We had bacon and eggs and ate on our deck with the very friendly birds and critters.
Nothing, it was perfect!
Everything about this place is just magical! From and enormous breakfast hamper, to very tasty port to animal life to silence! Paradise....abolute PARADISE!
The length of my stay!
The cottages were in a beautiful location surrounded by rainforest. Sitting on the deck, we could watch and feed the local wildlife, and the book of photographs helped us easily identify them. John was a friendly host that was more than happy to help us with whatever we needed. Everything we needed for our stay was provided in the cottage. The breakfast hamper, port and chocolates were great too.
Having to leave.
unbeatable location in the rainforest, comfortable and well equipped.Close to local attractions ( if you manage to leave the cottage!)
Breakfast is handy n delicious.We had bed bug bites! Maybe is the bed.Need to check.
Maybe conduct spot lighting at nite.
location, friendly hosts and considerate facilities. It is very good location for birders and nature lovers.
there are some little fruits drop down on roof during night sometimes.
I loved the wilderness feel of the place. The staff were friendly and went above expectations. The whole experience was memorable and the wildlife seen was fantastic.
There was nothing to dislike
Awesome! John gave us a friendly welcome and a tip for a chance to get a visit from a striped possum during our stay - it worked! When we hopped out at our cabin, there were lots of animals in view! A red-legged pademelon, musky rat-kangaroo, Bower's shrikethrush, grey-headed robin, brush turkey, Lewin's honeyeaters AND Victoria's riflebirds!!! We saw a male display before we even went inside our cabin! We enjoyed listening to the eastern whipbirds and spotted catbirds of the morning, and after looking for Boyd's forest dragons at Lake Eacham one day - no luck - we saw two in a chase from our cabin! Groceries, eateries, and lovely wildlife-spotting nature-based walks are within a 10-15 minute drive away!
Loved the location and the opportunity to see and feed the wildlife! The cottages exceeded our expectations as well! Very nice and clean with everything you need in the kitchen, large bathroom and shower/tub, and nice patio to see all the birds and pademelons. Awesome stay!
The cottages were amazingly peaceful and relaxing. The hosts John and Jenny were very friendly, and the special inclusions were very thoughtful- food to feed the birds and padymelons, the breakfast hamper, port to have by the fire with unlimited wood, DVDs to watch and bubble bath liquid for the bath. Highlights were hand feeding the rifle birds and watching the male courting dance, as well as watching a mother padymelon with her offspring and three very cute and timid musky kangaroo rats.
Everything was so well thought of, but perhaps only the lighting in the cabin which was dark with no lights on but a bit harsh when they were on. The bedroom would be nice with the option of softer reading lights.
I don’t have words to describe how beautiful and cozy that cottage in the middle of the rainforest close to Lake Eacham is. Simply fantastic!
The internet is not so good, but what’s the point to have internet in a cottage? Everything was great!
Very secluded, beautiful setting in the middle of a rainforest. Surrounded by nature. There were birds of Paradise dancing on our Balcony. Lots of nature. Large venue with well thought out decor - Comfortable. Very kind and generous hosts.
Wifi a bit patchy if you need to access the internet for business/work.
Loved the special themed cottage and the wildlife. Amazing to hand feed all the animals. It was super clean and the brekkie hamper was delicious. We will be back.
We loved everything
our first time here and wont be our last, it rained the whole time and was still wonderful, in the past I have never rated 10/10 for anywhere as I believe no place is absolutely perfect, but I give these cottages 10/10 everything was thought of, like fresh flowers, candles etc.
nothing to say here
Location, surrounds, hosts
Shower
Everything. I had two criteria - quiet and cool. Both boxes were ticked. Waking up in the middle of a rainforest was amazing, the wildlife was amazing and the property was so comfortable. I liked that I could cook, with a really kitted out kitchen, over Christmas. The breakfast hamper was abundant. Getting meal worms and pellets to feed the birds and local characters was a treat.
The location was brilliant. Right in the middle of the rainforest.
The cottage was starting to show its age, but the new appliances etc were very good.
