A tastefully designed property in a beautiful rural setting under the magnificent Milky Way!! Yet still just a 5 minute drive into town.

Diana and Tony (and Lucky their dog and Tommy their cat) were so hospitable whilst still respecting privacy. Breakfast supplies were in abundance! And state of the art stables if you are traveling with horses! Happily recommend.

Our stay at Tui Lodge was wonderful. Diana greets you to check into the separate flat and makes sure you settle. She gave great recommendations of things to do in the area and where to have dinner. Tony her husband and Diana are both warm and friendly hosts who make you feel welcome but also give you privacy and space.

The surrounds are beautiful, with geese, cows, horses, ducks and their pet cat and dog. The flat has all the amenities with continental breakfast left for us. The main bed was warm with an electric blanket to keep us cosy. The bathroom is beautiful with a big bathtub and rain shower. We will definitely be back with our kids some time soon. Thank you Diana and Tony for a lovely stay!

Stop searching for places and stay here at Tui Lodge! My husband, daughters (12 and 14) and I LOVED our stay for so many reasons.

1. Our hosts, Diana and Tony are the best kind of people. Warm, friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. Their suggestions of things to do and go were spot on. My daughters loved them and said they were the sweetest people.

2. The accommodation is beautiful. Super clean, warm, and very comfortable with spectacular views. Can not fault it.

3. A generous larder. We arrived 6pm on Sunday night, thinking we would need to find a servo for milk and bread. But the fridge contained milk, bread, butter, eggs, OJ and yoghurt. The cupboard had cereals, local jams etc and Walkers Shortbread. All we had to do was put our feet up.

4. The property is beautiful. So peaceful and quiet. Loved the dog and cat in particular.

5. Glen Innes and surrounds are lovely and well worth a visit.

Absolutely a place to return to.

Warm, friendly country hospitality from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed. A relaxing, rejuvenating stay in a beautiful area. Diana and her husband live directly beside the accommodation, they left us alone. However, we enjoyed many chats with them during our 3 night stay.

We had the best time at Tui Lodge. It is such a quiet and peaceful escape with every amenity you could possibly need. The hosts were very friendly and the animals and views were superb. Lots to do and visit in Glen Innes and surrounds to suit all interests. We will definitely be back!

I could not speak highly enough about this accommodation. Great distance to town. Stunning views at all times of the day. Accommodation is modern, immaculately clean, stocked with every thing you need and the breakfast provided is generous. Tony and Diana are incredible hosts being hospitable, genuine and kind. They were absolute life savers when we happened some last minute requirements and went above and beyond to help us out. The host accommodation is close but you still feel private as the property is perfectly set up for hosting. This place is a must stay for the Glen Innes area and we will definitely be recommending to family to and friends.

From the moment we arrive we felt right at home! Diana and Tony were such amazing hosts. The lodge is even nicer in person! Thankyou so much and we hope you'll have us again x

Sweedy Mar 23

Tui Lodge is a hidden GEM, Awesome sunsets and tranquil sunrises. Diana and Tony are wonderful hosts who went out of their way to make us feel at home. Even our Pomeranian Blitz felt at ease in his new surroundings. Glen Innes town center 5 minutes up the road. Wondering the property, you can't help but see the love and hard work Diana and Tony have put in. The horse stables first class. Added highlight was feeding the horses. Thank you again Gus, Sweedln & Blitz.

Diana and Tony have been lovely hosts that offered a fantastic and tranquil home on their relatively new farm. We enjoyed the clean and spacious rooms, the huge kitchen with views, the animals and the nice bath tub. Diana had prepared for all our needs from baby bed to breakfast. We highly recommend staying here - if you have a car.

Kelly Jan 23

This was the most beautiful and comfortable place to stay. The hosts made my family, including our 2 furbabies feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The accommodation had everything we needed to make it feel like a home away from home……right down to the continental breakfast and the board games. We have stayed in many places and this is by far one of the nicest. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!!

R Jan 23

Diana and Tony were the perfect hosts. They went above and beyond to welcome our family and make us feel at home. The venue was perfectly presented with quality finishes. 5 star accommodation and 5 star service. Peaceful surroundings and picturesque drive up to the house. The kids loved the animals. Our stay at Tui Lodge will be in our hearts forever.

