Cheese tastings here are $10. Would have been nice if they offered a Seniors discount. I would have preferred the condiment tastings to be in tiny containers rather than on wooden sticks. After our tasting, we chose a couple of cheeses and ordered a platter for 2 which was huge and included a freshly baked bread roll and lots of fruit. Washed down with wine. They have an amazing array of condiments here with a variety of different flavours. We bought a few. Our host was lovely. In hindsite I think that the cheese tastings should be waived if you purchase a platter or say over $50 of goods.

If you want food, stop here! We were heading to lunch elsewhere, keen to check out the cheeses.. & saw the food! Not to be distracted (even though we were!), we ordered a ploughman's platter. And coffee. And a cheese tasting board. Bonus points for it being pet friendly, our doggo made new friends! Make sure you take your esky, the cheeses you bring home will appreciate it!

First time doing a cheese tasting. I'm not a huge fan of cheese, but things you do for your partner 😉 I'm glad I did it.. was $20 for 2 people. We walked out with the snowflake cheese and a red capsicum relish. Was a cute little shop and highly recommend! My partner said the snowflake cheese brought back memories from his childhood. 🧀

Enjoyed the cheese tasting plate and explanation sheet. Have been to other cheese tasting and feel this was one of the better set ups. Very well priced and lots of options. The overall cost of the cheese was reasonable and have a variety of sample packs you can buy too. Cosy fireplace that adds to the atmosphere when it’s cold outside. We didn’t eat, but the food being delivered to the other tables around us looked good!

Stopped here for lunch. The ploughman’s platter was delicious. Kids had a toastie and they loved them too. Dogs are not only allowed here but are made to feel very welcome.

Such a fun cheese tasting board with complementary condiments. Absolutely gorged ourselves with our 3 favourite cheeses for dinner that night. Not a leftover in sight!

We did the cheese tasting as well as purchased a cheese variety pack. Loved being able to try the cheese before buying as we were able to figure out our favourites.

A popular place to stop in for a coffee and sweet treat. Generous serve of their famous apple pie with spice apple ice cream. A variety of apple juice flavors to choose from. Lots of seating inside and outside. Toilets and parking on site. Friendly staff.

Suttons Juice Factory is a gem! Their apple pie is hands-down one of the best I’ve ever tasted — warm, flaky, and perfectly spiced. Plenty apple juices to taste, each one bursting with fresh flavour. Super friendly staff and a great spot to grab something delicious and local. Highly recommend!

A must visit for lovers of apple pie. You won’t be disappointed! Husband and I shared a portion and it was enough. The cafe is in a big tin shed which must get very hot in summer but there are fans and an outdoor seating area. Lots of apple-related products for sale.

Today we went back to Suttons, after a 13 year absence, to see if their famous apple pie was still as good as we could remember. YES, the apple pie was still as good as it was 13 years ago woohoo! Unfortunately the whole experience was let down by the awful cappuccino's we ordered with it, instead of cappuccino's we got a mug of warm milk - hence we didn't drink it and they went into the bin. The lady that served us, also cleaned the table and saw that we hardly drank any of it but never asked why we didn't drink the coffees. It was a bummer because when we ordered and asked for each of our coffees to have a double shot, she said that they use Merlo coffee beans and they are really strong and tasty. Despite this we insisted on double shots, I don't know where the shots went but definitely not in our mugs :(. In the end of the day we went there for the apple pie and that was delicious but I wouldn't recommend the coffee, that is if you are used to a strong cup of good coffee and not a warm cup of milk.

A must when in Stanthorpe. This place was recommended to us and it didn't dissapoint. 10/10 best Apple pie I've ever eaten! Homemade ice cream is delicious. Service is fast and staff are lovely and friendly. We will be back 🍎🍏

The staff were impolite, but it was busy. The pies were good, nothing special though. They have a lot of goodies you can buy; soaps, juice, ciders, jams 🍎🍓🍇🫐 The kind of place you only go to once :)

Good place to stop as you pass through Applethorpe/Granite Belt. Coffee was good and I had the Ruben Sandwhich (note that wasn't a standard/classic Ruben as pickels were in the sandwich and was on wholemeal not rye bread). Lots of apple juices to sample and good selection of juice and jams to purchase. Prices were 'moderate ' (no great deals to be had day I was there). Toilets were clean (note only for paying customers. )

We were so impressed with this place - such a warm and inviting atmosphere and shaped like a castle to boot! The staff were friendly and we were welcome to sample anything we were interested in. I can never drink wine because it always has preservatives in it but theirs has no preservatives so I bought up and the prices are great. They also have a big selection of so many other things - we left there quite a bit poorer than when we got there but very happy! They also have free shipping if you order a certain amount online (cant remember offhand how much) so we will definitely be supporting this great Aussie business in future!

Don't know what people are on about...first time there went in tried a bunch of awesome tasting alcohols bought a bunch of them, the lady working there was full of knowledge and super helpful... also bathroom's were clean! Will be visiting there again!

Lovely place to visit the owner, so it is so accommodating and happy to let you taste before you buy.

