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.

Can’t wait to come back
The gallery was the most beautiful place! It was the perfect reset and recharge for us. We loved the spa, pool table, and resort facilities. And the view - second to none. Can’t wait to return!
Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022

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.
