When working In the dorrigo area Maria's place was the only one available at the time, wasn't our crew lucky!!

Amazing accommodation that made us feel like we didn't put in 10hrs for the day after 10 minutes of relaxing after work.
Maria gave us with breakfast and the most amazing fresh produce and was more then accommodating for us throughout our extended stay.

Trout in the river!! Awesome place to wet a line.

Thank you Maria!!

My family and I had a wonderful time here. We loved being immersed in a beautiful and secluded retreat. The baths were a nice relaxing treat at the end of the day. We were even visited by a pair of wallabies! Maria is a great host and we will certainly be back again soon! Thanks for the wonderful stay.

Fabulous birthday weekend away. Great place to get away from it all and relax. Loads to explore within surrounding areas. Beautiful countryside, green hillside and lovely farms.
It was devine to lazy in the outdoor hot tubs beside my husband having a beverage and watching the sunset and then inside to lazy by the fireplace. Loved waking up each morning to the abundance of wildlife.
The Lodge was beautifully decorated and provided everything. loved the kitchen!
Great place to get a way from our busy lifestyle. The serenity was amazing like being in a little piece of paradise
Maria was a great host. Thank you!! Will definatele be back x

My partner and I whist we live in Dorrigo, wanted a get away from the norm! Dorrigo Bush Pepper Retreat was it… who could resist that outside double bath ? plus also knowing the host Maria as a lovely local, she also did a great job hosting the beautiful Retreat.

Chillin’ in the swing and hammock, seeing and listening to the wildlife. Getting to see the wild donkeys and blackberry picking on the bush walk to the gorgeous river. Hot baths under the stars and moonlight, kept the water in for a cold bath in the morning while wallabies visited. Such serenity. Peaceful, quiet and still. Cottage had all our needs.

We will stay again, maybe with the kids next time!

My partner and I stayed three delightful and relaxing nights at this lodge. The perfect place to switch off and tune in.

Most enjoyable to our stay was the close connection with nature at this off-grid lodge; the location is set less than an hour from several and varied National Parks including magnificent World heritage listed Gondwanan Rainforest. The property itself is beautiful and natural with plenty of bush and a river nearby. There is a well-kept lawn and playground for kids to play and the native plants and a pond brought a chorus of native bird and frog song. As for the dual outside baths – enjoying a hot soak next to your companion with a cool drink under the stars or sunset through the bush canopy is exactly as good as it sounds!

The lodge was well appointed and clean but also personal and homely with an inside fireplace, movies, comfy couches and bed, and a full kitchen including local eggs as fresh as it gets. The Host was communicative but left us in privacy as well – perfect for an uneventful stay.. Unfortunately we had some serious motor issues and here the host Maria and wonderful locals Jen & Kat went above and beyond, employing their local knowledge and network of exceptionally helpful friends to find a way to put us back on the road.

Dorrigo Bush Pepper Retreat is a fantastic place of both tranquil natural surrounds and generous hearts. Would recommend!!

Had the pleasure of staying at this amazing place for 2 nights. Wow. What more can we say. A fire set and ready to go, outdoor baths a highlight and amazing wild life. The setting is perfect to unwind and recentre. Maria's hospitality and little touches are second to none. Do yourself a favour and book a massage with Ben while you are there, pure magic. So hard to leave and head back to work

My daughter and I stayed 3 beautiful relaxing nights. The accommodation was clean and beautifully presented with a lot of homey touches. The bush setting is magical especially as the mist rolled in as we were in the out door bath tubs. We were so relaxed and at peace during our stay. A very healing and restorative time. I recommend this accommodation and we will definitely return.

Thankyou for creating such a peaceful and relaxing getaway Maria. The feeling in the lodge is a beautiful balance between bush charm and luxury appointments. The wood stove, already set and ready to light upon our arrival made the whole place cosy and comfortable. I have to say it was cleaned to an IMMACULATE condition. We love baths so the two outside baths with the starts overhead and lights twinkling in the trees were a magical touch.
