Happy hideaway holiday

Booked the Manning cottage for 5 nights. It was as described comfortable and welcoming, with all the facilities necessary for a very pleasant self contained experience. Great views overlooking the river, quiet and private. The host Paul was very friendly and on hand when needed. We thoroughly recommend Barrington Cottages as a great hideaway holiday in a lovely setting.Thanks a lot to our hosts for a great stay. We'll be back for sure.

Peaceful Location

We recently stayed 4 nights at Barrington Hideaway. Delightful location, right on the river. Sitting outside on the veranda watching the river flow by was very relaxing. Sue was very communicative and helpful with good advise. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and close to some great hikes. Highly recommend

Clean cottage on farm with pretty outlook

Roomy cottage with lovely verandah overlooking native garden & the river. Great for birdwatching & reading as the rain fell down. Ideal base for day trips to Barrington Tops & also only a few Ks to Gloucester for coffee & supplies. Single beds were big enough for adults, not just kid sized. Try to visit when farmers market is on.

Peaceful cabin

Our cabin was spacious, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed plus more. Communication with Sue was easy. The beds were comfy, the verandah perfectly situated over the river and we loved being surrounded by nature. The onsite cows and the birds chirping in the trees were lovely. Highly recommended.

Perfect getaway

Fantastic stay in a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting just above the river. Lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a platypus and lots of bird life. The cottage itself was very well appointed. Would stay again.

We had a very enjoyable stay despite the hot dry whether over the new year period. The cabin is in a lovely quiet and private spot, we enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking over the river. Hosts were kind and very helpful. The cabin was well fitted out with all conveniences for an enjoyable stay.

Lovely place to relax and unwind

My husband and I had a lovely short stay, the cottages are tucked away at the back of the property close to the river. Wildlife was great to wake up to.

Beautiful Location

We stayed for 1 night as we travelled home from QLD and could not fault the accommodation nor the location. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms etc and the sound of the river just off the balcony was so peaceful. We saw frogs, many birds and a bunny just from the balcony which the kids loved. We will definitely look to come back for a longer stay.
