Absolutely beautiful and cozy cabin, there is so much to do at the retreat, plus all the animals you can see on the way to the retreat!

Phone reception was average depending on your carrier, given that there were no wi-fi.

The tranquil location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but, close enough to cover all attractions Coffs has to offer. Pristine rural surrounds with gorgeous views of upper Orara. Great amenities such as a jacuzzi, fireplace to unwind yourself and have a quality time with the family.

Stunning location. Peaceful. I loved the deck seating area and the view. The spa bath was a nice touch too!

Friday Creek Retreat was an amazing experience. Whether you want to just sit back, take in the view and relax or partake in hikes and exploring the surrounding nature it is all up to you. Dianne and Paul were wonderful hosts - always on call if you needed them, but also very happy to leave you to your own privacy. Just book a couple of nights of luxury and judge for yourselves.

NOT their fault at all but the only thing we didn't enjoy was the drive out there especially the first night when we went to the pub for dinner, it's a pretty long windy road...give yourself a few days to get used to it and it's all good and you'll be driving like a local in no time at all

We absolutely an awesome stay, it was so peaceful and chilled you could feel the stress just draining away from you when you arrived, the hosts and their daughter were so friendly, helpful and accomodating that you really had nothing to worry about, the extras that we asked for.. slow cooked dinner, breakfast, cocktail/champagne on arrival, fresh bread and more were well above our expectations, well worth the stay and most definitely will be coming back again

Open fire was great but a bit smoker. Not sure if you can do anything about this.

This truly was a wonderful stay and we would gladly return. The place was very comfortable and the location fantastic.

There could have been a few more condiments like cooking oil, otherwise it was perfect. I'm sure they would have provided if we asked ☺️

Beautiful, cosy, secluded, oasis, with the most stunning views of rolling hills, river, windmill, mountain, everything you need, including full kitchen, open fireplace, own deck, and spa. Attentive, genuine service, highly recommended ☺️

Wifi didn’t work. A vacuum for guests to use would help when accommodating pets. A cabin with fenced area outside for dogs to be off leash would be a bonus.

Pet friendly. Cabin was clean and well equipped. Large bathroom with shower and spa bath. The veranda was nice with a hammock and table and chairs to eat outside with a view. Bed was comfortable and the location was good. Quiet and peaceful. Paul was very helpful.

The barrage of automated emails became wearing, especially because a lot were irrelevant. Perhaps they could be filtered so that if you paid on booking, you are not hectored about paying. The useful one was the one that said that Google Maps could misdirect you; it promised detailed driving instructions but that wasn’t provided. There was enough information in the one that said to go to South Usland Rd.

The cabin was gorgeous.

Once you leave the highway and head towards the retreat, the scenery is spectacular! Our cabin was beautifully decorated in a morrocan theme, with mosaics in the bathroom particularly stunning and the spa for 2 perfect! The bed was very comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed and the views from the balcony heaven! And from the swimming pool...wow! The Friday night seafood platter was a highlight with beautiful fresh local produce, homemade dip, and prawn sliders. Also, it was great to have another night off cooking with one of the slow cooked meals on offer. We had a wonderful relaxing break thanks to our fantastic hosts Paul and Dianne.
