My husband and I travelled down from Qld for a wedding and we couldn’t have picked a more beautiful place to stay. The cottage was very comfortable and host Alan was very welcoming. The scenery was amazing. Our stay was peaceful, relaxing and tranquil. Highly recommend

The perfect place to relax

Loved the setting. We spent most of our stay quietly sitting on the covered verandah …just enjoying where we were … We loved watching the birds. Our favourites were the fairy wrens, who were very busy hopping about in the garden. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed.

very quiet. Pretty garden. It was a bit cool inside as it’s winter now. Only one oil heater. It’s marketed as passive solar fit ceiling is vey high so sun effect on cold tiles was minimal . I stayed for 7 days but will try something different next time. Very good winery up a quiet road. Walkable but closes at 5pm

A quiet lovely spot

A delightfully quiet, calm and easy stay in Back Forest was just what I needed! Brilliantly comfortable bed, outstanding water pressure in the shower and a cosy sofa for lazing about on. Close to everything needed, well equipped and peaceful. Can't wait to get back.

Quite getaway

Cute little cottage away from busy towns. Would of loved to of sit out and look over at the mountain but the front hedge was a bit tall so could take in the view. As lighting was very dim and was impossible to read a book. But otherwise great getaway.

Ok but would not return

Property is ok but elements need work, not inviting, hot water lasted 3 minutes. Very poorly lit. Uncomfortable bed. Not an overly enjoyable stay! Photos posted are somewhat misleading. From the outside it looked like an abandoned residence…. Booking was made for 3 adults and 1 child yet had to pay additional via a private transfer for the child…overall a disappointing stay!

Bestie weekend away

We had a relaxing weekend away from real life. The property was great, although I would recommend taking your slippers if staying in winter and overly sensitive to the cold! There is a heater in the lounge room and heated blankets on the two main beds which is nice. We were able to cook breakfast and dinner with no hassles. My personal fave aspect of the property was being able to hang out with the cow and sheep. I spoke to both owners of the property over the weekend whilst watching the animals, and both were encouraging to pat the animals if I wanted :-) I would also recommend getting outside for the sunset - I was treated to a beautiful backdrop whilst hanging out with Mr Brown Cow and the two sheep. Beautiful little spot which is perfect if you are looking to get away from city life.

Relaxing break away from home

Lovely place to stay. Quaint mudbrick cottage but very modern inside. All the facilities needed for a relaxing 3 days stay. Pleasant and helpful owners on site. Ran out of wash machine liquid and shower gel but no big deal. Sitting on patio with a cuppa and gazing over the fields, flower beds and watching wildlife and birds helped us de-stress in midst of a tough time for all. Highly recommended.

Great Little Getaway

Had a lovely stay for a girls weekend away. The hosts were lovely...beds are comfy and warm...shower was hot and has great pressure...the property and the views are very serene...located close to Berry and there was the added bonus of fruit trees at the location and the hosts were more than happy to help ourselves 😊
