Great spot, quiet. My wife commented, "I think this is one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed." There is obviously a lot of effort put into cleanliness. It was cool while we were there so the fireplace was great.

Delighted from the moment we stepped in the door. The place is very private, spacious , impeccably clean and very well appointed. Very close to the National Park. A lovely recharge and getaway from the big smoke.

Dear Karen
Thank you for a lovely review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Tree Tops, Ravensbourne. We are in a beautiful location and it is a pleasure to share it. Hope to see yo here again.

It is a great place to stay. I loved this cosy, beautiful chalet. The only thing that I would like to recommend to the manager is adding a dishwasher to the place as I believe no one enjoys spending their time washing the dishes on holiday. And also leaving some sauces in the fridge would be great.
Thank you🙂

Great City Escape
Robs place is great for unwinding and have some relaxed time with family. The cottage is set beautifully alongside the national park with all amenities.
We had good time sitting alongside the fireplace on all three nights.
Rob is a great host always available for help on the phone and in person.
Cheers

Loved our stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Kookaburra Cottage. Everything was immaculate and it was a very relaxing environment, everything you'd need in the cottage too. We walked up to the on-site restaurant for dinner which has a great view. Communication was great coming up to our stay and i'll definitely return for a longer stay next time.
