We recently enjoyed a wonderful 3-night getaway that was truly a breath of fresh air. The place was beautifully presented, creating a serene atmosphere that felt miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was incredibly relaxing and peaceful, allowing us to unwind completely. We were delighted by the abundance of butterflies and wild birds that surrounded the area, adding to the natural beauty. To top it all off, We even had a charming visit from a possum, which made the experience even more special. Overall, it was a perfect escape, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to recharge in a tranquil setting.

Quiet retreat into mountains
Peaceful and secluded, take your food with you! Very comfortable. Lovely pool which we didn’t use due to the storm! Fantastic views and opportunity to relax and visit national parks including walking in the rain forest!

Friday Creek Retreat is like a home away from home. It is an amazing place to relax, recharge and slow down. The beautiful relaxing setting in the country, the privacy, the cabins, and the amazing pool area just perfect for unwinding. The wonderful Hosts allow you to feel like you’re the only people there in your little cabin and help to make it a totally relaxing time. We are absolutely going to make it a regular getaway.

The whole retreat is just breathtaking. Even though it was torrential rain for most of our 3 night stay it was the most beautiful location. We witnessed a calf being born, saw wedged tail eagles, Kookaburras and possums. Driving out to the retreat is like having the most glorious Forrest bath even in the pitch black of night we were blessed with the sighting of two Bilbies in two different stretches of road and we stopped and watched their burrowing and scavenging for food close up. The cabin we stayed in#8 (French Provincial) was cosy and warm and was really just so perfect and what I needed. Planning my 50th there next year now. Can’t wait to go back.

This is my second stay at Friday creek, it was just as magical as last time. The cabins are beautiful and clean. The views in the morning were so relaxing . We needed a quick break so this time went without the kids. Other than me constantly annoying my partner that I wish I could pet the cows, we had a very peaceful time. Far enough away from everything, but close enough if you wanted to pop into Coffs for some shopping. Love it and can’t wait to go back!
