Perfect little cottage for our little dogs and us

We stayed overnight on our way up the north coast. The cottage was made up so welcoming for us and our little dogs, with a lovely self cook breakfast hamper and a great space for the doggies to explore around the cottage the next morning.

Delightful place

I can't speak highly enough of the beautiful space Deb has created. I stayed with my little pug and Deb's personal touches, and her warm hospitality made this stay stand out from all the rest. I look forward to the day I can return.

Old Post Office B&B

Lovely stay at Deb's B&B. The open space and adjoining farm makes for a lovely rural stay very close to Taree. Deb has done a wonderful job in making this B&B quaint. Deb was excellent when our circumstances prevented us having to cancel an earlier booking. It was good to finally make the trip south and we enjoyed meeting Deb in person.

Loved our unique little stopover in historic building

From the get go Deb was extremely lovely and helpful. We felt so honoured to stay in the original Ghinni Ghinni post office.. an amazing array of treats for us humans and a sweet doggie bag of goodies for our two pooches welcomed us, as well as very generous breakfast supplies. The place was lovely and clean with a super comfy bed. We will definitely book again.

Historical charm and very pet-friendly

Deb has set up this delightful historical building as a cosy and comfortable b&b for humans and pooches. It is immaculately clean and has every mod con you could rrquire. We also arranged for Deb to prepare a meal and special dessert as we were travelling on my husband's birthday and they both proved fresh and delicious. Would strongly recommend this place as a half-way stop between Canberra and Brisbane.

Overnight stay

Property very well presented, charming. Although near highway, quiet inside. Very comfortable, all needs and more provided for, even for my little poodle. Directions need to be more accurate and spoke with owner about this upon leaving. When next going up the north coast, will definitely make another stay.

Fantastic alternative for pet friendly accommodation

Our host Deb provides dining choices. We ordered a platter for four as we were meeting up with old friends while travelling from QLD to NSW. Deb provided an amazingly generous platter ( ordered from her website) and it was such a lovely stay knowing that our dog Bonnie was genuinely welcomed. Yes, it is rustic, but such a better alternative to so many ‘pet friendly’ offerings that are on offer in the older style motels you find on the highway. Highly recommend!

A gem for overnight travellers with pets.

A beautiful setting with plenty of thoughtful touches. My overnight stay with two border collie dogs was a perfect rest stop. A large, fenced yard with dog toys and bowls provided. Deb is a fabulous host who cooked up scrumptious breakfast.

Hidden highway gem!

We had a wonderful stopover at the old Post Office. The accommodation is a beautiful period property just off the highway that is VERY dog-friendly and filled with old world charm. The host, Deb, is amazing and made the stay very enjoyable. We will be back again!

Ghinni ghinni spacious 4 room historical cottage

Wonderful comfortable stay with everything you could need including an air fryer, homemade, home grown pumpkin soup and a well stocked first aid kit, all of which we made use of. Our Border Collie was in heaven with plenty of green grass to run around on and doggie treats. We slept incredibly well in the very comfortable bed. Delicious brekky incl farm eggs. Very interesting storybooks on the history of the property and about good places to go locally. We will be returning.
