A secret sanctuary surrounded by nature’s finest, Fern Cottage is designed exclusively for two lucky guests seeking a dreamy escape. Step into your own storybook hideaway, complete with a plush four-poster queen bed, a crackling open fireplace, and a deep, indulgent spa bath—perfect for unwinding together. Wake to the sounds of birdsong and enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast hamper on your first morning, best savoured in the peaceful embrace of the surrounding forest. The cottage is nestled among towering mountain ash trees, ancient ferns, and a kaleidoscope of seasonal blooms—camellias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and magnolias. The gardens, lovingly refreshed in 2024, are a magical wonderland that invite you to wander hand-in-hand, soaking in the beauty and serenity. Fern Falls Cottages includes both Fern Cottage and Garden Cottage, superbly located just 1km from charming Olinda village, where you’ll find boutique shops, a bakery, bottle shop, supermarket, and delightful cafés and restaurants. SkyHigh Observatory is just a 10-minute drive away, and many of the region’s most beautiful wedding venues are close by—making Fern Cottage ideal for honeymoons, proposals, or simply celebrating love. Let the forest embrace you.
