A beautiful country retreat nestled in the Coffs hinterland.Secluded and the serenity is incredible if you just want to escape life's pressures.The hosts are lovely people and are there if needed but stay hidden otherwise to give you privacy.A lot of thought has gone into making the cabins an individual themed experience.

2/10 Poor

There was no-one at the property to let me into my cabin (6:00pm). All attempts to contact the hotel were futile so I had to leave and find alternative accommodation. It took them nearly 24 hours at acknowledge the problem. For a business that is in the service department, there was none. Steer well clear of this amateurish set up.

Everything you could ask for
Loved everything about Friday Creek Retreat. The cabins and surrounding property are spectacular. Location is great, so secluded yet so close to Coffs Harbour. Perfect for any season with the rolling hills, swimming pool, wood fires... plus very accommodating of dogs. The little touches for the themed cottages are just great and the hosts were also great. Photos don't do it justice.
