The host Maria and her quality retreat deserve a top level rating. The property and amenities were exactly as described - beautifully designed, presented and located. The aspect captures the surrounding wilderness and natural sunlight with ample covered and other outdoor areas to enjoy. The interior layout, furnishings and landscaping are superb. The retreat is spotless and well equipped with ample guidance provided via small printed signs to maximise the experience and to maintain sustainable living practices. The location provides the option to ‘retreat’ and/or venture out into the immediate wilderness or to the Dorrigo area. We did some prior planning of a basic menu with supplies which gave us the option to relax and dine at the retreat. The patio BBQ and fully equipped kitchen made meal preparation a breeze. We enjoyed early morning walks along the neighbourhood road and cross country daytime walks down to the creek. A day out at Dorrigo is a must - Dangar Falls, the Skywalk and a coffee at Components Cafe. And….a soak in the outdoor bath tubs on dusk was a fabulous wind-down looking up at the tree lined evening sky and listening to a chorus of bush sounds as the day came to an end.
