Beautiful drive to get here. A bit of a shop and can buy a coffee & snacks plus lavender products of course. The lady and her granddaughter were great to chat to. There is an area to park your camper/caravan which would be nice and quiet.

Lovely place to stop. They have home produced products. Although we didn't indulge the scones and icecream looked delicious!

Very friendly host and staff!! Great shower and toilet facilities. I would recommend this place to people who wants to relax and enjoy the calmness of nature without the hassel of bring, setting up, and packing away own shower/toilet facilities. They also have nice fire pits you can use and free suply of firewoods! I would also like to share my experience here: The battery went dead for me car on the first night during my stay there. As Mick started the day and drove by my camp, he greeted me and asked how I was going for the first night. I told him that my battery had died and that I might have to ring the road site assistance to come and change my batter for me. Mick kindly helped me checked the status of my battery and jumped started my car. He recommended me to go to Stenthorpe to buy a new battery and offered to swap it for me; what a wonderful guy! I eventually drove to Warwick to find a Supercheap Auto to sort out my battery since I wanted to visit some places and needed to get some supplies anyway. Overall, the 5-day stay experience is exerllent. Highly recommended!!

In my honest opion I have more lavender in my pot puri in my dunny. This place is a complete waste of time and not worth the diversion off the highway. The most exciting thing about this place is avoiding the the pot holes on the driveway.

We camped here over the Easter break. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the grounds were well maintained. There is a toilet and shower block within a minute or so walk of the farthest camping site. Only missing a communal camp kitchen, however at the price point it is and considering how much room we had available to us, it was well worth not having that amenity. There wasn't a small designated space and we felt far enough away from other campers.

We were greeted by a lovely elderly lady at the door. That was lovely. The gift shop was cute. I loved their Aprons and bought Lavender earl grey tea. It is so nice to sip at night and relax. Thankyou for this brew. Will visit again 😊

A lovely cafe and gift shop tucked away in the countryside. The scones were delicious. Prices were very reasonable for a family run business. Had a homely feel with a cat and dog roaming around and the owner is always up for a chat!

First time in Stanthorpe, a beautiful park can walk around,lovely walking paths and a great location.

A very friendly man helped us with great local knowledge. Scribbled on a map all the things he thought we would enjoy visiting. Buy some duck feed and feed the ducks!

If you're looking for friendly, local knowledge and advice on what to see and do around Stanthorpe and the surroundingarea, you'd be hard pressed to find nicer, more helpful service anywhere. And... if you're travelling with your fur baby, don't worry, they're very welcome and may be treated like royalty too.

Lovely ducks to say hello too a peaceful park to eat lunch. You can purchase duck food at the information centre for $2 a bag....please don't feed them breads and rubbish.

Really nice, no complaints. You can fish the lake! Nice area for the family and kids to run around. Snacks, drinks and clean facilities. Friendly volounteers. My little one didnt want to leave, restful stop and not bad coffee.

Gentlemen Glen & ladie (forget her name) both are star 🌟 of this information centre we very polite & so much helpful as we came here for Apple festival. Both explained very well with details of step by step to go places around Stanthorpe. Yes thank you for duck food for feeding ducks our kids enjoyed a lots with ducks at river & sharing grapes 🍇 too

The volunteer was a huge help in giving us idea of things to do in Stanthorpe. With maps and brochures it helped make our visit as good as it was. Located right next to the park with the giant thermometer.

Amazing granite boulders and views. Took the "easier" slower Bungoona walk up to the Summit - then the very steep but quick descent back down the granite wall. Challenging on the knees but doable.

A beautiful walk, the grade 5 bit is very steep. I recommend sturdy boots with good grip. Wattle was out and the little purple flowers too. Gorgeous! Track is well maintained.

Making our way along the various tracks in Girraween NP was amazing. I've never hiked in the Granite Belt before and the more we elevated it offered more discoveries and eventually an incredible view...what I loved the most was sitting amongst the 🐝 Spring was alive and the weather truly beautifully 🌎⛰️🧭🥾😎

Very pleasant place and adventurous. You need to go on a clear day where there is no chance of rain. We need to come back from the mid because of rain. Nice place to go with family and fried

Fantastic walk. Take the long way around - the Bungoona walk, either up or down for impressive granite boulders and cave like walk-throughs. The summit is spectacular. A great place to rest and take in the views before the descent.

Did the base walk. Easy to push wheelchair (gravelly path) up to the base then there's a few rocky steps up to actual rock base.

What an awe-inspiring little hike; I totally loved this! You can be bold and brave and head straight up the rock face or you can take the gentle route to the Summit via the Bungoona track. Either way the views are simply stunning. About 3km in total. Truly, it's nature at her best. Easily accessible via the New England Highway and ample parking with toilets and picnic facilities.

Recently walked to granite arch and the junction. Beautiful and easy walks with so many lovely native plants to enjoy. The creeks were running high which was nice. While headed first toward the pyramids, I knew I didn’t want to do that walk having done it a couple of times in the past I wasn’t keen to scramble up a granite rock. While other enjoyed the challenge a smaller group broke off to enjoy a more leisurely walk. Great signage at the start of the walk making it easy to plan your walk.