Hey look, I don’t drink but this place is worth a visit. I bought all sorts of beverages that my family and friends would love as gifts. Something that you wouldn’t find in other places. The staff were amazing too! Not to mention the ambiance, I mean seriously its in a castle, just perfect!

Nice landscape. Just need to be more creative with the exhibition of the liquor.

Bought a sample pack of " sloe gin" Absolutely disgusting undrinkable lantern fluid In all fairness it does say on the label it was in fact white spirit . Only discovered this fact after spitting out first mouthful, Out of 6 flavours in pack zero were drinkable. A bit decieving when you pay a high price for " gin" So if you like drinking disinfectant, this might be for you. No better than the wine based spirits you get for about $ 20 a litre Very disappointing Even after 4 beers can't flush the disgusting flavour out

Well I was going to write a great review, as the place does the cutest bottles of liqueurs and has a great setting, however I found their customer service for any issues very disappointing. In store it wasnt particularly outstanding but I was too excited about the cute bottles to worry about that at the time. I purchased several items, two of which were really cute bottles of liqueurs. I drove home to Brisbane, then my friend and I sampled these at one location, before I drove the few KMs home. When I went to unpack the bottle lid of the round bottle was not on the bottle and despite being in a cardboard box and upright, had leaked half the bottle. I figured this was on me for not securing the lid, however I have found the lid does not stay on. There is obviously an air pressure issue with the design of lid and bottle, so I now have a half empty bottle that the lids won't stay on. Now here comes the issue. I am assuming I have a faulty lid, so I contact Castle Glen to let them know, and to ask if I might have a replacement (as I really love the bottle and wanted to display it after). I was basically told that these lids often don't stay on, hence why they shrink-wrap them when they make them. So I suggested that is a fault and that perhaps they should be informing the customer about this, both at time of purchase and on the box. Basically (in a friendly way) told me this is how it is and they aren't going to do anything to help me. They also suggested they haven't had this complaint before, which I find strange if this is a common occurrence. And if it's not a common occurrence, then surely you would just err on the side of caution as a business and replace it. Needless to say I am disappointed that I have half a bottle of liqueur and will now need to find a new home for it and can't store in the bottle I wanted it in. Apparently once empty, my bottle can still be used for the aesthetic purposes I wanted it for, although my plan was to fill it with a coloured liquid, so I guess that won't be happening. Surely if you have a design flaw, you would want to ensure you fix that rather than telling your customers that's just how it is.

Awesome dog show, and a great team of people working here. I got my dog off Matt nearly 6 years ago now and he's been an amazing addition to the family. If you are thinking about becoming a German Shepherd home I can't recommend a Trip to Lawdogs enough.

We got our family dog (bear)from LDA, the service was excellent the dog was even better, I have recommended them to people in the past and would do so going forward for sure!!😁

An informative, interesting 1 hour insight into the training and workings of this dog training facility. The narrative is clear and suitable for adults and children alike. Enjoyed it because it was something different. These are working dogs in training and not trick dogs so it doesn't always go as planned, which adds to the experience.

Went for the truffle discovery, was great to learn about truffles in Australia and watch their trained sniffer dogs in action. Grabbed some truffle oil and honey on the way out and can't wait to try!

Very educational and worth a visit. Great to see the makings of a working dog.

What a wonderful experience. The dog show is worth it and one gets an idea of how patient one needs to be if doing specialist dog training. Also did a very short tour of the truffle nursery and bought some truffle oil. Using the latter in cooking (very small quantities) and it adds amazing taste and complexity to a dish. There is also local honey one can purchase. Definitely pop in if you're in the area. Check the website for opening days as they are not open that often. When we went they were only open on Wednesday and Saturday from 11am. Also check when they do the Alpaca feeding.

WE GOT A PUPPY THERE BEST PLACE TO GET GERMAN SHEPHERDS

Lots of creativity went into creating this attraction. There are 3 mazes, plus mini golf. You all get a riddle to solve too (adults included). The signs around the place are awesome, very comical. If u are in the region, come visit it. Great for kids.

Fabulous! We had the best time! The riddles were fun, spent an hr in the maze trying to find the clues, mini golf was well set up and the songs were hilarious! Highly recommend! Well maintained too!

What a fun experience! The Granite Belt Maze was a great way to spend part of our day in Stanthorpe. Challenging enough to be engaging but not frustrating. Perfect activity for couples or families visiting the region. Well-maintained and good value for money. Mini golf was fun too!

Very pleasant experience with the mazes and putt putt. A lot of fun, well maintained facilities and friendly people to deal with. Love the riddles of course, and the signs are very funny!

This was such a fun and different experience! Being family owned, you could definitely feel the love that has gone into creating the place. I was thoroughly entertained with the hilarious signs everywhere, and the maze experience was fun because you have to find the answer to a riddle. So even though you can just take it casually, when you have the riddle to finish it makes you more excited to get through it. There were smaller mazes too which were super kid friendly and we finished the day with a round of the mini golf which was actually super fun! The place itself was well maintained and looked after, really beautiful and had enough in way of ammenities to feel comfortable. The husband and wife who own it were so friendly and sweet. Definitely recommend giving it a go!

