  I've had the pleasure of staying at Girragirra on three occasions now & cannot recommend it highly enough. I travel a lot for work both here and internationally and whilst it's relatively easy to find quality accommodation in big cities, it's not so easy in the bush. Girragirra is an exception. It's all about quality. The apartments themselves are tasteful and functional. I love the smooth cement floors, the large windows, the bathrooms, the layout and the luxurious beds. The service is wonderful and Kim and Wendy are a delight. The fresh food available in the garden at your door and the eggs from the chickens across the paddock, taste like food should taste. The freshly baked, home made sourdough bread on your doorstep every morning is a real treat. You have access to the internet, Netflix and whatever takes your fancy if you want to indulge. But my biggest temptation is to simply chill, go for a walk, look out the window, read and take the time to slow down. When you're traveling for business, these are priceless experiences. I'll be back. I wish Kim, Wendy (Sally Muffet) and all who stay at Girragirra the very best for the New Year and beyond.

  I've stayed at Girragirra twice over the past couple of years, and each time was equally wonderful. The accommodation is perfect - beautifully designed sustainable living space that provides views of the surrounding landscape, even from the bathroom! Thoughtful little additions of fresh goodies from the most wonderful, flourishing and abundant permaculture garden. The best part however, are the duo behind Girragirra, Kim & Wendy. The warmest, most generous and fun couple I've met. They welcome you into their little slice of heaven, that they've created from the ground up. You'll laugh with them, and learn lots too. They're around to help you with whatever you need but not at all intrusive if you want some peace and quiet and respite. Do yourself a favour and book into Girragirra, you will leave there a better human - on all fronts. Thankyou Wendy & Kim, we love you!

  Unless you see Girragirra for yourself, you won’t truly understand it’s beauty. The hosts, Kim and Wendy have created their own little oasis and are there for you as much or as little as you like. Everywhere you look, is simple impressive. From the most abundant veggie patch that you can wander through, the most pristine sunrises and serene surroundings, to the décor in the guest house - everything is in its right spot and fits in perfectly. And if that isn’t enough, these 2 amazing humans have this incredible dedication to sustainable living. Wendy makes her own sourdough, cultured butter, sauerkraut, kombucha…Kim has started growing his own mushrooms, the list is endless! Their can do attitude is infectious and I went back city life feeling much more aware about my footprint on this earth. If you want a relaxing getaway, please get yourself to Forbes and stay at Girragirra, you won’t want to leave.

  From the moment we arrived, Wendy and Kim made us feel right at home. The accomodation is fantastic, the surrounds are wonderful and the food provisions were exceptionally fresh and delicious. The fire at night with a glass of red wine topped off a great evening and was followed by freshly baked sourdough at the door in the morning.

  A very beautiful and quiet place to relax and unwind. Loved the big veggie garden, the chickens and their delicious eggs. Will definitely be back - especially for the frogs!

  Could not contemplate staying anywhere else if we are in or around Forbes in the future. In fact we'll find an excuse to be in the region again just to spend a few more nights at Girragirra.
