Hot tub could have been warmer being winter and some kitchen amenities would have been nice too.

The property is beautiful, the house is stylish, the hot tub is good and birds beautiful

The fire pit outside was burnt through and unusable, cigarettes littered the ground in and around it. I understand that this wasn't the owners fault, but a clean up prior our arrival would have been nice. The bird seed jar was basically empty when we arrived, leaving none left for us to feed the birds - which was a selling point for us. A scratching noise in the ceiling kept us awake a lot (possibly a possum), but we informed the owners and they said they would look into it, which was good. There were also 2 empty containers of laundry liquid/powder which was a bit disappointing - either remove them or refill them. The larger wardrobe in the bedroom was padlocked, and the smaller one was filled with bedding, leaving us minimal storage for our clothes.

The cottage was cosy and clean. We didn't meet the owners but they were incredibly helpful in the lead up to our stay. The instructions provided were incredibly helpful. The location was lovely, isolated enough to feel relaxed but close enough to town to get what we needed.

The mattresses didn’t have protectors on them. All the beds were uncomfortable. Not enough cutlery we had 1 spoon and 4 guests trying to eat soup.

Location is amazing, the jacuzzi was hot and ready to jump in. The wildlife was so good…thanks for providing bird seed. That definitely was a highlight.

Front deck needs a little attention

It felt like we were in the middle of a rainforest and it was so quiet

The fire pit area in the backyard is a bit worn and could benefit from an update.

A very beautiful place with stunning nature, and the house has everything you need.

Nice views

Bunk bed wasn't the most comfiest bed Shower door could be replaced dishes, cups and cutlery left in the dishwasher

The location is fantastic, the facilities are great, the bird seed left under the sink, the jacuzzi was at a good temperature and clean. Great selections of games. Loved the lamp.

The whole place smelled like smoke from the fireplace. Probably would be fine with some ferbreze but at the time noticeable.

Excellent location and very comfortable beds.

Clumps of hair coming out of bath jets. Unkempt outdoors, pen marks on couch, tap taped up and water spraying everywhere, door didn’t close properly, bedding too cold

Beautiful location and wildlife, comfortable bed, amenities

The backside and bbq area was very dusty, unkept and dirty so we couldnt enjoy a relaxing evening to enjoy the views. Also the host didn't include backup toothpaste and toothbrush or a dishwashing sponge.

I liked the location and facility

Hot tub so full of chlorine it burns the eyes, bed was so bad we slept on the leather couch, advertised as isolation but the neighbours were in the same building on the other side of a locked door and we could hear everything they did.

Location is great, peaceful

Road into the property was a challenge for an 83yo. Power point in the kitchen seriously needs replacing.

Full kitchen. Large lounge. Two bedrooms. Well heated. And all surrounded by nature.

The site stated all day check in, which was important for us. However, a week prior to check in we found out that it was not the case. The wood logs for the fireplace were not dry and it took very long to start the fire. It was raining heavily and the rain leaked through the windows and doors.

Beautiful location and cabin. Isolated in the woods for privacy. Very tastefully styled. Clean and comfortable. Kitchen is very well equipped. Different teas available as well as coffee machine with coffee pods. Easy check in and out.

The location was great and the house was very quirt and secluded.

The driveway was quite steep and twisty, it was a little scary to suburban folks, but the sense of being right in the forest made it so worth it.

The sense of being right in the forest was so wonderful. The bird life and the wind through the trees was revigatrating. But the township was still so near for cafes and resturants, and to get those little things we inevitably forget.

Booked the spa cottage but unfortunately the spa didn’t work. Still a great spot and nice stay

Brook Cottage: this clean 2 bedroom cottage was perfect for our small group, with everything we needed for our stay. A highlight was watching the stunning Rosellas feed on our balcony! Thank you for a relaxing stay.

Retreat was very cute and comfortable, loved the location, facilities were fantastic 👌

The fireplace was a lovely feature, though we had to rearrange the furniture to keep our baby safe from it. While it took a bit of effort to get it burning perfectly without smoking the house, a canara might be a more suitable option for safety. Nonetheless, we enjoyed its warmth and ambiance.

We recently stayed at The Fernglen Forest Retreat for a 2-night getaway with my partner and our baby. Our experience was delightful, and here's why: The check-in process was simple, thanks to the detailed instructions provided by the hosts. We immediately felt at home in the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of both main bedrooms. We closed off the second part of the house. The cleanliness and uncluttered nature of the retreat added to our comfort. One of the highlights was the welcome guest rule book, which contained all the necessary details for our stay. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, allowing us to cook our meals with ease. The provided amenities meant we had everything we needed, including a baby high chair and a cot/playpen, which saved us from unpacking our own. The heated tiles in the bathroom were a luxury, especially with a baby in tow. Another highlight was the bird feed provided at the front door, which attracted a variety of birds. Our baby boy loved watching the parrots and cockatoos from the front window, which kept him entertained for hours. The TV with internet streaming services and strong Wi-Fi connection added to our convenience and entertainment. Overall, we highly recommend The Fernglen Forest Retreat as a perfect family getaway. The open living environment and thoughtful amenities make it an ideal choice for families looking to spend quality time together in a serene and comfortable setting.
