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.

Quiet retreat into mountains Peaceful and secluded, take your food with you! Very comfortable. Lovely pool which we didn’t use due to the storm! Fantastic views and opportunity to relax and visit national parks including walking in the rain forest!

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.