Gorgeous natural park. We stayed at Girraween National Park for a couple of nights to explore the area. What a quiet, beautiful, peaceful place to camp! Clean camping areas with amenities blocks. We did the walk around the park. And explored surrounding areas. Stunning sunsets at night to sit back and enjoy.

Ticketed off the bucket list Friendly park ranger, well looked after and great tracks. Loads of signs for ease when walking. The main attraction for me was the pyramid to balancing rock and it was awesome Make sure you have great shoes with grip and aren’t scared of heights.

The Pyramids is an insane hike. Not for the faint hearted. The stairs are never ending and then its on to the steep rock face climb. Its very challenging but so rewarding! (If you're a fitness fanatic you'll be fine) its do-able for moderate fitness level but its tough. Plenty of areas to stop to catch your breath though. View at the top is absolutely amazing. Don't attempt this if your scared of heights.

Beautiful national park with great camping areas for caravans ,tents etc . Lots of birdlike and kangaroos and wallaby. Amazing scenery, walks , waterways and swimming. Lovely in spring with the wildflowers.

There is so much to see here. Great bush walks, both for easy or hard. Rock formations are incredible to see. Beautiful scenery and water holes. Cold in winter. Short drive from Stanthorpe. Heaps of parking and good directions to walking tracks.

Me and my throuple loved Girraween. There are plenty of moderate walks with amazing views. Some of the boulder formations are truly mind boggling. I just wish the visitor centre had a water fountain.

An absolutely amazing experience. We went for an afternoon wine tasting and the scenery and wine were both amazing. We had the most fantastic server named Joel. He shared his passion for wine making and made us all feel comfortable and welcome. We all chose this experience as our highlight of our trip, we will definitely be coming back and requesting Joel as our wine server!

This winery was recommended by the owner of a coffee shop in Stanthorpe. We only had time to visit a few wineries. So glad we visited here. An authentic family run winery. We were hosted by Ray the wine maker and 3rd generation family member. Sampled 6 beautiful wines with passionate knowledgeable descriptions from Ray. Sitting outside in their gardens, looking over the vines and mountains in the background. I would find myself drifting into memories of drinking wine in Tuscany. What a great experience. Grab some bottles of wine to go packed with wonderful memories of a passionate family ran winery. A must visit.

Some lovely wines and gorgeous atmosphere. The plater was generous and the fire nice and toasty! Such a delightful winery 🙏🏽

We had a fantastic wine tasting; the two of us going through a shared tasting of six wines from their current list. All of them were first rate (88-92 on my 100-point scale), with the Shiraz/Durif blend and Durif (Petite Sirah in the US) really standing out. After a large group left, we had a great conversation with Grace and Sam; very friendly and welcoming folks. We liked the wines so much, we went back the day we left Ballandean and bought a few more bottles! Tasting costs $10, but waived on wine purchase. Really reminded me of small California wineries that my father used to go to when I was young (1970-80s); family run wineries where one tastes and decides whether or not to buy their product, rather than being mostly a "tourism enterprise".

Ray and co / team (young apprentice that we didn't catch the name of sorry!) - amazing wines, so much knowledge / chat and such a great experience. Would highly recommend! So glad we got to experience Golden Grove.

The review following was from our visit in 2024. We were so impressed we came back again in July 2025 and the 2024 review is still applicable. A great afternoon. Very interesting wines including some made with grapes not so well known in Australia but coming from Sicily are well adapted to the changing climate. Our tasting was conducted by winemaker Ray and was highly informative and engaging. A generous sized, shared platter of food, complemented the wines. All in all, a most enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommended.

An amazing time today with my husband Colin and our niece Kaileen. A great discussion about trials and tribulations of grape growing with the winemaker. Highly recommend Golden Grove Wineyard.

Fantastic wine tasting with a very knowledgeable host who walked us through many of the rarer 'Strange Bird' varieties unique to the Region. Beautiful selection of whites and reds - my friends bought 4 bottles to go!

Ballandean Estate Wines is Queensland’s oldest family-owned winery! We visited for wine tasting and it was very good, their wines are top notch 🍷and the young guy did an excellent wine tasting presentation. The sparkling and Saperavi were some of my favourites. There is so many cool things to do and see in the Granite Belt region and this Winery should be on your list. We look forward to returning 😁

Thank you Lizzy for your great customer service. Your knowledge on the wines we tasted was fantastic. The platter you made up for us was just amazing. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic wine-tasting experience. We showed up without an appointment and they were quite busy. Nevertheless, their customer service was impeccable. We tried quite a few wines we hadn’t heard of before (strange birds) and bought quite a bit. Amazing how much good service makes a difference.

Lovely wine tasting experience. Very popular winery. Staff member was friendly and knowledgeable but busy trying to manage 3 wine tasting groups at the same time. Grazing platter options available. Toilets on site and parking available.

Came here for the wine toasting and charcuterie board (pre-ordering is recommended). Was not disappointed and could absolutely not fault a single thing on the board. As we came in midweek it was quiet so the ladies were more than happy to have a chat and let us know which different brands of salami, Prosecco, condiments and cheeses were on the board. We had our own choice of four wine tastings, and I actually bought all 4 bottles. Could not fault the wines. The decor was awesome with wine barrels and cosy seating. Fabulous experience and well worth the money because the quality was exceptional.

