About Your Host
Lucy has a passion for people and sharing farm life. She has been running Waterfall Way Accommodation since late 2015, when she came home to help run the family farm near Wollomombi. Waterfall Way Farmstay started first as a way to meet travellers and share an insight in to farm life. The farm and accommodation work well together and you may meet the entire Frizell family during your stay! House on a Hill opened in mid 2020, an addition to the farm and a wonderful opportunity to share the beautiful Dorrigo scenery with a wider range of guests. Platypus Cabin opened in mid-July 2022, noted for its fabulous views across the farm and the Oaky River valley. Peppermint Flat Glamping is on the very same farm and is the best way to get up close and personal with nature. We can’t wait to welcome you!
House on a Hill, Dorrigo
