I really enjoyed staying here as it was the peace and quiet I was looking for. We stayed in the farthest accommodation, and it was fantastic sitting out on the back veranda with an amazing view of nature and not a sliver of man-made noise or construction in sight. I plan to return as soon as possible.

We arrived at The Barking Owl with less than an hours notice on a Saturday night. Tanya had the cottage made up and ready for our arrival. We stayed in The Dingo’s Lair cottage which although compact for 2 adults and a child is excellently thought out. It is well equipped, we had everything we needed and didnt find space... More

Perfect way to get away from it all and just force yourself to chill out and enjoy the wide open spaces of the Tablelands, this is the spot! Quiet and chilled, beautiful breezes rolling up the valley at you morning, noon and night. The hampers are a great touch that means you don't have to go anywhere if you don't... More

We arrived after dark so had trouble finding the place however after much wandering around the countryside we did eventually arrive and were greated by a lovely lady who supplied us with our breakfast supplies. We... More

Tranquil spot , clean except for when we turned on the spa jets and rubbish floated out..eeeww! and the foul odour when we were filling the bath. Stingy breakfast...and lastly TOO many labels for my liking..i felt like i was back at kinder..if you need to instruct people write in in a folder and ask people to read it if... More

We stayed in Dingoes Lair for 2 nights in July. The location is quiet and the siting of the cottage is simply perfect. Some of the original parts of the cottage are still evident and give the little building its great charm and character. It was in spotless condition, very comfortable and had great modern appliances. Although Barking Owl Retreat... More

My son and I wondered down... More
