A beautiful country retreat nestled in the Coffs hinterland.Secluded and the serenity is incredible if you just want to escape life's pressures.The hosts are lovely people and are there if needed but stay hidden otherwise to give you privacy.A lot of thought has gone into making the cabins an individual themed experience.

Our stay at The Resort was an excellent break from summer. We stayed in French style villa, cottage no. 8 and the mountains views and location were amazing.

Beautiful location far from the maddening crowd and yet not far away. Our hosts were very welcoming & friendly with loads of information about the area. And of course and just as important to us was our 4 legged baby loved it.
