I’m torn.
Do I tell you all just how amazing this place is and risk the secret getting out? When I go to book our next trip to Tyalgum Springs will it be booked out because I spilled the beans?
Do I tell you it’s the best value for money holiday I’ve ever had and risk the prices going up??
I’m just going to level with you.
This was one of the BEST holidays my family and I have ever had.
It wasn’t planned. We needed to spend 14 days outside of greater Sydney before we could cross the border into Qld.
We booked this place and didn’t give it a second thought.
We arrived in the middle of the night and woke up in the clouds. With Mount Warning popping out over head.
The house has everything you need, and nothing you don’t.
I have young children and they spent their time off screens and in their gumboots, feeding the horses, hunting for tadpoles and ‘swimming’ in the outdoor bath.
We had outdoor showers, walks to the swimming hole (the BEAUTIFUL Oxley river) and made s’mores on the open fire every evening.
We spent days in the perfect water of Byron Beach and Kingscliff - stopping at the Moo Moo Roadhouse for petrol and milkshakes - and came home to a warm bath.
The Margaret Olley gallery is also close by.
On Sunday we had the most incredible smoked brisket burgers with garlic potatoes at the general store 2 mins down the road (they also make the best coffee, and stock lots of local produce - the sourdough is delish).
The local shop had a fairy who read stories to my kids while I pottered around checking out the gorgeous books.
We chased frogs after sunset, picked a lime or two from the garden and spent time on the sofa watching Netflix.
What was an inconvenient stop over turned into a perfect holiday.
We will be back.
In the meantime I will follow Tyalgum Springs on Insta and hopefully I get to see more families having the kind of holiday we did.
Thank you Georgia!
