we have just returned from a small family wedding held at the resort last weekend. The wedding service was held in a delightful setting at the vineyard, and the reception in the small dining room. Most of the guests came from far and wide and stayed at the resort which allowed us to really catch up and enjoy ourselves, and... More

We just got home from a mid week two night stay at the retreat which we booked through Wotif with a special deal that included a bottle of wine and continental breakfast. The cabins were just wonderful, cosy and comfortable with a great tv/dvd player. The fireplace was a lovely touch as was the verandah. It was peaceful and private... More

We stayed on Monday and Tuesday nights (cheap deals on Wotif for midweek). The cabin was roomy, secluded, clean and comfortable. Lovely to relax on the verandah, and log fire was welcome in the evening. TV/DVD screen could be turned so it could be seen from any point in the room. We were given a bottle of local wine and...

Overall Happy Valley is a fun place to stay, especially with a few different couples. There are a number of cabins (about 20 or so) scattered around a large opening surrounded by the trees and bush typical of the Granite Belt. This gives it a bit of a resort or camp feel, boosted by the large building which is home... More

We were just passing through Stanthorpe and wanted cabin accommodation for one night. Happy Valley Retreat seemed to be the only place that would allow us a one night stay in a cabin. The reception staff were so welcoming and friendly. The weather was miserable and we were the only couple in the restaurant for dinner but the staff were... More

Although the cabins are fairly basic they are adequate for a short stay. They are spaced well apart and surrounded by their own natural bush, making for a quiet and peaceful stay. We appreciated the cosy fireplace and electric blankets when the temperature dropped. Unfortunately we found the furniture, beds and pillows to be a bit firm for our liking,... More

You can't get any closer to nature. It is the most ideal place to do reflections and to spend quality time with your loved ones. You will definitely have no regrets. With such good dinner - I will definitely return. More

We booked by phone from the tourist information in Warwick and expected a really romantic place in the bush. When we got to the Happy Valley Retreat we got a family cabin with bunk beds (we should have been told to have a choice) and instead of a view to the bush we had a view to 2 rubbish bins... More

Hi VeSaDi, We are sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. Our goal for all guests is to have an excellent, relaxing time. My husband and I were informed of your complaint regarding the room with bunk beds. Our reception staff said that if we had a spare room they would have moved you. However when you... More

We stayed here for a conference and it was great! Very cosy and relaxing rooms, especially with the fire and wine provided in rooms. The meals were all lovely, especially as they had to cater for lots of different types - veg, GF, DF etc. The staff are all helpful and make your stay enjoyable. Definitely recommend to couples who... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Happy Valley. I was there as part of a workshop group and we were very well catered for. The food was fabulous - lots of dietary options, delicious and fresh. The rooms are very spacious and private and the large windows let you look out to the bushland. More
