Bluegums Cabins Barrington Tops

A midweek getaway, the cottage was lovely, clean , quiet very relaxing if you need to get out of the rat race I highly recommend this . The abundance of bird life is a delight for any novice . The area also has a number of family friendly cabins and is a great spot for star gazing.

Location was absolutely beautiful place stayed a few days with family & friends. Cabin was lovely and spacious for 8 people with every thing that you need.. would absolutely book again.. Amanda was a lovely and helpful host.. can’t wait to visit again

In January I stayed at this hotel based on people’s reviews, the pics in the hotel’s website as well as the hotel’s star rating. Unfortunately, this was far from the truth as explained below: 1. Although the hotel places emphasis on their cabins, at this National Park you will find several cabins that are “private property” and do not belong to the hotel. Hence their emphasis on cabins being relatively far from each other. 2. Private check-in and check-out. This allows guests to arrive from 3pm onwards and get the key to the cabin from the key locker adjacent to the door. However, I was not provided with the access code to the key locker. Besides, when I arrived, I had no mobile reception and could not call the hotel’s manager. I decided to hack the code of the key locker since it was extremely hot on the day of arrival. Hacking was easy since you can learn it from You Tube. 3. After having my shower and rested for half an hour, I started to unpack my things. To my surprise I found out the cabin was not very clean: a. There were spider webs at the entrance door of the bathroom. b. There was dust inside both bedside tables. c. There were ants in the bathroom and in the lounge room. 4. The kitchen did not match my expectations as below: a. All pots showed their age and were due for renewal. Because of this, it was difficult to cook with suitable pans. b. The toaster also showed its age, and it was rusty inside. c. The kitchen’s range hood was greasy. d. Some plates and coffee mugs were dirty. e. The kitchen’s grill and oven also showed their age and were rusty inside. f. The fridge was handy but noisy. g. The cutlery was also due for replacement. 5. The kitchen also had olive and canola oil, as well as sugar, tea and coffee. Anything else, needed to be brought in by myself (i.e. Salt, Paper towel, etc). 6. The bed was quite comfortable. 7. The air conditioning was not a split unit. This meant that it was noisy inside the cabin when using it. The unit also showed its age. 8. The hotel provided shampoo, conditioner and body gel, as well as toilet paper and tissues. 9. There was also a 32” Kogan flat screen TV with a DVD unit. You could also watch TV channels and listen to the radio on the TV. Both TV and DVD units also showed their age. 10. The balcony had a nice view since the cabin was located on top of a small hill. Although I mentioned the cleanliness issues to the hotel manager, I was not provided with a better and cleaner accommodation. Any proper 5-star hotel would either give you an upgrade free of charge or your money back for all the inconvenience. In a nutshell, although the cabin was located close to nature, the accommodation was not a 5- star hotel. Hence, I would not recommend it.

Beautiful tranquil, nature at the door was wonderful relaxing experience. Cabin clean, 4 poster bed, beautiful wood fireplace a delight. the brownies an extra delicious treat. Great break from the city.

I had the most wonderful time here. Peaceful, breathtaking views, lovely walks on the estate, and snuggly behind the large glass windows whilst it stormed. Spotlessly clean, delicious brownie welcome.

Bed was too uncomfortable we messaged owner about checking out early but they didn’t respond to late so we had to stay another night then check out. Tv didn’t work properly so we couldn’t watch the movies we bought on the usb. Was nice enough place but smaller than I thought , and very overpriced.

If you want a place that offers solitude, heavenly peace and great relaxation in harmony with nature, don't look any further. This is the ultimate place to relax, meditate and enjoy nature at its best. There are some wonderful walks nearby, however a word of caution, don't try to drive unless you have an AWD or 4WD as the roads are gravelly and full of ruts.
