Our group: two couples plus a dog, visiting to attend a wedding on Mt Warning.
The location: on a hillside looking over a couple of dams towards Mt Warning, the house is in a perfect position to soak in the lush views and tranquility. Tyalgum is a 5 minute drive down the road and has a few heritage listed buildings housing a classic general store and a cafe which also encompasses an artisan bakery, in house coffee roasting + barista, and a gin bar + pizza oven that fires up on Friday nights. Completely unexpected for a tiny town, but creates a warm and energised atmosphere. Excellent gin cocktails and delicious pizza, plus live music! Great to see a local endeavour thriving.
The house: excellent aspect for views and the warming western sun in winter. Well set up with everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. We were welcomed with fresh free range eggs (very delicious) and milk with various condiments available for use in the fridge which made our Saturday morning cook up a dream. Comfy beds and couch. Chimmenea worked beautifully and we sat around that for ages in the evening, able to stare into the flames and look up into a star filled sky. The best way to unwind on a Friday evening.
The host: Georgia provided excellent communication from booking to our departure. She was responsive and provided all the details required to help make our stay quite effortless. Being a country property there are a few things to know about the gates and horses etc, but it was all made very clear. We required an iron on Saturday to fix up some clothes to attend a wedding, and within about 10 minutes Georgia had arranged for a neighbor to drop one off to the house. This was incredibly thoughtful of her and generous of her neighbor and we appreciated it very much. I think it reflects that Georgia really deserves her Super Host status and more.
Overall I would definitely recommend Tyalgum Springs for the perfect country getaway. 5 stars.
