The photos dont do justice to the place. View is great, the place is comfy, bed was nice. Shame there are no photos of the kitchen, but it has everything you need. I would suggest adding a bluetooth speaker, extra towels and BBQ cleaning products and a brush.

Beautiful property with stunning views

The property was beautiful, and well fitted out with all amenities. The view is stunning, anf the property is peaceful with the next cabin a good distance away. The only drawback is we only stayed for two nights which was not long enough. The only thing i would recommend is If you are staying in winter bring a lot of warm clothes because it gets very cold and has high ceilings.

Lovely View & Surrounds but Overpriced

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this property. While we enjoyed ourselves and the view is as beautiful as ever, the property has had little maintenance done on it over the last four or so years whilst the price has increased over 50%. Carpets are becoming stained, all knives etc in the kitchen are blunt and mismatched, the spa is seemingly on its last legs and there was no firewood this time (which is fine but we were not informed of this). A real shame as we obviously love this place having been three times; unfortunately it is just getting too expensive to stay there just for the view.

Peaceful and quiet

Bumpy drive, but worth it for the views. My 2 year old loved waking up to feed the Kangaroos every morning. Well equipped kitchen. Definitely bring groceries with you so there is no need to leave! Little tip, Local petrol station at Peterson has a Cafe atatached to it and seriously makes the best soup I've ever had in my life

Tranquility Plus

Always a great place to stay and get away from the world. Turn on the music, open the glass doors and sit in the private hot tub whilst taking in the amazing views. Kangaroos surrounding the area of a day with their joey's learning how to survive, birds chirping and the possums coming out to play of a night time is all you need. Love it! Thanks for another great stay.

Amazing RnR!!

The most amazing place to leave the world behind you and take in the spectacular countryside, in complete privacy. Can not wait to return!! Susan (manager) was so helpful and available to call to help with any inquiry we had. We were also able to order in-house massages, with Mary. They were the perfect addition to our weekend of relaxation (expect maybe her music playlist - unless oldies country is your jam) The power went out the last day, which meant no electricity or water, so we left early, which was a shame because we throughly enjoyed the whole weekend.

It’s not just a beautiful location and architecture but also spectacularly payed out in a caring way (wine in the fridge, fireplace on, hot tub lovely and warm - clear instructions in kitchen on how to use the spa cleaner), Very clean facilities and beautiful wild life. I would recommend coming here as a young adult celebrating my birthday with my partner it was just lovely! Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Crossley

Host profile image

We bought the lodge about 20 years ago as our getaway country home from Sydney – It’s at the very highest point on the mountain looking north over a valley with two meandering rivers and , 40 klms away, Barrington tops. It’s modern, cleverly designed for both cool and warmth. Everything there – the art, the furnishings, the utensils etc, are part of our pleasure – as are the comments in the Visitors Book.

We encourage the birds , the wallabies & roos. We maintain the grounds, walk the tracks, swim in the lagoon among the waterlilies, and still enjoy travelling around the country roads to Vacy, Gresford and further afield to Lowstock dam and Dungog. Family gatherings are enjoyed there, and it will always remain in family ownership.

We let it out so that our absences for work and travel abroad don’t leave it uncared for - so it’s always immaculate for us and guests, thanks to our managing agents.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

A place to relax and be refreshed and get away from fast past city life.