Fantastic winery with lots on offer. Great range of reds, whites, tawny port and liqueur muscat. First winery in the Stanthorpe area - family owned (5th generation). Well worth a visit for tasting.

Free entry & great memorabilia. Located just off the main street. Lovely man made our visit warm & inviting.

Great historical store. Elderly gentleman has some great stories to tell. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and history. Purchased a beautiful bag, an absolute treasure.

Nice place for history and learn how the past was. Never forget his or re-write it. We remember and move forward. This is little peace of Australia history and the volunteers are awesome and full of the knowledge

Very interesting history of the man and his trade. Lovely volunteer there to answer any questions. Be aware NOT OPEN Mondays and Tuesdays

Centrally located in town, amazing piece of history. Free to enter.

Visited this beautiful little town last week. The locals were so warm and welcoming. It was so nice to see the history that has been displayed at Tenterfield Saddler.

The song lured us there and the saddles and other history made it worth the stop.

Very informative, helpful staff. Worth the cheap entry fee to see and feel the history of our country. Good displays and artifacts. Clean, modern facilities with a cafe attached that we did not try but it looked nice.

Great place to visit while in town. The Cafe also has good coffee. This place is important in our history.

Beautiful historical building and informative museum. Free entry. Nice to learn more about some Australian history. Cafe and toilets on site. Museum entrance is via the cafe. Parking on surrounding streets.

Barbara who works there gave us really interesting insights into the building, the museum and some local history. She was quite knowledgeable and patient and warm, which we really appreciated. The hall where we were supposed to hear Sit Parkes’ speech didn’t work well - the speech was playing intermittently, you hear two sentences then there is silence of a few minutes then another sentence or two.

Got to learn about one of the early political greTs. Lots of information and good to see. Can breeze though it but if you can save some time as lots to read and see

Great show. Really welcoming good venue. Really good venue, friendly staff and facilities. Livvy and Pete were great. Well done to the duo. Band were great. Lighting and audio great.

For anyone interested in Australian history and our federation this is a must see. Very informative and a credit to the staff and volunteers that keep this important part of our Australian heritage alive! I even managed to see a current release movie in the Theatre.

Amazing volunteers were so very helpful. The gentleman went the extra mile to deliver brochures to the caravan park.

Very grateful to Bruce for sharing his vast knowledge of not only Tenterfield but also other local towns. Thanks to him, we have seen and enjoyed many more places of interest than we would have otherwise. Bruce is a million times more helpful than Google could ever be.

Very informative. Friendly staff. When we asked what is there to to in Tenterfield? The lady said "lots of things to do here"! She pulled out a map..gave us a guide and off we went!! 1st stop museum..very informative. Coffee shop ..lovely little hub. Lots of people, friendly people. Recommended visit.

Very helpful staff who knew what they were talking about and gave us a lot of information and explained everything clearly.

A great place to visit and to a special person Bruce who shared with me a wealth of steam train photos on a usb he gave me many thanks and i highly recommend a visit to this place and town.

Lady was soooooo helpful re local services and advice about scenic drive I wanted to take.

Very knowledgeable and friendly volunteers, lots of maps and brochure on offer. Some cards and local handcrafted items on sale.

Wow! The volunteers were extremely helpful and a true asset to Tenterfield. They were super friendly and knowledgeable. What a lovely experience, thank you for being so welcoming! We will be back

Am sure the people at the centre do a great job however our sole purpose for overnighting in Tenterfield was to visit the Saddlery. We arrived on advertised hours and unfortunately it was closed. Feel perhaps if this happens, maybe someone from the Centre could open. After all, majority of people visiting from afar, do so because of the Saddlery history, thanks to Peter Allen.

Spent about 2.5hrs having a really good look around and reading about all of the history involved. Highly recommend seeing the great work that the volunteers do to restore and maintain the displays. Could easily spend more time there.

Fabulous and affordable little railway museum with some interesting displays and historical information regarding past railway activities in the region. Very interactive and engaging. Kindly run and cared for by a wonderful group of volunteers selflessly giving their time and skillset to this little museum.

Very helpful & informative staff who took the time to explain all that the Museum offered. Its a wonderful historical snapshot & all who have been involved should be proud of their work. The Dog Box restoration is a fantastic example of the challenges the volunteers have faced. A personal discovery was finding a manufacture plate from the Chullora Per Way Workshops - where my father worked for 44 years.

A wonderful way for spend an hour or 2. Such a great collection of historical artifacts and beautifully restored rail carriages. Staff were very friendly and informative. They are clearly passionate about rail history. The gardens on the platform were also incredible. Well worth a visit!

A great little gem for Tenterfield. Very pleasant and helpful staff, volunteers. Strange thing is they have to apply to two different Govt. departments if they need to move a carriage. The rails are heritage listed. ' ain't bureaucracy great."

Green little find of restored railway machinery. Great work by the volunteers who have a passion for their town. Staff super friendly and full of knowledge. A must to visit.

Amazing. Really well maintained. Heaps to see. Restored rolling stock you can walk through to historic photos.

Only did a day visit but it looked like a great park with a well stocked shop. Dam looks great and obviously his fishing from all the photos on display

This is our first time to this dam and we stayed 7 nights on a powered site. There is no dump however you can use the parks toilets (well maintained). Plenty of wild life around the park, kangaroos, goats and birds. Every site has its own fire pit and there is plenty of firewood supplied. If you love fishing there is plenty of that also.

