Our property near Dorrigo

Forest walks, creek and wildlife on our Deer Vale property

Person fishing in a river surrounded by lush green trees during sunset or sunrise.

Follow the forest walking tracks towards the creek, listen for birdlife and enjoy the quiet of the Dorrigo hinterland. The property is a place to slow down, explore and reconnect with nature. Enjoy creek walks and swimming when conditions allow. Fishing, birdwatching and time on the deck offer gentler ways to explore the property. Please take care around natural tracks and water, especially with children.

Walk, soak and reconnect with nature

Walk, soak and reconnect with nature

Bushwalk, ride, picnic or swim by the creek when conditions are suitable. Return to the lodge for the fire, birdsong and a soak in the twin outdoor mineralised baths. Meet the goats, pigs and chooks during guest animal feeding. Play family games or relax on the deck. End the day with a quiet meal by the fire and a night beneath the stars.

Twin outdoor baths beneath the stars

Let the day melt away in your own twin outdoor heated mineralised baths, with the forest around you and the stars above. The warmth of the water helps tired muscles relax after a day of walking and exploring. Add our bath salts for a soothing soak, breathe in the fresh evening air and enjoy a quiet moment together. Bathing beneath the night sky is a beautiful way to slow down, feel present and reconnect with nature.

The joy of evening animal feeding

There’s a simple joy in meeting our friendly goats, pigs and chooks. Join us for evening animal feeding and enjoy their curious personalities, playful moments and the smiles they bring to guests of all ages. It’s a chance to share a laugh, connect with farm life and make happy holiday memories together.

Animal feeding takes place in the evenings. Please book in with Jeff on 0407 469 464.
