Fantastic living area and an amazing view from the top level, opening onto a generous balcony. Had a really good weekend away, would not hesitate to visit again.

We spent an amazing week at Forest Edge, there was plenty of room inside and out, and lots of activities for the kids. The soccer table and tennis tables were definately favorite. The views from all of the bedrooms and back deck were mesmerising. The parrot feeding, and koala visits just added to holiday. As for the accomodation, it was extremely clean, spacious, and extremely well equipped. Would definately recommend, it is perfect for a few families together. We hope to visit again soon.

Thanks Ross for the great stay again - it was wonderful to return and we're already thinking about coming back next month! There were nine of us with plenty of room to stretch out, relax, feed parrots on the deck, play Scrabble and ping pong (lots!), or sit on the sofa in the sun with a fantastic view of the sea and one really hungry koala. The only real dilemma is do we take a beautiful walk along the river or the beach, or do we stay in the lovely house and take it easy?

Back to nature and total relaxation. A great way to reconnect with disengaging teenagers! Table tennis tournaments, trivial pursuit, mad swimming in the very cold ocean, old movies by the fire and especialy reading by the window, sun streaming in occasionally looking up to spot a koal or fabulous parrot....Bliss for me and four teenagers. They even went on the swings!!

We had a wonderful time at Forest Edge - it was even nicer than we expected, and we particularly loved the big sunny deck (with such great views) and the wood fire. Lots and lots of birdlife and a koala climbing a very small tree right outside the door! We were a big group but had plenty of space and we're already planning next year's return.
