About Barrington River Lodge
From the minute we stepped out of our car we fell in love with Barrington River Lodge. The sound of the running river, the frogs croaking in the dam and the beauty of the surrounding nature. We felt at home. It may have been a rainy day but it didn’t matter. We are honoured now to be the new custodians and will carry forward the dreams of John and Marianne staying true to the founding intention of this special place. A place for people to unwind and reconnect with nature.

I came to Barrington to relax bike and kayak, and I think I found the best spot, the accommodation was faultless it had everything I could possibly want, knowing there was no mobile reception or tv internet I was already prepared so not disappointed. In my opinion, it’s the best spot to paddle from Bindara to, such an easy access to the river, I paddled 15km from Bindara to the lodge straight into a warm shower, then BBQ dinner. It’s close enough to Gloucester 10-15 mins yet far enough away in the wilderness. The hosts were fantastic, easy going yet precise information, I’d definitely recommend Barrington River Lodge and I’ll definitely be back, I found my spot in Barrington!
