Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed last weekend. The food & service was really great, especially the Degustation Dinner, a new experience for us. We really enjoyed meeting new people over dinner & especially enjoyed meeting you & your lovely children. We always come away from Stanthorpe saying how much we really love the area & how we can really picture ourselves ending up there eventually.
We look forward to our next visit.

We stayed last weekend 9-11 Sep with a group from Brisbane. We just wanted to complement you on your establishment. We had stayed there a few years ago and were pleased to hear it had survived after news of its then sale.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable time, enjoyed the wood fires, the location, entertainment, conviviality & great food on Saturday night. I hope that you have continued success and will be around for a long time so we can come back.
Cheers

Hi Geoff & Dee
Thank you so much for your hospitality on the weekend – we all had a lovely time. The food was superb! Compliments to the chef! Your staff were all very friendly and very accommodating. The cabins were very cosy and comfortable. I especially liked the spa
We all had a great time on our wine tour with Jack – thank you to him also and Fillipo’s for a great day out.
We have all brought a little bit of Stanthorpe home with us to enjoy and will be sure to come back again.
Thank you also to Valerie for all her help organising our weekend and answering all my questions.
All the best and thanks again!
Kind Regards
Robin

Hello Dee, Valerie & Geoff
It’s is really good, that when one organises a weekend away with a group of people that one can feel confident in the resort to give everyone the full package.
Service, nice clean rooms, and great food. I also found it really great that the local wines were a big part of the wine list. I must say talking to some of those wineries you have scored bonus points with them.
The feeling I got from the group, they had a fantastic weekend and I really appreciate the friendly hospitality that all the staff showed to us all.
I get such a buzz out of seeing someone’s passion and vision come to reality. Congratulations to Geoff and Dee for achieving your vision. I’m sure there is more you want to achieve but with what you have done since we stayed with you just six weeks after you had taken over and you had shared your vision with Bronwen and I, I have no doubt you will continue to hit winners.
Kind Regards
Philip

Hi there – we stayed with you over the Easter long weekend and would like to say a big THANKYOU! We had a wonderful time in Cabin 15 and thought all your special touches both in the cabin and the restaurant were lovely from the fluffy towels and fantastic water pressure in the shower to the hot cross buns at breakfast on Sunday through to the kids packs at dinner.
We cannot sing your praises high enough!
We hope your business does beautifully for you as you care for your patrons is fantastic.
Thanks again
Jen, Shaun and Connor

Good afternoon Geoff,
Just wanted to drop a quick email to say ‘thank you’.
My partner Craig and I, thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday night stay at Happy Valley. The evening meal in the restaurant was lovely and the steak was cooked to perfection. The leisurely breakfast was scrumptious, the cabin was very comfortable, and thanks for the later check-out on Sunday.
Kind regards,
Eliza

Hi Valerie, Geoff and Dee
I would just like to thank you all for your hospitality in looking after my friends & colleagues at our overnight stay last Saturday night the 10th July. All of my passengers would return to your establishment again, without hesitation. We really appreciated the high standard of the way you presented breakfast. The courtesy of the staff, presentation of the table & meal were all of the highest standard for which we were very grateful for.
In hindsight next time we would probebly choose to dine in, rather then out as it would allow my guests more time to unwind, relax and enjoy their stay at the retreat without the hassle of running here and there elsewhere.
The ladies who had the massages were very happy with them, so hopefully having more time on our hands next time would allow more people the opportunity to experience this as well.
Thanking you all once again and I am sure I will be back in touch with you the same time next year or even sooner.
Kind Regards
Allison

Dear Happy Valley Owners,
The Jones family who had cabins 5,6,7,8,9 all wish to thank you for a lovely weekend – we were in Stanthorpe for a long awaited Jones family reunion. We loved our cabins and thought they were very well appointed and comfortable and also our cooked brekkies on Saturday were well presented and tasted fantastic. The Staff also were very polite and helpful so a big thank you to them also.
You made our trip back to Stanthorpe pleasant and if we ever get the chance again we will certainly stay with you and will recommend your resort to any of our friends who might venture down your way.
Once again thank you.
Cheers and Kind Regards
Sharon and Peter

Good Morning
I just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely wonderful time, whilst staying @ Happy Valley Retreat over the weekend. From the initial booking enquiry, up until the moment we left, the service was perfect. I can safely say that I have never experienced someone who placed so much emphasis on making our stay so memorable. The facilities offered in the cabin & the food served in the restaurant was phenomenal.
I will definitely let anyone who is within cooee distance know that if they are heading to Stanthorpe, to stay @ your venue.
Have a wonderful day!
Kind Regards,
Cherisse

Geoff, Dee, and Valerie, you really spoiled us. We enjoyed every part of our stay, lovely little cabin for five nights in a nice quiet spot, wildlife and bushwalks, fireplace, and the meal “experience” at your restaurant was really special – thanks again.
When we arrived home (Mount Isa), we found that summer had well and truly arrived, which made the memory of the cold weather and enjoying the fireplace even better.
Thanks again, and God bless you all
George, Bev and Jonathan
Thanks again for all your help. You guys are doing a great job!
