About Little Forest
Little Forest has a long colonial history. It is first mentioned in October 1820 when it was used as campsite by Governor Lachlan Macquarie and is named in his journal. In 1821 The original slab hut, now Lavender Cottage, was built 1822 and its worn sandstone floor can still be seen in the dining room. For the rest of the century and up until 1968 the Hambridge Family lived and farmed at Little Forest. The history of Little Forest in the Twentieth Century is closely linked to the artistic and cultural life of modern Australia. Ray Crooke OAM, the Archibald Prize-winning artist, bought the property for his family. Little Forest is family and pet friendly with its extensive grounds and friendly farm animals.

We will most certainly come back here again as it is just terrific. The cottage was just remarkable. Have not had a better time anywhere. Loved it! The staff at Highlands Holidays were so polite with smiles on their faces, which is big in my books
