Tuckeroo Cottages. a really wonderful spot and excellent ‘Top of the Range’ accommodation. Helpful hosts, sunsets that you can only dream about and pure tranquility. Highly recommended. Mike and Sue Reed, Hereford, England.

Thank you Mike and Gail for a wonderful Easter Retreat at Tuckeroo Cottages. We have had an absolutely fantastic time recharging our batteries. We loved the mountain views and the bushwalking. We saw a family of 7 King parrots feeding in the wild, a koala whilst trekking down to the river on the river walk and were fascinated with a number of other birds we also saw. We found ourselves a huge rock overlooking a gully and some bush and just sat and took in Mother Nature at her best and her wonderful surrounds.

We highly recommend this facility as a great escape and chance to unwind from today’s hectic lifestyle. The peace and tranquility offered by the bush walk and river track will recharge even the most run down batteries. We certainly did not want to come home and will return soon. Henry and Kaye.

Thank you for all the care given to our comforts. The camp oven leg of lamb dinner was a hugh success - such gravy .. I’ve never had before! So relaxing. Di. We really had a good time and will recommend you to others. Gordon.

What a great spot you guys have here - it’s amazing. We had a wonderful walk with your dogs - they are the coolest. Next time I’m here I’m bringing 2 big bones for them. The cabins are the best. Alex & Mell

A short verse by Mike:-

"No waking up to man made noise
 Just the birds and their cries
 Open your eyes and you will see
 A place of total tranquility
 Clouds on mountains
 Air so clear
 For the rest of our lives
 We could live here".
