Simon and Greg have developed Donegal over the last 16 years and look forward to sharing it with you. We will greet you on arrival and show you around Saddler's Retreat and what is available on the property and in the local area. We are always happy to talk about sightseeing options and where to explore.
Feel free to enjoy our gardens or bushwalk over our 150 ha property. The Bluff River flows through the middle of Donegal and provides a pleasant evening or morning wander. In the evening sit around the firepit and BBQ with a beer or a wine, and look up at the expanse of unblemished starry sky above.
Nearby is the Washpool National Park with outstanding lookouts and Torrington Nature Reserve with bushwalking. Baldrock and Boonoo Boonoo Falls on the other side of Tenterfield are well worth a visit. Tenterfield itself is only 15 minutes away and has plenty of cafes, restaurants and museums to explore.
We look forward to welcoming you to Donegal
