Amazing little corner of seclusion

We loved our stay on the Allyn river. Sandy listened to our plans and went out of her way to make sure we had a few little things covered to help us out and let us check in early for our toddler to have a nap. We had so much fun just swimming in the three or four accessible swimming holes and sitting by the outdoor fire cooking and relaxing. Such a nice secluded little place during the Easter mayhem. Bedding and beds were amazing and everything a family needs to chill out and relax and enjoy each others company.

Great place to stay with family

Our kids loved this place. From swimming in the creeks, fishing & roaming around freely on the property, there was lots to see & do. Very relaxing for us as parents as well. Definitely a place we will return to in the future.

Lovely wooden cabin

We had a beautiful stay in the Upper Allyn, despite it being in the middle of a heatwave. The fans and aircon took the sting out of the nights (great sleeps were had), and the river burbled beautifully away during the day. Cows wandered across the lawn and accepted ear rubs, we were on first name terms with an azure kingfisher, and the Lady's Well waterhole just up the road proved more than enough fun for the kids during the day. Thanks for the pleasure of sharing your special cabin!

A beautiful location and a very comfortable home.

We cannot recommend this property highly enough. The cabins are so comfortable and have everything you need. Great location next to the river with private swimming holes and walking tracks to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful surrounds. We saw so many birds (and an echidna). It’s remote with the reward you get to completely switch off but close enough to services if you really need them. We can’t wait to return to experience it in winter.

It’s a quiet and nice place with nothing to do. Just relax!

It was a very welcoming stay. Owner responded very easily and explained everything. House was a well equipped had a fire place which helps a lot in winter. But it’s a bit far from the town about 30-40mins and had a dirty road ( not a quiet dirty). So be consider if people doesn’t like that condition. However overall is a perfect! I like that birds singing and sounds of the allyn river, especially the house Allyn! Thanks ^^

The perfect place to unwind!

My wife and I stayed in “Riverview” which is set back a little from “Riverside” but still with wonderful views of the babbling Allyn River. Both cabins are very private from each other so you needn’t be concerned about being in each other’s space. Riverview was very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The only thing missing for us was that there was no bubble bath for the luxurious double spa bath. However I’m sure this was just a minor oversight as everything else was well stocked. We took our pet dog along with us and he adjusted quite well with the surroundings including the inquisitive cows they had on the property. When you sit out on the verandah early morning with a cup of coffee, it is awesome to watch the sun peaking its head up through the timbered escarpment and watching the river flow down under. Of an evening it is just magic sitting by the campfire with your favourite bottle of red and listening to the river ebb by or the sound of the crackling fire. We would recommend these cabins to anyone and we intend to revisit again soon. Dave & Jeanette

Great place to stay

Superbly simple cabin in a great location. Could easily have spent our entire stay sitting on the verandah, watching the Allyn flow past. In terms of cabin aesthetics, the owners have clearly put a lot of thought into using these to create a serene vibe. Beautiful! functionality is top-notch too. (Note, stay was in January 2016, however the review drop-down menu only offered years up to 2015)

Picture perfect location

A very relaxing and comfortable cabin. Riverside cabin was great however Riverview has just as good a location. All facilities were available, the BBQ was great and plenty of logs for the indoor fire. We travelled as 2 couples and found it was very easy to share the cabin. The riverside fireplace was a wonderful way to spend the evening and cook marshmellows and chat around the fire

Amazing location

This cabin offers a great chance to really unwind - it is quite remote, no phone reception, TV, internet etc - which is a rare thing these days. We love coming here for that reason. The Allyn River is a beautiful setting, with great swimming holes. The cabin is clean and comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing break.

It is a magic place. Everything was ready - outside 2 fireplaces. Kitchen equiped very well. Beautiful view from the deck. Cottage is clean and spacious. For 2 couples just right. We cannot wait to come back. River is clear and water is not cold as we would expect. But no fish.It is good to have 4 x 4 to get to Barrington Tops.
