Curlew Retreat was lovely and secluded and exactly what we needed. Loved that we could take our dog too. Walks around the property were great with lots of wildflowers still on display. A couple of small things needed attention at the cabin but nothing to detract from the overall experience. Definitely recommend for a couple to get away for a while.

Remote and peaceful .. just the sound of birds. Lovely to walk around the property and down to the gorge. Well located for day trip to Stanthorpe and home via Tenterfield. Met the horses (the youngster Tahoe was a little frisky so you’d need to be careful if you are not comfortable around horses or have children with you). The accommodation is great .. I’d recommend the walls and skirting boards be freshen up with paint and bathroom could be given a facelift. The kitchen has everything you could want (perhaps only placemats missing or not found). BBQ was good. The extras such as butter, bread and jams was a lovely touch. Lounge and TV perfect and although not super cold we did use the wood fire and wood provisions so a tick there too. A very enjoyable break.

Words cannot do justice to a place like this. Granite wonderland meets classy accomodation. Bring a mountain bike if you have one, and a taste for the great outdoors.

Stunning location, beautiful cottage
Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Well appointed kitchen with views over the valley. Watching the river flowing through the gorge on the property was spectacular, a real highlight. Everything was thought of, from a telescope to binoculars, boardgames and movies. Thank-you for a memorable stay.

It's private and the view is beautiful. Happy with the amenities, except for the blankets and cushion covers which need to be washed. I would recommend to confirm prior to checking in, eventhough Wotif says otherwise. It wasn't a good feeling after a long drive and we didn't have the access code with limited phone reception.

Fantastic Family Getaway
Such a wonderful place, exceptionally remote and away from humans, though the horses seem to think they're human sometimes. Everything you need to be fully self-contained is provided, just do your grocery shopping at Stanthorpe and you can pretty much stay there your whole stay unless you want to go out and explore. We visited Tenterfield and had a great morning tea at "The Potting Shed" - highly recommended. Just before you get to the dirt road to the place you can stop at the Lavender farm. On the property, there is a gorge which is a short hike down the hill, it's such a fantastic place to take the kids down to, and you'll definitely spot a skeleton or two - great way to freak them out!

Fantastic location and very nice accommodation styled home. Awesome gorge to meander around and discover. Bathroom and bedrooms well appointed with nice quality items. Cleanliness in kitchen/dining areas were subpar, BBQ had not been cleaned after last use. Was very disappointed that there wasn't any dry firewood or provisions to make a fire (no newspaper, firelighters or kindling) and the breakfast goodies promised weren't all there (par-baked Vienna loaf or local jams were missing). Owner comment when I rang to find out where these items were was disappointing, came across as we were an inconvenience, no apologies made. Could be a fantastic retreat if more care taken in setting up the experience as promised to guests on website and for the price of $385 per night I did expect better.
