Friday Creek Retreat

What an absolute delight! We arrived in the rain as Cyclone Alfred was loitering off the coast of southern Queensland. We accepted Paul's offer to make pizzas with the green prawns and mozarella we had picked up on our way and, as the rain continued, we shared life stories and pizza and wine by the pool ... which was overflowing by this time! A loaf of fresh bread under an umbrella was deliverd by Celine the next morning. We stayed for three nights as the weather worsened, and Paul and Diane stayed in touch making sure we were ok, and offering top-ups of food (and wine!) if needed. Our cottage was gorgeous, beautifully appointed, a very comfortable bed, wifi, a more than adequate kitchen, and a spa bath. We even managed a load of washing and drying (free) in the community facility by the pool. Our little puppy Lilly, enjoyed romping around in the wet grass, accompanied by songs from the birds which took shelter from the rain on our covered verandah. We would absolutely return, and highly recommend this beautiful hideaway.

Poor show Friday creek retreat … middle of a cyclone / flooding and unsafe to access your property for a wedding… vendors pulled out for safety reasons… and you refused to offer a refund to the bride and groom! Well done …. I highly recommend anyone planning a special occasion chooses another venue.

We recently enjoyed a wonderful 3-night getaway that was truly a breath of fresh air. The place was beautifully presented, creating a serene atmosphere that felt miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was incredibly relaxing and peaceful, allowing us to unwind completely. We were delighted by the abundance of butterflies and wild birds that surrounded the area, adding to the natural beauty. To top it all off, We even had a charming visit from a possum, which made the experience even more special. Overall, it was a perfect escape, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to recharge in a tranquil setting.

Friday Creek Retreat is like a home away from home. It is an amazing place to relax, recharge and slow down. The beautiful relaxing setting in the country, the privacy, the cabins, and the amazing pool area just perfect for unwinding. The wonderful Hosts allow you to feel like you’re the only people there in your little cabin and help to make it a totally relaxing time. We are absolutely going to make it a regular getaway.

Cabin was clean and tidy. Great location with amazing mountain views from verandah. Diane and Paul were friendly and helpful when we needed to change our dates . Will be coming back again. Perfect short break to recharge batteries . Was also perfect space for our puppy to stay with us too

This was our third visit to Friday Creek Retreat (and our friends’ fourth), and it has become one of our favourite places to visit. Dianne and Paul go out of their way to ensure we have a pleasant and relaxing stay. The ‘Tribal Cottage’ was nice and warm upon our arrival, and a lovely ‘Welcome Back’ message with a freshly baked loaf of bread and a bottle of wine was really appreciated. We prefer the cooler months so we can enjoy the atmosphere of an open fire. However, the warmer months are also great for spending time around the pool, which has amazing views over the farm and the valley beyond.
