This is definitely one place we will be returning too! Hosts Dee and Geoff, and their staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring that we had a wonderful short stay in Stanthorpe. The cabin was beautifully clean, comfy and cosy, breakfast basket more than adequate. Despite being chilly outside, the log fire ensured that we were toasty warm in our cabin,... More

Massive thanks to the staff at Happy Valley Retreat. I travel all over Qld & NSW looking after very special clients. Our cabin was certainly in my top 3 places to stay. On this trip, my partner joined me for the trip. Our cabin's fireplace was lit by the time we arrived. The cabin set-up was perfect for us to... More

It was opera in the vineyard weekend and Stanthorpe was booked out, however we were lucky to have a reservation at Happy Valley Retreat.  We were the last to check in and were greeted by a wonderful receptionist/manager. She was very friendly and was running around for clients effortlessly and with enthusiasm.  We were told that our fireplace was already... More

For a short break in a very busy calendar we stayed 3 nights in the cabins and the peace and quiet was perfect. Cabins nestle in the bush to protect privacy but facilities are very close. Having a quality restaurant onsite was a bonus even though the CBD is only 5 minutes away. Service was friendly and efficient from all... More

Our stay was fantastic, stress free & very relaxing. Booking was easy, staff were so helpful & accommodating the whole way through. You either sit back, relax in the peaceful surrounds, get memorised by the wood fire in your room or get out & about, the choice is yours - your spoilt for choice! Not once did my 10 yr... More

Happy Valley provides well provisioned cabins for a great "away from it all" retreat. The cabins are stand-alone surrounded by native bush within walking distance of the main conference centre and dining rooms. You can "chill out" in your room with a cosy wood fire when the nights get cool and go for bush walks during the day or made... More

Our 3 night stay here leading up to Easter was so relaxing. The cabins are rustic but comfortable and we loved the fireplace for those chilly nights. The continental breakfast supplies were convenient and ample but note that there isn't really a kitchenette in these cabins, just a small fridge and bench that makes it difficult to do the washing...

To the team at Happy Valley Retreat, Stanthorpe. WOW, thank you so much for a wonderful Easter weekend. We had such a brilliant time in Stanthorpe and at Happy Valley, that on our last evening there, our son expressed his sadness at having to go home. I think he realised it meant life would go back to being the mad... More
