surrounding the house is abundant, as is the various bird sounds and wildlife in the area. ( keep your camera handy) In warm weather you have the beautiful streams and waterholes nearby, with walks and short drives a plenty. The cascade walk and picnic spot provide you with a private sanctuary in rainforest conditions, and you even have a Yoga/reading room, with outdoor deck overlooking an outdoor fireplace. So many options for you to relax, exercise and enjoy the serenity of the Australian Bush. Sam provided us with home cooked bread, fresh vegetables and a cheery meet and greet and farewell. Louis had very entertaining stories about the property and the adventures they have had since moving to the area. Overall, I would like to return during winter, to experience to location in the colder months. It has comfortable beds, a fireplace, great hot water, fully equiped kitchen, with every accessory you'll need. (inc- a five burner BBQ outside) I'd also highly recommend 'Valley Views' to international and Interstate guests , who are looking for the authentic Australian Bush experience. The hosts are high quality people, that stand ready to inform and guide you and make your trip one to remember. That was one of the most relaxing weeks of my life. Thankyou. P.S. This is a dog friendly location!! My rescue greyhound 'Joyce' had a large fenced area, to roam and explore around the house. the comfortable cool floorboards in the house allowed her to strecth out and relax. 'Felix' the wonderdog lives with Sam and Louis, and will join you to make sure your dog is happy and knows where all the good tracks are. 5 Stars allround!!

Amazing place to stay
This was one of our all time favourite stays. The location was really serene and picturesque while the property itself was really cool - super comfortable, well appointed and so interesting! The owners have put a lot of effort into the fine details and they were really helpful and communicated well. We enjoyed the various local walks, lookouts and river streams and we were also able to venture out to the coast quite easily on one of our days. Definitely recommending this accommodation to friends and family.

A delightful cottage on a farm. Incredibly quiet and a great place to get away and decompress. Highly recommended. The covered decking is a truly wonderful place to sit and enjoy the beautiful calls of lyre and currawongs. Wonderful river nearby for those looking to cast a line.

Idyllic country retreat
Lovely property owned by lovely people. They have thought of everything! I stayed with my dog & he loved it. Generous fenced yard meant I didn't have to worry about him. We did the full walk to the top of the mountain which is not for the faint hearted! I'm still sore haha. Also lots of gorgeous spots nearby. I def wouldn't do the full walk in summer but so many stunning swimming spots for summer. Highly recommend

Everything you would possibly want from a mountain retreat!
From the minute my partner and I arrived, we were greeted by the quiet wilderness and walked into a beautifully walmed farmstead cottage. From the serentity of ranges that surround you to the functionality of the accommodation (it seriously has everything from cheese serving boards to a firepit) we had the most wonderful relaxing stay. The views from the eastern decked area are spectacular, especially enjoying a cuppa in the morning. Also, the comfortability of the bedding and clawfoot bath was awesome! The owners are as tenitive or as reclusive as you need! And their write-up about the cottage is spot on. I would and have already highly recommended this getaway to many people, if your looking for a quiet, relaxing place nestled in the mountain ranges, this is your spot!

The information provide on the booking site (& at the cottage) by the host is accurate and helpful. While access would be a challenge for a regular car, the hosts are very open on the site about that. Once there we had an idyllic stay for 3 (rainy) nights, so enjoyed the wood fire. Loved the rustic country feel but the cottage is decorated with style and has everything you will need. Lots of space and good beds. And as needed the hosts were very responsive. A unique spot.
