Orara Valley Tourist Trail

01/06/2024

This could be fun to have someone from the Orara Valley on the show! If you know a single farmer who may be keen, you have 2 weeks to act!

How great would it be to have a farmer from our area?? The Production Team have reached out to us. THERE'S ONLY 2 WEEKS LEFT OF CASTING....
So if you know any single farmers, please don’t hesitate to dob them in. They can keep it completely confidential and they'll just tell the farmer that a mate dobbed them in and leave it at that. Share away!
========================================

FINAL CALL FOR ALL SINGLE FARMERS 🤠❤️ The next series of Farmer Wants a Wife are looking for five farmers ready to fall in love. Join the success stories from the past 14 seasons with 10 Marriages, 9 Relationships and 26 Children. For further information DM .eadington on FB. Or why not help them along and dob-in a farmer by tagging them on this post, alternately you can email [email protected]

What a great review from a recent guest at Friday Creek Resort.

Tucked amongst the hinterland’s rolling hills, the resort cottages offer privacy and seclusion only 15 minutes from the coastal city of Coffs Harbour.

Friday Creek Retreat is set on 100 acres in our beautiful Orara Valley.

All cottages come with fully equipped kitchens, open fireplaces in winter and majestic views year round. Whether you are seeking to simply hide away for a while, rekindle romance or share a special time with friends and family, the hinterland resort is your private paradise.

Vacation
It’s been at least 10 years since I stayed in one of these lovely cabins. They are still as beautiful as ever. And the latest owners, Dianne and Paul, are eager to please. As a writer, this place is perfect. In four days the atmosphere helped me write 7,000 words. I’d love to stay a month and write a great book. Four words sum up my feelings about Friday Creek: I love it here.

Oh - and for the owners’ sake, please book direct. Don’t let overseas bookings websites grab 70% of their profit. Please. 😳😊

And don't forget, they feature menu specials all week, so head up and try something new!