Our first time to Glenlyon Dam. We had a great lunch from the kiosk, then drove down to water level. It is only 4% capacity at the moment, but heard a local man say 10 Murray Cod were caught today. So great place to picnic, camp, caravan, fish or just come for a look. It would be fantastic to see it when it is full. Come and see for yourself!!

Roo's and more Roo's, Echidna's even. Beautiful quiet as spot ammenities clean and staff great. Very relaxing place. Cell service and data with Telstra and Optus.

I would say one of the best fishing dams in Queensland

Best suited to fisherman but very nice in general with speckled views over the dam from most sites. Lot's of kangaroos, goats and some interesting Birdlife. Huge cod at the dam wall at certain times of the year. Peaceful and generally quiet.

Close to nature, close to kangaroo...

An absolutely awesome museum! From sparkling minerals and military displays to old history, photographs, and more – there’s something fascinating around every corner. It’s a bit like the TARDIS: it looks small from the outside but once you step in, it just keeps going with hidden rooms and surprises. A must-visit for anyone passing through Emmaville!

The most amazing collection I have seen for a long time. A $2 entry and it is run by volunteers with affordable pieces for sale. If you like rocks this is a must see.

First time there a couple of weeks back. I have never been into a museum like this one! There are so many gems and minerals! They have one of the best most beautiful collection I have ever seen. The staff there are kind and love to answer questions too! So much knowledge. Will not disappoint!

Fantastic work by the local community for the displays and setup of the museum absolute gem to vist

$2 coin donation. Massive collection of gems and stones plus others sheds dedicated to historical Australia. Very cool the way this friendly town has pooled their collective history together.

This museum was so much more than just a mining museum. Although it had an extensive collection of rocks and crystals it also houses a breathtaking recollection of the families of the area. A trip outside to the small village takes one around a saddlery, a dressmaker, a bakery and a machinery shed. Don’t be fooled by this museum’s humble outside it’s well worth the trip.

If you’re ever in the area you need to stop in to Walk through this amazing museum looks are so deceiving it looks small but it goes on forever. An amazing array of gemstones. This little town Emmaville has so much history the volunteers that run the museum have put an amazing lot of artifacts from the mining era together. If you will really want to read everything you will need at least 2 to 3 days to go through everything. An Entry fee of $2 you will be blown away with what you can see and learn about this amazing little town.

This is a fantastic place and worth a visit. There are lots of tables around for picnics and plenty of room for dogs and travellers with caravans etc There is a beautiful walkway just above to walk around and view the town and surrounds. However the best part is the Crafters Cottage onsite with the best coffee in the area. The barista there is Thai and a fantastic artist with her designs on the top of each coffee. There is a nice fireplace inside the cafe and lots of outdoor sitting areas if you have a dog with you. The new playground equipment for kids is excellent and there are plenty of new toilets The cafe is open from Wednesday to Sunday. Of course the Standing Stones are a huge highlight. Whilst in town, don’t forget Sweaties Pies, which are renowned to be the best anywhere. The coffee downtown is generally very ordinary.

Fab place to visit and I was really touched that the Celtic peoples who settled here bringing their knowledge and skills have been honoured and memorialised is such a manner. It’s definitely worth a visit. I was particular fascinated that the sun dial told the time perfectly 👌

Amazing monument to the early settlers of the area. Created in 1991/92, the Australian Standing Stones in Glen Innes Highlands is the national monument to Celtic people, past and present. The Stones acknowledge the contribution to Australian culture made by people from the Celtic nations of Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, the Isle of Man and Brittany.

Has changed a bit since we where through 3yrs ago, new sword , kids play area and pretty sure loos are newish too. Either way good suss out and good pet friendly stop / area walk around

Worth a stop just to read the story of what they are and why they are there. Don't forget to go up the hill behind it for a scenic outlook.

Lovely spot, clean bathrooms, interesting activities nice for a picnic or the Cafe. Well worth a stop in.

Every time I go to Glen Innes I hang out up here It's a great spot!!

Called in this morning to get some advice on things to do in Glen Innes during our stay. The man behind the counter did not look up from his computer, did not offer a greeting or acknowledge I'd come into the centre. I eventually said good morning so he definitely knew I was looking around. I gathered what info I could from the pamphlets and left. Still no offer of assistance from the man sitting behind the counter. Not a great introduction to this lovely town.

Very helpful staff with good knowledge of the area.

Just spoke with Fred Blair at the information centre and he was a wealth of information, planned our next three days on his information and recommendations. Fantastic service, thanks Fred.

Excellent information and friendly greeting on arrival. Lots of helpful local information.

Great place with lovely staff who are very informative.

Dropped in for information, we were helped by friendly staff, great amenities here, clean & modern

Extremely helpful staff, they have a beautiful range of Celtic jewellery, and gorgeous stuffed toys, aboriginal art pieces, such as jewellery and scarves and allots of tartan nik knacks. We were given so much information on what was to be seen and done in Glen Innes, most helpful and friendly information centre I have attended.

