It was a privilege and a delight staying in Maria and Tracy's heritage country cottage. We spent two days discovering Dorrigo and despite the rain, our experience was wonderful, partly due to the comforts of this charming little home.
It is everything you would like for your classic Aussie country experience. Beautifully appointed, in a relaxed, shabby-chic style, you feel cosy and welcomed from the moment you walk up the hydrangea-lined path and step inside.
Responsive and helpful from the day we initially contacted them, our hosts kindly provided us with some breakfast staples in the fridge and everything we needed for our stay, including extra linen and quilt to make up the divan/day bed for our youngest child. Tracy was just a text or phone call away if there was anything we needed.
Dorrigo is a relatively quiet and charming town, with several cafes, a bakery (next door), a heritage pub (great food in the restaurant) and several boutiques and gift shops. The spectacular Dangar Falls is only 2km down the road, and with all the rain it was even more impressive than we had imagined, creating a wonderful memory for us. The drive up and down the aptly named "Waterfall Way" to/from Bellingen is breathtakingly beautiful.
We can't recommend Maria and Tracy's Dorrigo cottage highly enough and send them a big thank you for accommodating us so nicely.