Mikayla Dec 22

Very impressed with our stay here newly built accommodation with scenic views and a lovely host. Perfect spot to relax and see the sites of the area.

Hamish Dec 22

This AirBnB is up there with some of the best we have stayed at globally. The rooms are massive, bathroom has been designed with every comfort and the kitchen flows well to the dining table, lounge and then outside.

The patio is perfect to sit, relax and take in the amazing view. The fact it is only a 5 minute drive to town is ideal for a farm stay but with all the amenities.

We have found our home away from home.

Candace Dec 22

Thank you so much for having our family at your lovely air bnb.
The kids loved seeing the horses and exploring the farm on their scooters and of course playing the board games.
Your warm and welcoming energy made us feel right at home. James and I felt the place to be quiet, peaceful and serene. The perfect place to relax and unwind, we are really looking forward to coming back already!!

Adrienne Nov 22

This place is honestly hands down the place you need. Peaceful, quiet and the most caring and thoughtful hosts. We had a beautiful three night stay with amazing views, Di and Tony were always ready to accomodate anything we needed, like places to go or things to see around Glenn Innes. It’s the perfect place to relax and sit around a nice camp fire. Plenty of room for families or just couples. We will never forget this place and most definitely be back.

If we could give Diana and Tony more than 5 stars we would! Firstly due to our drive up to Glen Innes taking hours longer than planned due to roadworks further south we didn't arrive until just before midnight, and still they were both there to welcome us in, show us the property and even hand us hot water bottles for the children even though they had electric blankets heating up the beds for us all. The thoughtful food items which were provided were above expectations, including the jams and crumpets which were a big hit the next morning. The property looks out over wide open spaces and scattered with cows, horses and sheep. The fire pit in the evening was perfect and set up for us by Tony & Diana.
Tony generously lent our son his guitar which was wonderful as we couldn't fit our son's in the car due to the amount of luggage we already had.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay again, only difference would be for a longer period, we just didn't have enough time. If you are looking for a clean and modern property in a tranquil location with excellent hosts and everything you need then stay here, you wont be disappointed.

Diana and Tony's place is very clean, comfortable and has everything you need. We would 100% recommend to stay here. Diana and Tony is incredible accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions or needs.

The place is ver quite and has stunning views. The place is brand new and modern. All the rooms are amazing and the bathroom has even a bathtub to soak yourself after a long day. The shower pressur is amazing too.

The Queen Size bed has an electric blanket for those cold nights.

We would highly recommend this beautiful patch of heaven.

And your little furry friend has so much space to run around

No matter how small or big your needs are, Diana and Tony will have no trouble to help you out.

It was hard to say Goodbye to Diana and Tony and the place itself.

Jess Sept 22

Diane and Tony are a friendly, down to Earth couple who offer a warm welcome and ensure your stay is enjoyable. The property is new and it was immaculately clean. They have thought of every last detail. There is a bbq, firepit, coffee machine, highchair, Netflix, indoor and outdoor table, dishwasher, airconditioning, boardgames, fruit and other brekky essentials. The list goes on! The scenery is simply stunning. The resident horses and geese were a big hit with our little ones. We will definitely be back to stay next time we are in Glen Innes.

Cameron Sept 22

We can not recommend this place highly enough. The property is brand new, immaculatly clean, very comfortable beds and lounge with a good size full equipped kitchen. Dinning tables inside and outside under a big pergola with a fire pit to enjoy on those cold evenings. We are a family of 6 Mum, Dad and for 4 girls 10,9,5 and 3 and fit very comfortably and loved the view with the morning coffee's. Our host Dianna and Tony are truly remarkable and kind people we blew the motor in our car towing our camper trailer 2 hours from their property and their offers to help us out was nothing short of amazing and really helped us through a stressful and tricky period. They were so welcoming to our family on arrival and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy during or visit. So if you are wanting a bit of RnR in the country or just somewhere amazing to stay you will not be disappointed, the personal little touches with fresh fruit. milk and bread etc was beautiful and really topped it off. If you are not after RNR there is plenty to do to keep everyone amused and a great grass area to utilise for outdoor activities or play some of the supplied board and card games for some indoor fun. I have no hesitation giving this property a 5 out of 5 rating and will definatley be back some day.
