Tranquil, bliss; perfect
The property is stunning, the view of the mountains a piece of art that changed daily. The lush rolling hill and cows grazing in the paddocks make for the perfect get away. Having private access to the Never Never Creek a special treat. Our Labrador enjoyed running around the front lawn and having so much room to play.The Belligen and Gleniffer area very relaxed and pretty. The cottage is a perfect getaway. Thank you.

Beautiful property in a spectacular location
Our 10 night stay at Thamarra cottage was simply wonderful. We love views and the mountains took our breathe away. The cottage had everything we needed and the peace and quiet made for a relaxing holiday. We ate well at Bellingen and strongly recommend Hyde Cafe for coffee (and their cinnamon scrolls!) We played golf at many courses, we hiked the rainforests, we paddled the rivers. All within an easy drive. Lisa is very friendly and helpful, so everything was just perfect.

A beautiful and peaceful place to stay
The cottage is located in a peaceful rural setting near to Bellingen. On arrival, I received a friendly and warm welcome. My little dog was also welcomed. The refurbished cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Generous breakfast supplies were left in the fridge. I ate most of my meals outside on a veranda which overlooked the Dorrigo escarpment. Views were spectacular. Wildlife was plentiful with wallabies and many birds to be seen. The cottage even had resident green frog which lived behind the washing machine in the laundry.

Magical Escape
We could not have asked for more! Every aspect of of this beautiful home away from home was well considered by the host. The furnishings and decor are chic yet unfussy, the bed is large and super comfortable, the outdoor bathtub is perfectly located to take in the surrounding mountains and fields. The fridge and larder were brimming with the makings for breakfast including beautiful fresh sourdough bread. Thank you Lisa, we loved it!

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful location
The location is gorgeous - sweeping views over mountains and the "Promised Land". Lovely garden around the corsage. The cottage is perfect for two people and a dog - good kitchen, comfortable bed , lovely bathroom and good wifi . Beautiful just sitting on the verandah reading or relaxing. Short drive into Bellingen so convenient but really i the country.

Little Oasis
What a perfect little getaway! I don’t even know where to start. From the moment we drove up on to the property we knew we were in for a treat! The guest house was so perfect and all the little extras were so thoughtful and really made the trip that more special. The bed was like sleeping on the softest cosiest cloud. The fire place was also a treat on the cold winter nights! What we absolutely loved about our stay was that we could bring our dog! He loved the wide open space and having Lisa’s dog jack to play with. I think he was sad to say goodbye to Jack. We will definitely be staying here again and recommending to all our friends. 10 out of 10!

A little piece of heaven
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We relaxed and felt very welcomed. The cottage is just perfect very private but close enough to explore the region. We loved Jack's the boarder Collie that visited each day and also escorted us to the creek. Thankyou Lisa for being a lovely host.

Special touches....make this cottage....perfect.
Perfection...is the best way to describe this property. It is in a wonderful location atop a hill overlooking the mountains. Tranquil and quiet, it makes for a great couples getaway. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was perfectly sized and had all the amenities you could want. The host even supplied breakfast items which included fresh eggs from the farm. At every turn there were little touches that made the place special. We especially enjoyed the company of the host dogs. The adorable pair would follow us on walks and made us feel at home on the property. The land fronts on the Never Never river and the dogs accompanied us for a swim and a game of fetch. It will always be a lasting memory from our trip. The convenient location allowed us easy access to the town of Belligen where we would have lunch, pick up a tea or shop. It was also a great location for hikes in the Dorrigo mountains and nearby national parks. We also used the nearby canoe outfitter for a wonderful day trip down the river. I would like to applaud the hosts for designing the perfect cottage...maintaining it well, adding the lovely touches and opening up for others to enjoy. Thank you.
