Weekend Trip to Hope Valley

Our family had such a wonderful weekend away at Anita’s beautiful property. It was so peaceful, we explored the area on foot, along the creek and also in our 4WD up to a lookout high on the ridge. The horses visited us at our cabin several times, which was a highlight. The cabin was so private we felt like we had the property to ourselves. Definitely need a 4WD! And the drive to Anita’s property is so beautiful too.

"Cahoola Cabins" - a beautiful place to connect with family and relax in nature and tranquillity. The cabins are cute and well-equipped. The host, Jimmy, is really helpful, approachable and a pleasure to deal with.

Honestly the nicest cabin we have ever stayed in. Exceptionally clean and very comfortable and cosy. Plenty of open space outside and great big firepit which we enjoyed. Cleanest composting toilet i have seen so far, can't say I'm much of a fan of them due to bad experiences but this one was very clean and well maintained. The property is beautiful and we had a great time exploring and hiking up to the Ridge, what a view! We had such a wonderful trip and will definitely be back again and again.

I loved the retro caravan, it was like camping in nature but with a comfy bed and a patio with comfy furniture overlooking the beautiful creek. My dog loved being off leash at the creek and on walks. There were also quiet private camp spots. Paul was a great host, very welcoming and helpful and has kept the land natural and peaceful. I'll definitely be back.

The fire pit is surrounded by a concrete slab, which was great. It's a lovely property, which is within easy reach of lots of great parts of the region.

What a gorgeous piece of paradise! Having the cabin and the space to our group of 15 (adults and children) for three nights was stress free for me! Plenty of space for everyone to spread out a little. The dogs had their freedom without having to be on leash and enjoyed the cold creek! Looking forward to visiting again when warmer to just sit in the creek!!
