Quiet country retreat 2 minutes from the CBD

Set at the end of the beautiful and iconic King George V Memorial Avenue of English Oaks you will find this wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The accommodation is a large self-contained cabin with all the mod cons to make your stay comfortable. It is located 2.0 kms from the CBD and is set in the grounds of a country home surrounded by green lucerne fields and huge shade trees. The garden is a sanctuary for wildlife. The road is a dead end so there are only a few cars belonging to the residents.
If you need to get away from it all and connect with nature whilst only a stones throw from Tamworth city then this is the place.
The cabin has a queen sized bed which will sleep a couple or a single.
As it is a wildlife sanctuary and we have our own pets (which we are happy to share) we unfortunately must say no to pets coming to stay.

Country Escape

Royal Oaks was the perfect place to stay for us. After busy family time it was so nice to return to the quietness of Royal Oaks. Uber transport was fast and efficient. We had everything to cook in if needed. We felt very safe and comfortable.

A cozy cabin on a beautiful property

David and Christine were such lovely hosts and made us feel so welcome and at home! Such a beautiful and serene property ! Our favourite part was waking up each morning to be greeted by all their beautiful animals, especially Quasi and Amy. I can’t wait for the next adventure here! Thank you to the most wonderful hosts!

Great Getaway!

A cosy little place away from the hustle and bustle of city life. My wife and I enjoyed a couple of days staying in the quiet and comfortable retreat. Great communication prior to arrival, with Chris making sure things were perfect for our stay. Whilst being close to the city centre, you very quickly lose that perception and transition quickly to a country outlook. Loved it!!

A good choice

If you want to stay in a place close to town yet in the country this is a good choice to make. David and Christine were very friendly and helpful. The large open plan accommodation was comfortable and had everything we needed. A friendly bird tapped on the kitchen window each morning and there were lovely cockatoos in the garden. We are in our 80’s and have travelled a great deal and can thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.

Great accommodation & location!

5 minute drive out of Tamworth on tar road, quiet location, cabin had everything anyone could want - great bed, shower, full kitchen, verandah, lots of trees & lovely garden to enjoy. Avenue of 85 year old oak trees on either side of road on way there was lovely. Would definitely stay there again.
