Lovely spot in the rainforest with a babbling stream adding to the ambience. The property had everything we needed and was light, airy and comfortable. Only a 5 minute drive to either South West Rocks shops or to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much. ##### Michael C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bruce T. 17 Oct 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Lovely location Property not clean on arrival . Barbecue was dirty and their weee no rubbish bags supplied . Or dishwasher tablets or liquid. Finally when we went to use the barbecue their was very little gas in there. So we had to go and buy more gas after we had come from a funeral. We were entertaining guests so you can imagine how that went down ##### Bruce T. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina W. 10 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Great house for a small family..just the 2 of us using it this time. Make sure you take more than just linen eg toilet paper, glad wrap, coffee tea milk as there is no start up pack. Clean apart from cobwebs, extremely peaceful. Loved the wallabies in the back yard. TV worked fine but having two controllers made it hard to regulate the sound. 1 controller appeared not to work so sound for Netflix appeared to acho. But a great base for the price ##### Tina W. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil I. 26 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A nice spot to stay Property was well prepared, clean and comfortable. If there was any recommendation, there was no clothes dryer which, in winter due to shading by tall trees, made drying clothes impossible even on sunny days. Overall though, a recommended place to stay. ##### Phil I. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Shanise L. 22 Feb 2022 #### Short stay Property very nice. Though lacked simple items such as soap, tea towel, bath towels, sauces for food ##### Shanise L. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Naomi T. 17 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Such a lovely stay, private and tranquil. Really enjoyed our stay. The house is very well designed and spacious. The yard was great for the little ones. Was a bit confused by the outdoor bathroom, didn’t realise it was included in the two bathrooms, a second indoor toilet would be great but the outdoor shower was a wonderful experience, we didn’t even use the indoor shower. ##### Naomi T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Veronica C. 8 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing retreat Lovely modern home in gorgeous rainforest setting, a very Zen environment, perfect for any sort of relaxing getaway. ##### Veronica C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels.d179992.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [all inclusive holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/all-inclusive-holidays) > > [Pattaya Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pattaya.d9514.Holidays-City-Breaks)