Extremely delicious, very rich. We shared a large strawberry shake ( it was a generous large) and a strawberry and cream scone which was a very slightly stale but otherwise good. We couldn't finish the shake, it was super sweet and we were all sugared out - but it was great and would order it again for sure!

Delicious fresh strawberries! Great spot to have a break. Play area for children. Plenty of parking, nice food, great coffee. Inside and outside sitting areas. 🍓 yum!

Loved this little roadside store/cafe/gift shop. Had fresh strawberries in three size options plus strawberry pancakes, shakes etc. Had a fantastic variety of jams, vinegars, chutnies, sauces, soaps, gifts etc Also had a small amount of clothing outside. Outside toilet facilities simple but clean and presentable. Inside seating for eating. Parking was fine.

Always stop in here over the years for a freshly made strawberry milkshake, and this visit will keep us coming back. Very efficient service, lovely friendly new ? owners and still the most delicious real strawberry milkshake ever. The large size each filled us for lunch, but the food being delivered to other customers looked good.

Very friendly staff and the most delicious strawberry milkshake I have ever had. The ham, cheese and tomato toasty was so yummy. This is one of our favourite stops whilst heading along the New England Highway.

Great spot for a pit stop. Wonderful food and drinks and friendly staff. I bought some jam and loved it!

I ordered an iced chocolate and the milk wasn't cold at all, no ice either. Service was very slow even though there were no customers at the time.

We had a wonderful day fossicking at 7Oaks. The set up was great! Had a picnic under the trees - water & dunny's supplied! Found a few sapphires - not good enough to retire on - but it was fun looking. Many thanks for a great day. :)

I loved my bush camping experience at 7 Oaks. The fossicking is easy and very organized and everything you need is supplied for you. There are toilets and a hot shower. The saprires are beautiful and plentiful.

As always it was a great out and it was nice to find some 'cutters'. Very pleasant surroundings with basic amenities.

Its closed. Went all the way their. Waste of time. They sold it

Place is closed.

Green valley farm is such a special place - you’ll only really understand the magic once you’ve gone! Family owned and run, this place is a hidden little gem in such a beautiful location! There is the option to either camp or stay in a cabin (air conditioned/heated), the scenery is pure Australian bush, the park has its own little cafe that makes the best thick shakes!, a cute little farm experience with animals, and lots of little rides around the park. The entire vibe of the place really emphasises good old fashion innocent family fun. My family have been going for 20 years and will continue to go for another 20

Loved the museum so much diversity and a cool layout, somthing for everyones interests also free access before park at a friendly $15. The park has a great assortment of quality old style ride equipment, that even teenagers can enjoy. And variety of animals to see and feed.

We stayed at Green Valley Farm over the long weekend and had a fantastic time from start to finish. Right from our first communication, Kathy went out of her way to accommodate our large family and make sure everything was perfect for us. The farm itself is absolutely beautiful, and with five kids, we were never short of things to do. The holiday cabin was small but felt surprisingly spacious and comfortable, with a kitchen that had just what we needed without feeling cluttered. All the staff were lovely and so friendly — it really made the stay extra special. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to provide a little map or guide around the property. On our first day, we weren’t quite sure where everything was, and we didn’t realise we could walk through the “private area” to see the animals until we saw others doing it. The prices throughout the farm were fantastic, too. Even the coffee was reasonably priced — standard prices, not inflated like you sometimes find at holiday spots. We would absolutely love to return one day and do it all over again!

It was cool, it was quirky and I love the history and story of GVF & how it's all family ran. We camped for 3 nights but I feel as though there just weren't enough amenities for all the campers & powered sites were a bit on top of each other. My 17 & 15yos weren't allowed to supervise my 10yo while I prepped lunch and dinner & nursed an injured foot but the teens were allowed at enter on their own. The kiosk food was the BEST takeaway we've eaten in a long time. As a family we rate GVF 3 out of 5 stars.

2nd time here for a weekend ADV bike event, this place is a well oiled machine and it shows, everyone that runs the place put in a pretty good effort from Fri night to sun morning everything is taken care of and all facilities are tip top absolutely nothing to complain about at all .. Awesome location awesome staff and the food (i was never hungry) keep up the good work see you next year 🙏

WOW! What an Amazing place! Our first time to Green Valley Farm was for the Adventure Moto Dirty Weekend Event 2025 and we had a Cracker of a time. The camping grounds and facilities were 10 out of 10. I highly recommend this place for families and events. Well done to everyone involved in running this farm 👏

Animals and staff are super friendly and the waterpark is great fun. We enjoyed a very wholesome family weekend. Thank you Green Valley Farm, we will be back!

Great Devonshire tea for only $5! Interesting museum, entry is $3. Friendly volunteers.

It's well worth the stop to go back in time and look around, excellent tea and scones

If only we had more time. It closes at 1:30 SATURDAYS (Not 3pm as previously advertised). Run by volunteers - make sure you try their great value Devonshire tea in this old world setting.

What a fabulous and interesting place ! If You are anywhere even remotely near the Township of Tingha, make the trip to visit. Really worth your time to experience and explore this eclectic museum. Step back in time and see how Australians used to work, shop and live. The volunteers are super friendly and a wealth of information and knowledge. The $4 admission price, would be the best value for money going around.

