Simon and Greg have developed Donegal over the last 16 years and look forward to sharing it with you. We will greet you on arrival and show you around Saddler's Retreat and what is available on the property and in the local area. We are always happy to talk about sightseeing options and where to explore.

Feel free to enjoy our gardens or bushwalk over our 150 ha property. The Bluff River flows through the middle of Donegal and provides a pleasant evening or morning wander. In the evening sit around the firepit and BBQ with a beer or a wine, and look up at the expanse of unblemished starry sky above.

Nearby is the Washpool National Park with outstanding lookouts and Torrington Nature Reserve with bushwalking. Baldrock and Boonoo Boonoo Falls on the other side of Tenterfield are well worth a visit. Tenterfield itself is only 15 minutes away and has plenty of cafes, restaurants and museums to explore.

We look forward to welcoming you to Donegal

Loved the property enjoying Misty morning walks to the gate with my dogs. Grateful for a warm bed at nights and the security of knowing my new pet was with family. Beautiful place with great hospitality! I would recommend a stay!

About the host

Hosted by Greg May

Host profile image
Simon and Greg both come from a country background and have owned Donegal since 2006. In that time we have developed it into a beautiful horse and cattle property and built our dream house. Now we want to share that with our people so we built a self contained cottage: Saddler's Retreat.

Why they chose this property

We liked the climate and beauty of the New England region, and having worked in the area, settled here. Tenterfield also has good access to Brisbane, being only 4 hours drive

What makes this property unique

Good even climate, four seasons, easy access to New England Highway, Country Retreat
