A Retreat Like No Other
Heartfelt Reviews from Previous Guests
Anne, hi,
Just a short note to say how grateful I was for your care and attention during my time in the Snowy. From your understanding around my delayed arrival, ability to adjust and bend to the changing scenarios with care and understanding to the amazing accommodation itself.The building is beautiful, the view even more so and the facilities inside beyond world class. There was nothing I needed – you had it all, comfort wise, food wise and drink wise let alone the view.And then you went the extra mile to ensure I wasn’t relying on microwaved IGA meals by supplying all I needed for dinner on Sunday night – I could not have asked for more.I thoroughly enjoyed my few days in Batlow and surrounds and will never cease to be impressed with the resilience, community and feel of the towns in your area – all encapsulated by your hospitality to me.
Thanks again,Simon Marnie (ABC)

Dear Anne
Thank you for having us here at Brindabella Farm Stay Retreat this weekend.
Congratulations on your beautiful rebuild. The view from each bedroom is fabulous and each room with its own ensuite is decadent.
Beds are so cosy and comfortable . So many choices to lounge around with a wine and cheese platter.We wish you every success as you arise from the ashes!

BEST accommodation in Batlow! Earlier this year (February) we were treated to something very special. We were among the first guests at the opening of the new Brindabella Farm Stay, Batlow.The occasion was a large special birthday function over that weekend and we also stayed in the beautiful new accommodation.The views over the landscape before us were amazing and our host was wonderful with friendly service with our every wish catered for.We enjoyed Brindabella so much and will be returning to take in those views once more and to treat ourselves to the great experience that Brindabella offers.If heading to Batlow, drop in and you will not be disappointed. The memory will be a lasting one and we totally recommend it!

We were delighted to book a three-night stay at the new Brindabella Farm-Stay in the brand new beautifully appointed cabin style units overlooking the mountain and valley vistas and surrounding farmlands. Anne has reimagined the new farm-stay accommodation without disappointment and we were able to take in the magnificent scenery while unwinding and sipping our coffee and wine on the deck and letting time stand still – we were supremely comfortable the whole time and the kitchen dining and lounge areas were very well equipped – we cannot wait to get back for another amazing stay.

Thank you Anne!
The house really WOWED us! So luxurious! Everything was perfect. The beds comfy, bedlinen smelt so clean and fresh! You really care …and have made this a home away from home. We were so comfortable we couldn’t even be bothered lighting the fire pit!!! Your farm stay is very special. So many cute baby calves walking to the dam and back with their mums. I’m sure we will be back and our group is already talking about a five night minimum stay!! LoL!
Thank you so much again.

Staying at Brindabella Farm Stay Retreat has been a fantastic experience. Anne, the host, makes everything easy and seamless. The accommodation is clean and newly built, with a well-equipped kitchen and cosy lounge room. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the entire place is spotless. To top it off, the views are breathtaking, especially sunrise from the Brindabella Room! As a corporate client, with frequent stays, it has been 100% perfect! Highly recommended.

Of all the places we have stayed in the world this is right up in the top 10. A beautiful setting, luxurious first class everything, linen, beds so comfy, have never slept so well. Kitchen fully equipped. We were honoured to christen the fabulous plunge pool. Such a great hostess, you had us in fits of laugher, it was a pleasure to share some good times with you! Thank you so much for letting us have my birthday BBQ here with local friends, certainly a night to remember. We wish you every success moving forward with all the future ideas you have. Brindabella will grow and grow and we will certainly be back one day. All our love.

Brindabella is a home from home! I look forward to returning very soon and sharing more special moments on the balcony, in the plunge pool and around the house!!
So lovely to have my parents experience a little bit of my Batlow family!

Dear Anne
Every week people say to us “where are you two off to this weekend” or “Where do you find these places?” after they have seen my post from the weekend.
It’s one of the best, well my fav country stay we have had. I could sit with my legs dangling in the water taking in those views all day!
Right from booking, it was all so easy. And that’s why we have booked again already. See you in two weeks, can’t wait to surprise Mum for her birthday.

Dear Anne
We surprised Nan for her birthday and it has been such a beautiful and wholesome stay!
We have enjoyed it so much and find your new build so perfect that I have already booked out all 3 rooms for the October long weekend to celebrate my 21st birthday with family. We are already looking forward to our next stay! Brindabella Farm Stay has everything you need and more from the kitchen to the bathrooms and those views overlooking the pool are simply stunning!

This is the third time we have stayed at Brindabella and we will be back! This time around we celebrated a 21st and a 48th and it was the perfect location to gather to relax, celebrate and spend memorable family time together. From the chocolates on the bed to everything and anything you need in the kitchen, it is the one stop location for our family. Thank you Anne for your kindness, generosity, for the birthday gifts and for always welcoming our family to your beautiful Air BnB!

Now being an empty nester, having my girls here with me for the weekend soothes this Mumma’s soul. Brindabella is our favourite spot! Can’t wait for the hot tub to go in and for Robbie to book again! Thanks Anne for providing the most relaxing, stress free, five star accommodation.
I keep getting “where are you”? on my socials so I hope you get more recommended booking.
THANKS AGAIN, cain’t wait till my next stay!

Thank you so much Annie! We artists had a wonderful time. So inspiring! We loved the hot tub and the pool too. The views are magnificent and absorbing but we did manage to tear ourselves away to visit the Pilot Hill Arboretum/Sculptures and the CiderHouse! Very relaxing time! Love Sue, Geoff, Cherry, Jan, Jos, Jannine & Chris. PS: This is our second time here! We will be back! You are a very thoughtful hostess.
