Beautiful getaway
The house was perfectly located within walking distance to the pool and tennis court. Great homely feeling from the moment you walk in the door. We had most meals on the spacious deck watching the kangaroos and birds. The hosts were wonderful ensuring we had all the creature comforts of home. Will definitely return for another family weekend.

Great country retreat
A big country house with all the comforts and facilities. We were a group of 3 couples who wanted a base to explore Dungog and the Barrington Tops from. Well equipped, warm in winter, cleaners did a great job in presenting the house. Quiet and peaceful.

Christmas at Bandon Grove
Our family came together from various parts of QLD and NSW for four days over Christmas. Bandon Grove provided all that we needed for preparing a celebratory feast with kitchen utensils, baking and serving dishes, wine glasses and plenty of room around the table in air-conditioned comfort. The oven lived up to expectations, cooking a magnificent pavlova as well as a delicious pork roast with crackling. The three bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and the huge bathroom provided a relaxing spa. Hikes and swimming in the nearby pool were enjoyable activities easily accessed. We had a wonderful time and hope to return at another time.

A comfortable house with all you need and wonderful views. A great variety of birdlife, many kangaroos and even an echidna in the surrounding bush. A fantastic place to relax. Michael and Robyn.