One of those quirky, eclectic, interesting, local museums that can be found in small towns. Run by long-term resident volunteers, who are very happy to share this collection and answer questions about Tingha history and tin mining. Have a Devonshire tea (probably the best scones I have eaten), really good value and must visit local museum.

Fantastic place to visit.best scones and lovely volunteers.

Absolutely a step back in time, wonderfully preserved by dedicated volunteers, fantastic place to stop and spend 30 mins looking around, have a cup of tea or coffee and then look some more.

Stayed at this free camp a night, get there, early could get busy. Beautiful view over duck ponds and golf course. Bbqs available and clean toilets, no showers. Quick walk into main street, bowls club over the road has food. Go to the car museum, only $2 entry. Cute little town.

We stopped here to use the dump point after having been off grid camping for a few days. The dump point was very accessible next to the toilet block, clean & neat with a hose pipe connected to a tap right next to the dump point for easy cleaning. A great facility!

Free camping. Close to the shops and cafes of Guyra and a lovely walk around the reserve. You are very close the the bowling club with two local supermarkets in town to stock up. Toilets and pump out available. Go check out the old station which has been kept fresh and the museum too. Currently the Lagoon is chockers with bird life now the Lagoon is full of water again. Come check it out especially at golden hour for all you budding photographers and it's awesome when the most and fog roll in. Sooo good to see it wet and wild.

Great place to camp. Free camp with, toliets ,bbq, dump point and water refill station. Guyra is a great little town to support. Motor museum for $2 entry an absolute must.

A great place to relax with birds around you. Today is a celebration of 50 years since the area was declared a national park.

Beautiful wetland, and you can walk for about 2km around the edge. We saw a huge variety of water birds, not just ducks but swans and ibises as well.

Loved this free camping spot. A stroll to public toilets but the camping area remained illuminated throughout the night. Clean drinking water also close by. Be aware the area was chilly in February being so high up.

Highly recommend doing the walk to Wollomonbi falls lookout! The views are wild (photos do not do them justice) 🏔️🌊 It's a very short walk from the carpark to the first lookout. The walk then continues to the base of the falls and then 2 more lookouts which are a bit further and uphill / downhill.

Amazing views of water falls and gouge. Incredible natural beauty. Beat when it's rains, water falls are awesome to see. So high, great walking tracks to see best lookouts. Walks are reasonable for most levels of fitness and suitable for children with supervision.

Beautiful views, easy walking tracks, and well signed. Nice picnic area at the top too.

Nobody can control the weather but only a dribble of a fall from the main lookout and nothing from the other lookouts. Otherwise nice area for a picnic. Didn't see any toilets

Pups and Park Rangers, New England National Park is a 5-Paw WOW-ZER! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ryder here, and wow-wow-wubbzy, New England National Park is PAW-SOME! Just say, "Ryder needs you, New England National Park!" and the PAW Patrol will be there - because this place is incredible! From the tippy-top of Point Lookout, the views are like, whoa! You can see everything! It's like Adventure Bay, but bigger and with even more trees! We used our pup-tags to zoom in and spot so many cool birds – bright blue ones, fluffy white ones, even some that sounded like they were laughing! Pup-tag zoom vision is the best for nature exploring! The walking tracks are super fun adventures! We hiked to waterfalls that were splash-tastic! Marshall even managed to stay dry for once (almost!). There are trails for every pup, big or small, and even some that are a bit challenging for extra adventure! Just be sure to bring your pup treats and water, Adventure Bay style! And the best part? It's full of amazing animals! We saw wallabies hopping around like they were in a bouncy castle, and so many colourful butterflies fluttering by! It's like a real-life jungle adventure, right here in New England! We even helped a little lost joey find its mum – teamwork makes the dream work! New England National Park is the perfect place for pups and people who love adventure and nature! It’s clean, it’s beautiful, and it’s got something for everyone! No job is too big, no pup is too small to have an amazing time at New England National Park! Definitely a 5-paw recommendation from Ryder and the PAW Patrol! Let’s go, go, go explore!

We walked half way down the gorge, a pretty steep track in places, but when we got to where wanted stop, the view was spectacular

Super easy to get to, and the views? Absolutely worth it. Just a friendly PSA for future visitors—or let’s say, a rant against the peeps that were present while we were there: this isn’t your private festival stage. Cranking EDM at 11 a.m. isn’t the vibe—people come here for tranquility, not to relive Coachella on a cliffside.

My first stop in Armidale was the information centre— lots of local information and friendly advice about the region and roads. Plenty of parking too. Next to fuel & food. Clean toilets, BBQ, kids playground nearby.

We went on their free heritage bus tour. Our tour guide was an older, long-term resident of Armidale. Very knowledgeable. We drove by lots of historical buildings. Most importantly, we were allowed into Booloominbah Historical Settler House in the University of New England, which is now used as an administration building at the university. This is the only way you can get into that house. Highly recommended. We gave a donation after the tour. The people inside the visitor center were also very helpful with advice.

We had a fantastic experience with staff here, we had a very passionate man (?Ethel) who explained the town and surrounds with such excitement that it got us excited to explore. What a great asset he is to the info centre!

Very helpful. We went on the mini bus heritage tour around Armidale and thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks Allan for your wonderful knowledge and driving.

So, so helpful. A destination in itself. The staff couldn't do enough for us. So many great suggestions. We'll be back.

