    We thoroughly enjoyed our night 'glamping' in the dome. It was very quiet, comfortable and relaxing.

    The breakfast was excellent. Patrick and Amber were great hosts, very knowledgeable about the area. The facilities were excellent with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Would recommend this for a unique nights accommodation.

    Nothing to be honest. It was shared kitchen which I'm not usually a fan of but you can easily flow as you like to connect or avoid people. And it has more facilities, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and award winning wine/beer options than the best hotels.

    Without question, one of the best luxury hotel/Glamping experiences we've ever had and we've had our fair share. You realise the journey to Kurow is worth it the moment you turn off onto the hidden dirt road and follow the easy signs to this secret paradise. Amber and Patrick (and Jock the Bordie Collie) greet you with warmth and professionalism before guiding you to you private sanctuary (tent) filled with fairy lights, soft faux fur rugs, a bed that rivals any 5-star hotel and a view over the valley that takes your breath away. If you're in the mood for a warm outdoor bath under the stars you're in the right place. If not, just sit out on your private deck and watch the sun set. And then there's the complimentary breakfast! Patrick and Amber gather fresh eggs laid by their hens (that you can feed should you wish) accompanied by fresh bread, butter, hand made jams/marmalade and fabulous coffee! I'll be honest, it’s not easy to please us. Having worked on the luxury travel industry for over a decade, we can get picky. But I'd pick Valley Views Glamping 100 times over and recommend it to everyone i know. Hot tip: if you can afford it and it's available definitely book the Station Peak Dome. Trust me. 😍

    We didn’t realise the light in our room (dorm 2) was not functioning the way it should be. Wanted to check with the host at night but it was not so convenient. Hope it’s fixed now.

    Memorable and breathtaking glamping experience with very thoughtful host. The place including the baths were amazingly clean and well kept for a “camp-like” site relying on largely natural resources. Home cooked dinner was great but would have loved to do our own BBQ if we could have arrived earlier instead.

    The unit we had was without a heater. Perhaps a gas heater would be good as it was very cold. The side table was also wobbly.

    The view was just spectacular and the dome was very spacious. It had basically everything - chairs, sofa, candles and fairy lights. The communal kitchen and dining area was very well equipped...plates, glasses, teas, coffees, pots and pans and a bbq. The hosts Patrick and Amber were very friendly and helpful.
