star rating  We had a delightful bed and breakfast experience staying at carpe diem guesthouse thanks to our attentive host Kathryn. With scones and a warm fire on arrival and a delicious... read more hot breakfast each morning we felt very spoilt. We loved sitting out on the patio in the afternoon taking in the rural vista. It was also an easy drive to the iconic scenic locations of captain thunderbolt's hideout, bald rock and boonoo boonoo falls. Highly recommend this b&b for a fabulous Tenterfield experience.

star rating  Perfect start to our road trip - We spent 2 nights at Kathryn's beautiful B &B guesthouse. Kathryn was so warm, caring and welcoming, providing advice and suggestions which we very much appreciated. She even booked dinner... read more for us at the Commercial Hotel which was perfect.
We enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea on our arrival and the home cooked breakfast menu was terrific.
Our room was lovely, the gardens and views amazing and Kathryn lit the wood fire for us so we never felt the cold.
Treat yourself to a luxury stay. You won't regret it.

star rating  Perfect surroundings with the perfect host - This is a fabulous place to stay. Kathryn is the perfect host. From the personal meet and greet accompanied by a warm fire lit for our arrival, homemade scones and... read more tea or coffee, to the homemade breakfasts around a country table, and a great comfortable room, everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. The views are incredible and while it’s close to true town it’s set on a beautiful property to provide a truly rural escape. The guesthouse is immaculate and nothing is too much for Kathryn. Booking us dinner each night and providing ideas for what to do see Kathryn will also arrange specific things for you to do. If you want a picnic basket to take away for the daydone; meat for the bbqdone; extra blanket or ammenitiesdone. She’ll even arrange yoga and painting classes if you like. Amazing!!!!! We’ll be back and next time for a longer stay.

Such a beautiful newly... read more built home, peaceful and relaxing. Kathryn was the perfect host and a great cook. On our second day we explored Tenterfield and The Granite Belt - wineries, good food and stunning Girraween National Park. Will definitely be back. Oh and thanks Kathryn for the Bad Manners recommendation - a great spot in Tenterfield for coffee and doughnuts !
