Take in the magnificent back drop of open fields,tall trees,forests and the serene views of Myall Lakes.

The property "Forestdale"

"Forestdale" is a unique 25 acre property,the split level country style house is set high on a hill with 360 degree views, offering open, yet private outlooks from all rooms.Upstairs consists of an open style modern kitchen,lounge,three bedrooms and bathroom complete with undercover decks surrounded by glass handrails to offer uninterupted views even when sitting down in any of the chairs provided around the decks.
Winter warmth is provided by a timber burning slow combustion heater to make a very cosy stay indeed.
Venture downstairs via the undercover stairs and there is a huge games room complete with ping pong table and pool table, there is also a separate TV room with futon lounge for those extra guests and another shower toilet in the laundry.
There is a huge gas BBQ on the deck and outside under the enormous ironbark trees is the old campfire site to sit around and spin a yarn or two while you have an ale or two.Wood is provided so you can truly enjoy the experience of a campfire while the sun goes down.The sunsets are breathtakingly beautiful; to watch the surrounding countryside being bathe in the golden colours of the sun, is nature at its best, and an ideal time for a stroll around the parklike acreage and take in the superb,everchanging views.
When night comes, spend time to walk away from the house or campfire and take in the fantastic noises from the abundance of frogs,insects and marsupials in the valleys that surround you.
Then look up and gaze at the unbelievable beauty that is the milky way in all its splendor spread before you from north to south or the moon shedding down its white light to illuminate the fog sitting in the valleys around you.
Before the sun rises over the ridge of Mayers Flat is also a special time at "Forestdale" to behold the warmth and light of a new day filling the land and burning off the cool fog is a truly breathtaking experience which should not be missed.

  • "Quintessential gorgeous Australian farm, meets the Coast - how can you surpass this mixture! The owners were so kind & caring, we cannot speak more highly of them. The location of the farm is heaven itself! Great mobile internet coverage. The views left our family 5 + Grandpa - speechless. Sitting round the campfire counting stars at night, or a quick trip to Seal Rocks - where we debated the fact that the beaches were far better than Fiji, Bali, hey no plane costs. Our teens escaped downstairs to the table tennis, pool table & music. Let alone the 25 acres! We adults put our feet up and totally chilled out. LOVED IT. Huge fridge gave ample space for all our needs. Thank you doesn't seem enough said. We'll definitely go back."

  • "Pauline, We are in love with Forestdale! We had a brilliant weekend away and really appreciate your kind, warm and professional service. We discovered the dog friendly beach in Hawks Nest this trip where our Goldie LOVED chasing the seagulls! We were excited to meet your chicken whom was super friendly and we fondly named 'Henny Penny'. :) Thank you for always being so helpful and prompt when responding to my many questions and booking requests. I will ALWAYS recommend Forestdale to anyone! "

  • "Hi Pauline, Sorry it's taken so long to comment. We would like to thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise with us. This was the best family holiday we've had. Forestdale was warm and welcoming, our oldest daughter loved collecting the eggs each day and talking to the cows and adored the little calf. The view over the valley is breathtaking. Our youngest who's now 8 mths learned to crawl forward in your lounge room so let's say we've had a very memorable holiday. We hope to visit Forestdale for in the near future. "

  • "WHAT AN AMAZING PROPERTY!! We LOVED our stay at Forestdale and are itching to come back! It was the perfect getaway from busy Sydney life! Our 10month old Golden Retriever couldn't contain herself with all the land to run around in, big dogs to bark at (cows), and plenty of toys and balls to find and chew! - The property is everything the website describes! Im sorry it has taken so long to write a comment on here, but months on, and we still tell everyone how wonderful a location Forestdale is and how perfectly set-up the house is! - Could do with a few new ping-pong balls but otherwise, it was the most relaxing, picturesque, soul cleansing holiday we've had! Thank you Pauline! I hope you will have us again! :)"

  • "We stayed at this place about 3 weeks and we absolutely loved it. The house is quite comfortable, had everything we needed, and the views and scenery were just brilliant! Everyone was amazed with the secluded location and the beauty of the surroundings. We enjoyed many walks with our dog, and our grandchildren loved being able to run around the safe grounds of the property. A bonus was the lovely hen that layed eggs for breakfast!We will definitely come back to Forestdale. "

  • "We've just returned from a wonderful weekend at Forestdale with another family. The property is in a great location with lovely views of the surrounding area. The house is comfortable and a good price for a weekend away. We loved the firepit, outdoor deck, chooks, cows and bbq. Even had the first swim of the season at nearby Seal Rocks. We'd recommend Forestdale to other families looking for a country getaway only 3 hours from Sydney. "

  • "We are a family of four and my main requirement for our holiday was that it was somewhere quiet and without neighbours on top of us. Forestdale indeed delivered. Just a few hours north of Sydney, we found ourselves on 25 acres of property, surrounded by hillside. This was however not remote, as it was a short drive to the lakes, coast and national parks.The house is ideally placed on a hill and it has an all-round balcony, so whatever the weather you can sit out there and take in the scenery.The house was well furnished and the kitchen had everything that was needed.More importantly, the owner was very helpful from our first contact and was responsive when needed.The pool table just needs some attention, but otherwise we had a great time."

  • "After much debate as to where my future Belgian Wife and I would get married we settled on the idea of a rather creative / casual wedding, amongst gum trees and wild bush birds. After enquiring with the owners of Forestdale for our four day wedding stay, to our delight they were more than happy to assist us in our accommodation needs and add free creative licience of decoration for the special day. Neadless to say our stay was AMAZING. Our memories filled with wonderful glipsess of all our friends enjoying the property and its ability to deliver the rather broad experience we both had in our minds eye. So others know, our wedding consisted of a weekend stay with 15 people staying fri sat nights. Thouse who did not have a bed in the house slept in a tent and my wife and I slept in the Cow Shed. ! Yep the Cow shed. Yes, even the cow shed looked amazing for our honey moon evening...... say no more. We catered for 30 people for our wedding lunch and catering was done by a local friend ( Julia ) of Forestdale owners. Everyone who attended the wedding thought it the perfect location for such an event and at some point 80 % of the guests will return of there own accord I am sure. Thanks again to all at forestdale for your assistance, your catering contacts "
