Carpe Diem was a wonderful place to celebrate our 55th Wedding Anniversary in a truly 5 star Guesthouse. We had 4 wonderful days and nights here, giving us the opportunity to sample each of the 4 breakfast choices, a great way to start each day.|With the snooker/pool room for a couple of games, the library to stretch out and relax on, comfy lounges to take in the view of the surrounding countryside, the wood-fire to warm both the lounge area and dining room, plus of course whisper quiet wall heaters in the bedroom made of a very cost stay as winter commenced its' arrival.|The settings internal and the surrounding landscape made the complete package, although only 4Km from Tenterfield, there was no outside sounds to be heard at all.|Kathryn is a superb host, ensuring our comfort without being intrusive in any way.|Tenterfield itself is so full of history and and the countryside for bushwalking and self-drive outings makes it a perfect getaway.|Thank you Kathryn for creating this wonderful getaway.

We found Carpe Diem on Google looking for a place for one night passing through Tenterfield. We had been on the road for a week, and staying here was the highlight of our trip.
We could not have been more impressed. Kathryn welcomed us on arrival with the biggest smile. The fire cranking. On the table, the yummiest scones, cream, and jams I've ever had. Everything was made so easy. Just what we needed after a long day driving.
Kathryn uses all natural products throughout the accommodation. Everything is super clean and smells amazing. The accommodation has rain water throughout so your skin doesn't dry out like it does with town water. There's wallabies hopping around the gardens. It's so quiet and peaceful. It was the best nights sleep we'd had in a week.
The next morning, Kathryn arrived to cook our breakfast at our requested 7:30am. As with everything else at Carpe Diem, breakfast was also perfection.

I rarely ever write reviews. I drove away, saying to my wife, "That was one of the nicest stays I've ever had." She agreed and said, "You best write a review."

Kathryn obviously aims for perfection, and I think she has nailed it!

Thanks so much for looking after us, Kathryn. We couldn't recommend you more highly.

Amazing Stay!

We had the pleasure of staying in the Lawson room over Easter 2023 and it was such a treat!

From the beautiful long driveway, amazing views and the beautiful decor - this place was built with lots of little touches that makes it a real Tenterfield B&B experience.

And the best part of it was the hospitality by Kathryn and John. They made us feel very welcomed. On top of that they made beautiful home made breakfasts for us daily + dinner for one of the nights (see photos)

I will definitely be coming back and maybe trying the Cottage for the next round.

We have just had the most relaxing yet busy four days at this beautiful and will presented Guest House. Kathryn could not have been any more accommodating with her eye to detail, lovely breakfast, picnic lunch and of course her daily hints on what you could do within this beautiful landscape of Tenterfield.
Kathryn, you have the most beautiful venue and we will certainly be back for more.
Thank you so much for your hospitality.

We spent 2 nights at Kathryn's beautiful B &B guesthouse. Kathryn was so warm, caring and welcoming, providing advice and suggestions which we very much appreciated. She even booked dinner for us at the Commercial Hotel which was perfect.||We enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea on our arrival and the home cooked breakfast menu was terrific. ||Our room was lovely, the gardens and views amazing and Kathryn lit the wood fire for us so we never felt the cold.||Treat yourself to a luxury stay. You won't regret it.
