Ridgetop Hideaway - Dorrigo, New South Wales

Lou Walpole

We are incredibly grateful for our experience. What was meant to be a simple lunch and signing with close family turned into something beautiful and unique. Our intimate wedding celebration of 14 was perfect, thanks to the location, accommodation, the warmth of our hosts, and Dina's amazing food!

We loved that it was an "all-weather" venue, offering the flexibility to have our ceremony and lunch on the lawn, verandah, or inside by the fire, depending on the day's conditions.

As photographers who frequently shoot events and weddings locally, we find this venue fantastic for photos. The rolling hills and charming nooks provide excellent backdrops for portraits located right next to your long table style lunchtime set up, minimising the time you are away from your guests.

What an incredible place to stay! Nestled on a beautiful property in the pristine rolling fields of Dorrigo, Dina and Matt's two cottages are an absolute dream.

Highlights include waking up to the gentle rain on the tin roof, meeting Panini (the super cute pup), fresh eggs for breakfast and simply soaking up the breathtaking views.

If you're staying in Dorrigo, I can't recommend the Ridgetop Hideaway more.

Thank you Dina for your warm hospitality. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing place! Came here for a week away from the city and it was everything we needed. Quiet, serene, tranquil environment with amazing walks and animals right outside the door. Matt and Dina were very accommodating and left us to our own. Definitely will be returning next year. Can also see how the kids would love it too with Dina’s horses residing right next to the accommodation.

We stayed at this beautiful property for 2 nights. It was well appointed, comfortable, romantic with the great combustion heater and sweeping views over to the mountains from every angle.
It was very private and we would love to have stayed longer - this is a place we would love to return to.
We were provided with farm fresh eggs, bacon, homemade jam, fruit and organic butter. It was a home away from home (without the daily stresses)

This is a breathtaking spot looking out over rolling hills on the Dorrigo Plateau. The house has a fascinating story that Matt and Dina will share and it is the cosiest spot in winter. We spent a quilting weekend with a group of women. Relaxing and unique, lots of storytelling and so much to see around Dorrigo including Dangar Falls and Crystal Showers. Also the shops in town are fabulous, best kept secret I'd say. Plenty of choices for coffee and a meal out is great at the pub. Thanks Matt and Dina, we'll be back.

My husband and I can’t sing the praises of this piece of paradise enough. The views and surrounding countryside are incredibly beautiful. We woke every morning in our well equiped and generously sized cottage called ‘The garage’, to birdsong, amazing views and the sound of the wind in the trees - bliss! We spent a week here, exploring the nearby national parks, waterfalls and breathtaking scenery, coming home each evening to collapse in front of a warm fire and then dragging ourselves sleepily to our comfy cottage bed. We even caught a rainbow trout. The owners Dina and Matt clearly love their property and their accomodation. They keep them beautifully and have incredible knowledge of the area, its flora and fauna and which places are the most scenic and worthwhile to visit. You could not meet a more friendly and generous couple. We will be back with our children and grandchildren assoon a we can.

We stayed here for a long weekend and it was marvelous! The accommodation is gorgeous and full of many artistic features. The views are stunning and the caretakers are quite friendly. We will be back for sure!
