Luxurious, Relaxing & Authentic Nature Stay!
Posted 11 Jan 2018
Location: Right at the start of trekking site at Barrington Tops National Park. Visit the neighboring town (Dungog) if you have time, loved the pizzeria there
We were warmly greeted by the owner, Philippa who was very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. Since the lodge is located right at the trekking sites of the national park, we were able to save time and see most of the view points and come across really nice swimming holes. Such a pleasant and relaxing stay - definitely one of the best nature-stay experience. Room was very tidy and cozy - the spa bath is the best to relax your tired feet after hours of trekking. Will definitely come back next time!

A mixed bag.

Pros: Setting
Cons: attention to detail, making sure everything was in order before guests arrive.
Location: beautiful walks
Beautiful setting but Resort felt a bit tired and needed some attention: fridge milk was off, some lights didn't work etc. Small stuff maybe, and was attended to, but not a good start to a stay. Otherwise a nicely set up place. Service was friendly but a bit casual re issues. Did go out of their way for us re onward travel etc. and were very informative about local environment. Some nice touches with outdoor fire, spa bath etc.

Pros: Ideal location for bush walking or relaxing.
Cons: Clearer information about when the restaurant is open. It is a long drive back to town.
Location: Bush walking 2 minutes away. The Settlers Arms great restaurant in town. Tinshed Brewery excellent for craft beers and burgers.
Upgraded to an apartment. Fantastic accommodation. Confusion about whether our rate included breakfast. So glad I printed the booking before we went - we got breakfast. One of the reasons we chose the hotel was it had a restaurant; however, that is rarely ever open.

Thank you we have taken your comments on board and appreciate feed back. We do try to make eating here clear but will endeavour to try harder. It is a remote location.
