You may walk from the house to the Bird park. Kim & Wendy are more than welcoming : fresh bread and orange juice every morning. Very nice garden to pick herbs fruit and veggies from. We stayed an extra day and did’nt feel like leaving them. Worth much more than the price of it. Luxe, calme et volupté.

We have stayed at Girragirra many times and it just keeps getting better. It’s sparkling clean, comfortable, welcoming and generous- from the beautiful edible garden to the well-stocked kitchen and the freshly baked breakfast sourdough. Kim and Wendy are perfect hosts. And the plunge pool was just the thing for days of 36 degrees! I can’t recommend it highly enough.

We love Girragirra’s environmentally sustainable and comfortable accommodation. Wonderful hosts, beautiful setting, and fresh organic produce picked from the garden. Large, spacious rooms, quality bed linen, full kitchen and generous provisions. Pete, the dog, is great company and enjoys a walk to the local bird hide. We highly recommend this property!

Girragirra felt like home the moment we arrived. The warm welcome from the hosts (and Pete the Kelpie) set us up for a relaxing stay. The home overlooked a billabong and bushland views, including from the bathtub! Kim and Wendy provided many thoughtful touches, like fresh herbs from the garden, delicious daily sourdough, and a fireplace ready to light (though the home was so warm, we didn't need it!). Pete's guided tour to Gum Swamp, where we saw our first sculptures and an amazing sunset, made us wish we could stay longer. Girragirra is a touch of luxury in a tranquil location, handy to the Sculptures Down the Lachlan trail and a short drive to town. We highly recommend!

We have become regulars at Girragirra; it’s our go-to destination to relax and unwind, while enjoying a beautiful property, excellent home grown and home made food and wonderfully warm hospitality from Wendy and Kim. They are great hosts who are passionate about their property and their community, and they have a wealth of knowledge and recommendations about what do to, see and eat in the area. The property itself is very comfortable, with everything you need in the kitchen, a lovely, relaxing bathroom and sunny outdoor area in which to laze away the day listening to birds, watching kangaroos and enjoying a glass of wine. We always use the bbq, after purchasing from the excellent local butchers. The produce from the Girragirra garden is always excellent and we get to try new things every time we stay. And the last word goes to Peter, the kelpie - a beautiful creature who always comes to say hello and make us feel at home.…

I stayed at Girragirra on a working in Parkes trip. It was worth the 1 hour round trip to spend my downtime at GG. Luxury accommodation, loved it, hosts are everything you could hope. Seven out of five stars.

The Girragirra Retreat was a perfect place to stay for the three nights in Forbes NSW. The architecture ensures privacy and quiet and the decor is calm so as to appreciate the outside view. The host was delightful and arrived each morning with a loaf of sourdough bread and freshly sqeezed orange juice. The view from the outdoor sitting area is a native grassland and billabong, just beautiful in an unkempt way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Another attraction is the Sculpture Down the Lachan which a drive towards Condobolin with worldclass sculptures in the natural setting.

We saw the Girragirra Retreat ad online and booked it so easily. Upon arrival we were very impressed with the accommodation which is so tastefully done with lots of artistic touches and solid timber fittings. The amazing view through the gigantic picture windows of a billabong revealed bird life and kangaroos coming down for a drink. Our hosts Wendy and Kim were superb and spoilt us with fresh bread and orange juice every morning and a basket of fresh eggs in the firidge, just to mention a little!
