Friday Creek Retreat

The whole retreat is just breathtaking. Even though it was torrential rain for most of our 3 night stay it was the most beautiful location. We witnessed a calf being born, saw wedged tail eagles, Kookaburras and possums. Driving out to the retreat is like having the most glorious Forrest bath even in the pitch black of night we were blessed with the sighting of two Bilbies in two different stretches of road and we stopped and watched their burrowing and scavenging for food close up. The cabin we stayed in#8 (French Provincial) was cosy and warm and was really just so perfect and what I needed. Planning my 50th there next year now. Can’t wait to go back.

What an absolute delight! We arrived in the rain as Cyclone Alfred was loitering off the coast of southern Queensland. We accepted Paul's offer to make pizzas with the green prawns and mozarella we had picked up on our way and, as the rain continued, we shared life stories and pizza and wine by the pool ... which was overflowing by this time! A loaf of fresh bread under an umbrella was deliverd by Celine the next morning. We stayed for three nights as the weather worsened, and Paul and Diane stayed in touch making sure we were ok, and offering top-ups of food (and wine!) if needed. Our cottage was gorgeous, beautifully appointed, a very comfortable bed, wifi, a more than adequate kitchen, and a spa bath. We even managed a load of washing and drying (free) in the community facility by the pool. Our little puppy Lilly, enjoyed romping around in the wet grass, accompanied by songs from the birds which took shelter from the rain on our covered verandah. We would absolutely return, and highly recommend this beautiful hideaway.

This is my second stay at Friday creek, it was just as magical as last time. The cabins are beautiful and clean. The views in the morning were so relaxing . We needed a quick break so this time went without the kids. Other than me constantly annoying my partner that I wish I could pet the cows, we had a very peaceful time. Far enough away from everything, but close enough if you wanted to pop into Coffs for some shopping. Love it and can’t wait to go back!

We recently enjoyed a wonderful 3-night getaway that was truly a breath of fresh air. The place was beautifully presented, creating a serene atmosphere that felt miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was incredibly relaxing and peaceful, allowing us to unwind completely. We were delighted by the abundance of butterflies and wild birds that surrounded the area, adding to the natural beauty. To top it all off, We even had a charming visit from a possum, which made the experience even more special. Overall, it was a perfect escape, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to recharge in a tranquil setting.

WOW what an amazingly beautiful property. Views to die for, privacy, great amenities, a gem of a place to stay. The ambiance of the cabins are unique. The owners a beautiful caring people. I definitely recommend this property and will be booking again soon.

Cabin was clean and tidy. Great location with amazing mountain views from verandah. Diane and Paul were friendly and helpful when we needed to change our dates . Will be coming back again. Perfect short break to recharge batteries . Was also perfect space for our puppy to stay with us too
