'Imagine sitting in a spa in the middle of the bush, glass of wine in hand. As a glorious spring day turns to dusk you spot some wallabies and their joeys feeding on the nearby lawn, galahs fly overhead. This was how we ended our first day at Dargan Springs...' - Sydney Morning Herald
'Guests can make Dargan Springs as much of a health retreat as they want - or use it simply as a hide-away…it has an edge on rival retreats thanks to the many thoughtful touches that have been added.' - Sun Herald
'While 50% of guests came as couples, a most enjoyable aspect of my stay was how easy it was to socialise, even though I came alone' - Sunday Telegraph
'Dargan Springs is the ideal place for anyone looking to get back to nature, albeit in the luxurious rather than rough-and-ready sense.' - Sydney Morning Herald, Good Weekend: 52 Weekends Away

'I was intrigued by the concept of Dargan Springs and delighted that the experience lived up to its description. It's a truly restful, uniquely beautiful location, with luxury accommodation and warm but unobtrusive hospitality...' Mark O'Brien, Director, QiYoga, Manly
'Wonderful place - planning to be back with more friends. Everyone can benefit from a haven like this.' July 2003
'Welcoming, relaxing and peaceful... the real meaning of a "retreat" where you can just take time out from the world. The owners have thoughtfully provided an environment that caters to different ways of relaxing and re-energizing: from quiet areas for reading to invigorating walks in the beautiful surrounding bushland.' Steve and Mara Klemich, Achievements Concepts, Sydney