The Armidale Visitors Centre really is a must! We were warmly greeted by Faye, who has lived in Armidale for a very long time as we found out, and who is a wealth of information in and around the area. The experience was very much like discovering treasure with what we were provided. Not just on what to see but the history as well. We were able to tailor our own touring experience with the information provided and can not thank Faye enough! I heard locally about the council possibly replacing people in the information centre with machines. I hope this never happens. We have had experiences with information machines, they never give you exactly what your looking for, they can't tell you about the treasures you might be interested in but don't know there there, or which way to go to get the maximum visits in areas depending on when they are open. Faye made it a breeze, and we will have to come back as there was far too much to do and see in one day. Thank you again for the experience, education, information, and your warm, friendly nature Faye, you are a gem!

The driver reviver was open and we were so thankful for the warm space and hot drink Clean toilets and a lovely lady with lots of information

Wow! This is a gem of an art gallery, how lucky Armidale is to have it. The Hinton collection is very impressive, featuring some of the biggest names in early 20th century Australian Art such as Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts, Nora Heysen, Margaret Preston, and Ethel Spowers. I also enjoyed the temporary exhibitions. The always impressive Art Express was on display today, and a range of other contemporary Australian artists. They also were advertising a range of workshops for kids and adults running throughout the year. The cafe is lovely too, and there's a well curated gift shop for buying a souvenir or two.

Ohh Coffee is so good and the food is to die for. The food is also unique! There's variety in the menu that you don't see in many other cafes in Armidale. Love that they are open on Sundays and the outdoor seating in the sun with a beautiful view and calm surroundings

This art museum is truly impressive. The collection is diverse and beautifully curated, with each exhibit thoughtfully arranged. The space is clean and peaceful, making it easy to spend hours exploring and appreciating the artwork !

Very cool gallery with a good amount to look at. Staff were very friendly

Such a lovely free regional Gallery! I visited with my sister and was greeted by the front of house staff. She was warm and welcoming. The exhibitions on show were historical, dynamic, and humorous! Displayed beautifully. Thank you for making art accessible to the regional community.

Fabulous experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibitions, and thought it was beautifully presented. A real gem. The lady who greeted me at the front desk was welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, NERAM is a real highlight and a credit to Armidale.

Nice museum with quality artwork, good ambience, and an enjoyable cafe attached for after your visit. And of course a gift shop, with interesting artifacts and prints. This visit they had an exhibit from the collection of Howard Hilton featuring very interesting paintings of Australian and International topics, a Ken Done exhibition, plus assorted contemporary works including some amazing water colours. Entrance is free, and you can make a donation by tap-and-go to support the museum. Also check out the various sculptures spread outside the museum and cafe!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Our guide was so informative and there was so much history to take in. Mary's garden was delightful too. Great place for a picnic.

Beautiful house in incredible condition. Our guides were lovely and very passionate about the house and it’s history. You must book in advance. Very worth it. Enjoyed it very much.

An interesting place, well set up for school groups I imagine. The location the original squatter who owned most of the Tablelands set up their house. It has fantastic gardens that are well maintained and the house itself is still set up as it was 100 years ago.

While the homestead could have some restoration dollars spent on it and the garden definately needs work, this is an extraordinary time capsule of a wealthy but parsimonious (read Presbyterian) family's home life. Not to be missed by any visitor to Armidale. The house is only accessible by guided 1.5 hour tour but it is worth the time and the $12.00 The White family handed it (and the 20 odd acres it sits on) over to the National Trust and left. Everything was left behind, even the spectacular silver hair brushes, books, family pictures and family Bible. Didn't have time to get down to the farming sheds but assume that is equally interesting. Don't miss it. If you want to see the gardens and farming sheds and are going for the 3.30pm tour, make sure you arrive at least an hour beforehand to do so. No time after the tour.

Only got to do the garden today, am very impressed indeed. I had a fall on a spot where water has run and made a trench. Very happy to such beautiful old plants.

The gardens at Saumarez are amazing, especially Mary's, which is maintained by Jarrod the friendly gardner. Inside the house is a time capsule full of significant historical masterpieces of its time, and Lez the property manager was a warm-hearted welcoming man with extensive knowledge. If you love exquisite antiques, ambience, bygone architecture and the highest standard of customer service, then this estate is not to be missed whilst visiting Armidale !!!

Stunning Edwardian NTrust house filled the White family's original furniture & posessions. A wonderful place where you can step back in time and learn a bit of local history from the knowledgeable tour guides. You can also wander around the extensive grounds.

This place is full of great pieces of local history. If you want to know about the Bushranger Thunderbolt demise this is the place. We found the place full of interesting pieces and spend over an hour wandering around the museum. Highly recommend.

Great volunteers, wonderful display of the life and death of Captain Thunderbolt (Fred Ward). Other displays were the history of the mill and gold rush. The museum was on three floors, and it was made easier by a chair list between floors. very interesting place to visit. Allow plenty of time so much to see.Well done to all the volunteers who do a great job

Interesting old flour mill, with lots of exhibits over two levels. It was great that they have installed chair lifts, and also provide a wheelchair, so it is totally accessible. Very nice food. And the series of paintings about Thunderbolt's last start was particularly interesting.

