This a beautifully peaceful place. If you need somewhere to rest and recharge this is it. A lovely home with everything we needed. It has a really good kitchen and incredibly well stocked pantry. Heaps of living space. The gardens are always worth a stroll. Left here incredibly relaxed.

Beautiful property
We had a lovely stay - it’s beautiful in winter but must be even more so in Spring! The house was thoughtfully stocked with pantry items, fluffy towels and firewood. We made great use of the the lounge fire and outdoor fire pit. It’s a great spot to just relax and chill but close to Glenworth valley if you want to spend a day quad biking or abseiling. Mary was very accommodating of our requests and very quick to respond. Highly recommended!

Wonderful autumn getaway
Needed a little break during school holidays with our teens and it was exactly what I envisaged. Remote but still easily accessible charming country home with beautiful gardens and few things to explore on the acreage and its surrounds. Loved the fire pit, exploring the creek and its swimming holes, our cavoodle couldn’t resist a swim in them and the animals and the wildlife near by. We managed to do the Tree Tops as well as horse riding. Mary was lovely to deal with and left us detailed instructions and recommendations for walk.

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. It is a beautiful home that is really well appointed. A lovely kitchen in which it is a pleasure to cook. Perfect place for laying back, reading and strolling the gardens and watching the creek flow. An access point for the Great North Walk is only 20 minutes walk away. My second visit and it won't be my last.

Peace and Heavenly Tranquility
My family and I spent 6 nights at this amazing property over the New Year holiday period. If you are looking for a break away from the city’s noise pollution and want to unwind and calm your senses this is definitely the place! The property is set on acres of lush green and manicured gardens with a backdrop of elegant tall trees. There is an abundance of wild life and my children had fun collecting the fresh eggs every morning. My teenage son who is usually glued to his electronic gadgetry was happy to just roam around the property and did not seem to care much about his PS5 that he had brought with him. Mary and Allan were wonderful hosts. The communication was excellent and Mary went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was immaculate and clean with a fully equipped kitchen that we made good use of during our stay and a pantry of essential spices and goodies. Everything was well thought out! We would definitely recommend this property.

Perfection
Hard to know where to start, beautiful home set in the most amazing gardens. Welcoming, comfortable, spotless, divine linen, well equipped kitchen, fabulous fire place in a beautiful lounge area, peaceful environs, gorgeous gardens, abundant bird life, fresh eggs, milk, butter in the fridge, chocolates left for us to enjoy…you get my drift! Mary was the most accommodating host, we visited in a time of severe weather events (aka rain) but we were continuously updated regarding road conditions, before our arrival, during our stay and as we were preparing to leave…roads had deteriorated. Despite this we had the most wonderful stay. The home truly is beautiful and I loved the closeness to the city ( about 2 hours from Sydney) but the feeling of being a million miles away. Will definitely be back, hopefully in better weather. Thanks Mary for all your help and suggestions.😊

This is as peaceful as it gets. Set at the bottom of the valley with a creek running through the front of the property this is quite idyllic. Mary was a brilliant host. It is really great to arrive to find anything you might need in the kitchen. Very comfortable and really well organised. Lovely rooms and comfortable beds. It will be easy to return.

A paradise for birdwatchers
We loved staying at King tree cottage in early spring. We discovered that the cottage was a giant bird hide. We were visited by wonga pigeons, satin bowerbirds, a lyrebird, a raucous noisy friar bird, and myriads of smaller birds. In the background, the songs of magpies and bellbirds and the call of whipbirds. The house was warm and comfortable, with many signs of the care taken to make guests feel special. We loved the pretty Italian teacups - and the chocolate, and the fresh eggs from the resident chooks. Pots of fragrant herbs and spring flowers outside where we sat in the sun and watched the birdbath. Snowdrops and daffodils and huge expanses of green lawns. Our hosts took the trouble to leave suggestions for local walks where birds might be seen, as part of their pre-visit communication with us. We were lucky enough to meet Mary and Allan just as we were leaving, so were able to thank them for our stay in the beautiful haven they have created.

If you are looking for a tuck away place to relax and unwind, I highly recommend the Kingtree Cottage. It’s a beauty. Warm, comfortable and inviting surrounded by nature. Watching the fire, gazing at the stars, observing the leaves falling from the trees, listening to the birds singing, staring into the darkness and wholesomeness of the forest at night is so purifying and melts everything else away. Thanks for the caring hosts Mary and Allan.

Easter getaway
The house and the grounds are beautiful and the home is extremely well appointed. We were lucky with the weather - it was sunny all long-weekend. The kilometre-long access unsealed road to the property had suffered significantly as a result of the torrential rain a few weeks earlier - and it was a bit scary navigating our cars through some fairly significant ruts, keeping our fingers crossed our low-suspension vehicles would not get bogged! Overall, we highly recommend the property as a weekend getaway, and if you have a 4WD, bring it!
