Summary: Blue Gum Retreat was perfect for a week away with friends. The house was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped for our group of 7. We all loved sitting outside just looking at the view and relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. We made use of the pizza oven, the fire pit and the ping pong table. It's the perfect place to unwind and stay put or explore the many beautiful local areas. We didn't want to leave. Alison was delightful and very helpful. Highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back.

Summary: We had the best time at the property. We are a super busy family for five, and we came for three nights and did not leave the property. It was such a nice time to disconnect. Its super private and you have the outdoor fireplace, two indoor fireplaces and heating in the bathroom floors. There's a table tennis table and all the facilities you need for a family. We loved our stay here and didn't want to leave. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Summary: We had a lot of fun at Blue Gum Retreat. We relaxed, read, listened to music, slept well and had fun together at the house and the surrounding area. We ate at home alot because of the fantastic views of the valley and mountains and outside furniture. Lawn games were fun on the lawn like bocce or Kubb. We also cooled off at the nearby Never Never Creek or a surf at at Hungry Head, a bush walk, or the awesome shops and cafes at Bellingen. We will be back!

Summary: Can't fault it. The location is spectacular, beds super-comfortable with beautifully laundered white bed linen , the kitchen well furnished with everything you could possibly imagine, and there's space to get away from people if you felt the need (we didn't !). The outdoor furniture was also lovely and comfortable and endless hours were spent looking out at the magnificent view. There was a power outage (nothing to do with the property) and Alison was quick to respond with instructions on what to do. I loved it - what more can I say

Summary: This place is one of the nicest VRBO homes we have stayed at. It sits on a large piece of land away from everyone. My grandsons loved riding their bikes up and down the mowed hills. The inside of the home is large and interior is mostly wood. Nice kitchen with all the extras. Great beds - fireplace, wood stove, and so much more. Kids have plenty to do there too. Super internet (Starlink) I can't say enough good about this place and if I come back to Australia would book it again.

Summary: A great house with four very comfy beds/bedrooms, stunning wood features and beautiful floors…. We were cozy on the huge lounge in front of the fireplace. The view from the outdoor table or the firepit chairs is just so gorgeous and peaceful…. Already planning another trip with our husbands so we get to use the outdoor pizza oven and table tennis table and the trampoline that we didn’t have time for this trip!Great vege garden (they ARE chillies, not baby capsicum ) and orchard we were encouraged to help ourselves to.I can imagine it would be a lovely cool oasis in the summer, and its a nice walk down to the NeverNever creek. Alison was really responsive to any questions
