“A unique Australian country experience” Actually at THE TOPS on 2000 acres in Barrington Tops National Park and World Heritage site. All Organic Restaurant and Bar.

We have just four family farm stay cottages and four secluded luxury loft cabins with king spas fed by our own spring waters for that special night away.

The cottages can sleep up to 8 people and have a brand new cottage kitchen with aged red gum bench tops, fully equipped including dishwasher, bathrooms with spa baths, comfy lounge and balconies by the creek looking into the cool sun-tropical rain forests.

The Luxury loft cabins are in a secluded private setting by the creek and rainforest, with beautiful polished timber floors, loft designer bedroom, comfy lounge and a large balcony to relax and watch the wildlife go by.

It's cooler up here in the valley and summer months with a cosy open fire place for the winter snows.

Can you imagine 20 km of pristine fresh water creeks and rivers and 50 km of beautiful walks with some great 4WD tracks for the adventurous?

Horse riding only $45 for 2hrs, feed the chickens, collect eggs, pat a lamb, chase the goat, free guided tours of the farm and how sustainable farming works, learn to compost, grow your own foods in the veggie patch, sustainable building and energy usage fun for kids, interesting for adults. Also free, tennis court with night lights, salt water swimming pool, swings and games room, fishing, AUS star movies & sports DVD selection, pool table, mountain bikes, and the most beautiful sub-tropical rain forest walks on your doorstep.

There are hundreds of unique birds, mammals and rare species here, even the elusive Brumbies, Koalas, Wedge tail eagles and Frogs & Platypus in the cool clear spring waters of the creeks and rivers. This is a nature lover’s paradise and a special part of Australia.

Sharini together with husband John have been involved in the organic industry for over 20 years and know the difference of quality produce and good food, they have a passion for the environment, organic food and sustainable living. Most of the fresh produce is grown organically on the property or sourced from local growers.

Sharini makes wonderful traditional Sri-Lankan light curries and the best prawn curry ever.

For those of you who would rather be waited on you can order sumptuous organic meals in the restaurant from only $20.00

The breakfast menu will vary with the seasons and will include dishes such as freshly roasted organic granola / muesli with yoghurt or milk, seasonal fruit platters, pancakes, farm eggs, baked zucchini slice, muffins, organic fruit breads and organic homemade jams with wholemeal toasts, organic juices and a wide selection of the best organic teas and coffees.

We will also have a small selection of essential groceries for your convenience, breads, milk, salads, fruits, olives, pies, BBQ packs. We also have a wood fired pizza oven for the special pizza nights.

The evening meal will be a selected set menu of seasonally fresh produce of two or three courses from $25.00 to $35.00 dollars, half price for children. Homemade soups in winter and fresh salads in summer, curries of course and of all descriptions, prawn, lamb, beef, fish, chicken, vegan and vegetarian. Organic pasta dishes certified organic steaks seared the way you like it (delicious)! Roast of the day, even tasty marinated kangaroo with juniper berry sauce. Deserts are special too. Have you tried organic chocolate pudding or organic poached fruits with creamy ice cream? Sticky date pudding and apple and rhubarb crumble are always a favourite.

We also have delicious prepared meals that can be purchased to enjoy in the privacy of your own accommodation.

We have a wide selection of fabulous certified red and white organic wines from around $20.00 a bottle and even the first Australian organic sparking chardonnay for that special occasion, Cooper's Real Ales of course.

Fresh delicious meals and wines that don't cost the earth.

John and Sharini look forward to sharing this special property with you, we hope to see you soon.

The Tops Organic Retreat is located in the Barrington Tops, to the north of the Hunter Valley, approximately 3 ½ hours drive north of Sydney.

From Sydney follow the Newcastle Expressway to the end, and then follow signs for Taree. Approx 15 minutes after Heatherbrae/Raymond Terrace bypass (10kms before Karuah) turn left onto the Bucketts Way following signs to Gloucester via Booral, Stroud and Stratford.

On arrival in Gloucester drive through to the end of the main street and turn left at roundabout onto the Scone Road. The Tops Organic Retreat is 42 km from Gloucester. At the first major intersection past Gloucester continue straight ahead for The Tops (do not take the right hand turn to Nowendoc and Walcha). Just past Copeland (15.6 km) the road forks - keep to the right, continuing uphill along the scone road, (do not take the left hand turn to the Gold Mine) 26 km from Gloucester the road becomes gravel, however, it is regularly graded and suitable for two-wheel drive vehicles.

The only other turn (Rawdon Vale @ 32 km) is clearly marked to turn right for Hookes Creek. Continuing along the Scone Road you will pass Mud Hut Road (@ 34 km) and Lauries Road (@ 36 km).

The turn off to The Tops (Jems Creek Road) is clearly signed and it is 4 km from the main road to Reception of the retreat.

Congratulations you have arrived at The Tops, we welcome you with a refreshing glass of organic wine.