A very fun experience! The riddle to solve whilst traversing the maze was very enjoyable, and the mini golf afterwards was a fun way to cap off this enjoyable afternoon. Staff were super friendly, and everything felt super relaxed and lovely!

Great place to go for a few hours the man and his wife are lovely and my family and I had an awesome time. If you do go make sure to read the signs. I wish the council would promote this place a lot more as there is hardly any signage! The owner said the council won't allow more signs so please go there for a family fun half day and help promote this amazing husband and wife team.

We would like to congratulate Wine Discovery Tours for such an articulate and informative tour of Stanthorpe. Our guide Geoff planed our day to perfection, he is a great asset to the Stanthorpe Tourism and is highly recommended. Darryl and Colleen

Geoff our tour guide was incredibly friendly and so knowledgeable on every destination. We were able to tailor a wine tour specifically for us, with some great suggestions from Geoff. Highly recommend!!!

My wife and I with a few friends had a wine tour with Jeffery, it was awesome. Educational, adventurous & well organised trip.

Wonderful

Am amazingly beautiful part of the world and only a short drive from Tenterfield. Also great camping and swimming holes. The dirt track is easy going and approx 14 kilometers (8 mi).

Absolutely worth the visit, even if you're coming from far. The scenery is fantastic, the walks can be as long or as short as you want, and you're always near this picturesque river and the incredible waterfall.

Well worth the drive in from Tenterfield, picnic area and toilets are well maintained. Spectacular views down through the gorge and waterfalls cascading down the side. There is a large pool at the top that you can swim in tho we did not as it was cold a a little discoloured from all the recent rains and bushfires in the area. Still well worth it for a drive and a sausage on the BBQ.

Easy relaxing walk well pathed

Only 27km from Tenterfield, Boonoo Boonoo National Park has a stunning waterfall, secluded swimming holes, hiking tracks, camping areas, accommodation and picnic spots. After Banjo Patterson proposed to his sweetheart, Alice Walker, at Boonoo Boonoo Falls lookout, there was movement at Tenterfield cattle station. Word had passed around that the station owner’s daughter had got away. Presumably she loved the guy, but it’s possible that his charming choice of setting in which to pop the question might have helped sway her answer. Alice didn’t have a chance and she and Banjo married in 1903. Today, Boonoo Boonoo (pronounced bunna-bunoo) is still the ultimate romantic setting, especially after a good rainfall. From the lookout is an uninterrupted view of the Boonoo Boonoo River cascading over the granite cliff edge to become a spectacular waterfall that plunges 210m into the gorge below. Nearby, you’ll find walking tracks and shady places to picnic. Secluded rock pools along the river, lined by wildflower-filled bushland, are the perfect way to cool off on a hot day.

Great place to visit if you're around Tenterfield. Easy walk and spectacular scenery. Good facilities for a stopover, rest or picnic.

Beautiful camping area, with a gorgeous swimming area. No phone reception either so a blissfully distraction free experience.

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.

Excellent range of wines, try the 2025 Maisie Verdelho or the 2023 Max Block One Shiraz. Tastings are welcome, and the servings are generous. Plenty of off street parking. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful.

We spent some time at this winery today doing a tasting. Marley was amazing and very patient! He entertained and informed and managed to wrangle seven of us. His knowledge of the wines was thorough and the wines themselves were delicious. Highly recommend stopping in here and stocking up. Thanks Marley!

Marley was our host for a superb wine tasting experience. Truly engaging, knowledgeable and passionate about showcasing Tobin’s exceptional wines. There were many standouts but the Block Shiraz and Chardonnay were tremendous. Tobin’s focus on perfecting their terroir shines in their wines and stand as a tribute to Alex (Mr Tobin) whose ethos for producing wine with restrained wine maker influence is both commendable and justifiable. A must visit for anyone who appreciates great wines and a commitment to the art of wine making.

Our second visit to Tobin Wines over the years did not disappoint! The service, explanations of the wines and their personalities and roots was exceptional yet again. The tasting out of this world. A big shout out to Marley who we recommend gets whatever promotion or awards are available, and if not, invent one. He's gold.

I’ve visited Tobin many times and it never disappoints. What I love the most is the variety & ability to taste side by side; especially with the same varietals from different blocks. Shout out to Brandy who was personable, professional & offered exceptional hospitality. In my opinion the best wines on the granite belt ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a great experience all round! Marley was a great host with immense knowledge on the wine as well as the Tobin family history. A really engaging and enjoyable experience, oh not to mention the top wines of our trip. We ended up with a Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc (Which both my partner and I have never really been fans of the style, but really enjoyed) as well as a couple other bottles to go. Keep doing what you’re doing team Tobin, and we will see you next time for sure! Thanks!

The best winery experience we’ve had in Stanthorpe + the best wines IMO. Generous tastings. Great knowledge. A beautiful setting. Couldn’t recommend highly enough 👌

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
