Overall Ratings & Reviews The Retreat at Froog-Moore Park

Great themed rooms. Japanese room was fantastic. Hosts were friendly and very helpful. Everything we needed for a short stopover. The gardens were beautiful too.

Everything was great

We're so glad to have found this hidden gem! Our room was perfect – beautifully and uniquely furnished, well-appointed, ultra-quiet and super comfortable. We arrived after dark, so we also enjoyed the added surprise of waking up to The Retreat at Froog-Moore Park's stunning and peaceful gardens the following day. Peter and Sandy are exceptional hosts and genuinely lovely people who made us feel totally at home. And Sandy's cooking is sensational! We have more trips to Tamworth planned and will definitely be back to sample more of Sandy's fantastic cooking, experience The Retreat's other rooms and enjoy the genuinely good service and hospitality The Retreat offers.

clean and quiet

The gardens and staff were excellent Food delicious and unbelievably beautiful accommodation

I travel a lot for work, and this place is like being home! The rooms are all themed and incredibly beautiful! Exceptional fittings and personalised touches! Both Sandy and Peter will do whatever it takes to make your stay as Comfortable as they are able to! They offer food and Beverages, and they cater to your needs. I will definitely be making this my 1st choice in places to stay, anywhere in the Region! Loved it to Bits :)))

Very comfortable and well equipped. Approachable / helpful owners. Highly recomended

It was a nice experience and different to anywhere else. Clean with nice linen and lovely couple who own the retreat.

Wonderful rooms and lovely hospitality!

It's lovely and quiet and the rooms are spacious and clean

Hidden Gem, highly recommend this property. The onsite restaurant although only a few options is 5 star plus in quality and service.Great wine selection and moderate pricing. I would book this restaurant even if not staying at the property. Great breakfast also.

Froog Moore Park is highly recommended. Most enjoyable.

I am sure that we are not the first people to “discover” The Retreat at Froog-Moore Park. Coming up from Sydney to attend to an urgent matter we booked by chance and found ourselves in a different world. Not at all what we expected. Peter and Sandy have a background in shopfitting and design as well as a passion for travel and cooking superb food. Much of the produce is grown on site. The result is themed rooms with great attention to detail. Every element is chosen with care. The food is carefully crafted and delightfully surprising. We felt welcomed and totally at home from the moment we walked in. Not your usual accommodation . A really lovely experience.

A most unusual place! Peter was an excellent host - very friendly and helpful. The room was very dark, and all the decor was rather unusual, if eclectic. The breakfast was fantastic. The retreat is not at its best in the drought - a lot of the garden is looking very sad. I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve, but I wish them luck finding it.

Excellent service. Fantastic food. Comfy bed. Quiet.

Wonderful place to stay.... and the owners, Sandy and Peter, are such lovely people who will go out of their way to ensure your needs are catered for in their beautifully furbished rooms and surrounds. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Tamworth

Lots of lovely little touches you won't find in other accommodation. Its also pretty wild, kooky, warm and friendly. A hell of a lot of time and care has been put into making this a special stay. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to sample Sandy's stunning cooking due to work but I will make sure to when I return. I very much appreciate it when people make an effort to ensure their properties are environmentally friendly and this is the case here. If you're after a stay that is unique and memorable, pick The Retreat at Froog-Moore Park.

We were looking for an overnight stay on the New England highway and are bored by chain motels. The Retreat at Froog-Moore was a bit of a gamble but we were very happy with it. There are only five rooms, each with a different theme. Ours was Japanese and surprisingly authentic with lots of lovely touches in the decoration. The owners are Peter and Sandy Moore and Sandy is the cook and Peter is the host. We had dinner in the rather flamboyantly decorated “gallery” which is also the bar, lounge and breakfast room. Only 2 choices of main course but we chose one each and both delicious. But breakfast was even better with Moroccan scrambled eggs on homemade sourdough bread and great coffee. Not a cheap night (breakfast was not included and $26 each I recall but worth it!) but a huge improvement on a boring motel.

Extremely clean with great food and good presentation

Great quite location fantastic hosts a wonderful stay
