recently we stayed @ happy valley retreat, stanthorpe for 3 nights.....on our second morning puddles had frozen over as the temperature had gone down to -3 degrees overnight.....we felt only cosy though as each of the cabins has a fire with plenty of wood to burn + i have a theory (i am not alone) that red wine tastes better when you are beside a fire & wonderfully warm! happy valley retreat celebrated christmas in july @ the homestead on the saturday night.....the mulled wine was a great start to the night followed by a delicious roast & yummy pudding w custard...the entertainment added a relaxed vibe with the guitarist /singer engaging the children several times...(which they loved!) + santa did visit & the children were out of their minds with excitement!....the night was completed with a delicious locally made port.
the trees & grounds @ happy valley are particularly beautiful in winter & we look forward to our next visit....maybe in spring to compare the season changes! also their sunday breakfast was excellent - the free range eggs delicious & hollandaise to match was seriously good!....the kids room @ the homestead is really handy & allows the parents to have some quiet (should they need it).
our love of stanthorpe lives on!
