Little slice of peaceful heaven.

Pics don't do the place justice. It's quiet, private, spacious, cozy, plenty of wildlife around, and close walking distance to what is needed to wind down.

Our host Mary communicated well prior to our check in (via key safe). We were there during the recent flooding at Wye River and Mary went above and beyond expectations by calling by in the midst of the storm to see if we were OK (we were) or needed anything (we didn’t). Lots of books games and DVDs to keep us occupied during the storm. Comfortable house. Downside is the challenging walk up the steep steep hill on the way back from the beach.

Thank you Rosemary for your wonderful review. I suppose living in Wye River one gets quite used to the hill climbs. To be amongst the forrest canopy or to have a view, there must be some height/climbing involved!! So pleased you enjoyed your stay despite the challenging weather and flooding event.

Beautiful trees scape close to Wye Beach

We loved our stay. True to advertised photos. We had two late evening koala guests on the balcony as we had a glass of wine, highlight of our stay! The home is cosy, was warm on arrival, (thank you Mary) and we took the king bed in the second bedroom which was heaven to sleep in. It’s a lovely walk down to the Wye beach and rock pools but a challenging walk back, I did it at 59 years so absolutely doable. A great tranquil stay for us.thanks Mary for your warm welcome and prior communication.

Your own private Fern Gully

This place is a stylish, cosy little 70s tree house situated in lush rainforest. On Christmas Day, a beautiful king parrot flew onto my partner's shoulder while we were on the balcony. Then, the rosellas and cockatoos came to say hello. The kitchen was perfect for cooking a big Christmas meal, with massive bench space, sharpened knives and good utensils. It was perfect!