Wonderful display of local history, including the demise of bushranger Captain Thunderbolt, all told in an interesting and often entertaining way, a huge credit to the volunteers of Uralla. The lace collection was amazing. I would also recommend visitors to Uralla get a copy of 'Find Charm in Uralla' from the information centre and do the guided walk.

Amazing displays of days gone by.We enjoyed our time and thankyou to Anne the lady who was a very informative and friendly volunteer. Sitting in the garden under the wisteria was a relaxing time as well.Loved the artwork displayed.

The fire was very warm and the place is fascinating. Definitely worth at least one visit. So much history and so well presented and the storytelling on each display is very worth reading. Don't miss out.

I'm not usually one for museums, but this one is fabulous. The local stories are set individually in sections across three storeys of the amazing old flour mill. Just to wander through the building itself is marvellous. Story settings on aboriginal, bushranger, world war, shearing, farming, craft work, old fire engines & carts, family history themes, etc. And the cricket bat exhibit had us giggling! $5 per concession holder & it took us a very casual hour as we read the stories that interested either of us. For the bobbin lace enthusiast, there is an extensive display both on view & in large, pull out display drawers. This museum really is a credit to all the people involved - likely volunteers. So we hope younger locals value their heritage & help out.

Great distillery about 15 kilometres from Uralla. A great range of award winning whiskey and gins. Also a great place for a meal and a couple drinks.

Wow! This place is amazing! Went not knowing what to expect, but left with raving reviews. Tina was amazing and so knowledgeable throughout the taste testing. Then we moved on to lunch and cocktails and well…. This is where I experienced the BEST cocktail I’ve ever had in my life! And the food was to match. Not only that, but the service was next to none and learning about the story of how Dobsons came to be was just as interesting. Only wish I lived closer so I could visit regularly!

For more than five years, since my best friend Ben gifted me a bottle of Dobson's New England Dry Gin for my birthday before COVID, I have wanted to visit this beautiful distillery. It truly is a fantastic destination in the New England region. A huge thank you to Tina, who patiently and passionately introduced the entire range of gins, vodkas, and whiskies. Naturally, I had to purchase one of each gin and whisky for my collection. A special thanks to Couscous, the house cat, for entertaining my girls, allowing my wife and I to enjoy the tasting in an ultra-stylish and creative environment. We look forward to coming back towards the end of the year to restock our collection.

Best way to spend Easter Sunday!!! We have never done a tasting and had no idea what to expect, but this was awesome Steven was awesome with his passion knowledge and stories as where Lyn and his staff and the Gin was next level. An we left with a small haul of products, And the distillery cat was a real cutie.

Gin distillery . Cool spot with great tastings. Just off the main road from Armidale - Tamworth. $2 tastings and plenty of gin variants to try. They also have a restaurant here. Parking is limited . Staff friendly. We needed up buying 3 bottles of sweet pea for $80 each. A bit novel

Great hidden gem offering gin, vodka and whiskeys that are fantastic and well explained. You can even get beers here brewed onsite but not available elsewhere - so there is something for everyone!! Make sure you book in advance for lunches because they’re often booked out - lovely view out over a green outlook. The team is great and you can buy some takeaway bottles of the best choices!

An awesome quirky place just outside of Uralla. We had a great tasting and came away with a bottle each of Gin and Whiskey. Excellent products! The restaurant looks good too...

Wow! What an amazing campground!! The gorge is astounding.. and a flush toilet for a National Park 🎉🎉 The 4 days we were there (just before Easter weekend) there wasn't enough firewood supplied which led to almost every other camping retrieving wood from the forest. Also 2/4 of the BBQ's weren't working. I did provide feedback to NSWPW and they did come to fix that the day we were leaving.

Great lookouts and walking track on the souther part of Oxley Wild River NP. The main lookout is only a few steps away from the car park, however I recommend taking the 1 hour return walk to Slate Walls Lookout, which will take you past the Apsley river on a suspension bridge, around the gorge to the lower falls.

Beautiful place, We had a great day travelling to Apsley Falls. It was a very cold day but scenery along the route from Uralla was spectacular and the falls after all the rain we had was breath taking.

Falls are amazing, rock formations on the gorge are really interesting. Well maintained walking track (Bitumen), suspension bridge, great look outs, flushing toilets. Definitely worth a visit. Good for a quick stop or 3km walk.

Nice waterfall in easy to get to spot right next to the carpark. Toilets available, plenty of parking and a couple of different walking tracks

Great scenic walk and clean area and amenities.

Quiet picnic ground, easy walks, and very clean toilets

This for a small country town was outstanding . The choices and grade of stock better than 99% of city businesses and it's. Obvious the proprietors are hard working intelligent thoughtful fair and honest traders. Their business morals are obvious unlike in the city where lieing and cheating your clients are the Short term answers. The don't work for long so in the city u blame others and backstab and betray. It's 2 years since being in this store and my pleasant experience stays with me . 99% of my life in the city is featured by betrayal backstabbing and lies .

Lovely little town. Lot's of great shop's for everyone to check out. Lovely Chinese restaurant too.

Beautiful old town, lots of character

A very pretty town with everything you need.

Motorcycle Ride Destination. Bike friendly. Great town!

Cold but nice. Very friendly locals.

Lovely monthly market and a great community.
