The hosts were very friendly and helpful with suggestions to visit local attractions around the area. The location was fantastic. It’s a great location to launch from to see all the surrounding areas from Geringong, Seven Mile Beach, Currarong, Hyams Beach, Berry and Kangaroo Valley. The house itself was great located on a small farm, with lots of country charm.

Beautiful property! Cabin may be basic, but very comfortable, spacious, kitchen is well kitted out for cooking for 5. Could walk down to the river to take out our kayak, walk to nearby winery. A relaxing and peaceful stay!

The place was in fairly good condition and nice little place to stay. We had 4 adults and 2 kids and the size was sufficient for our group. The only negative is that I thought the price was a bit high. We really liked the garden though and the surrounding area is very nice

Weekend away

We were in town to visit family at the local hospital. The cottage was a welcome respite. It was clean, beds were comfy and the kitchen had all we needed.

Peaceful rural stay

Close enough to Nowra and all the surrounding beaches. Most important for us however, was the peaceful view of cattle and hills. Everything we needed for a short stay.

The perfect farm stay away from the city

The property was exactly what we needed - clean, cosy, great location. Alan was exceptionally helpful with our questions and their recommendations for things to do in the area were awesome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Alan!

cozy mud brick cottage with beautiful garden in a peaceful location. Check in was easy and good communication with the owner. A great base to explore the surrounding area. Really appreciated fresh eggs from the chickens!

Great Getaway!

We had a lovely stay at Sunrise Cottage. Very quiet and relaxing location. Alan was a fantastic host and always there to help with any enquiries we had. Just a very small point, as we were staying for 6 nights we could have done with an extra towel each :) but other than that we were very impressed with the property and our stay

Back Forest Retreat

Our time at BFR hosted by Alan met all our hopes. The cleanliness of the property was first class. Alan could not have been more helpful in meeting all our requests and we shall certainly consider returning for another visit. The wines that we purchased from Two Figs Winery next door are also of excellent quality.

A lovely mix of mini-farm-stay but in accommodation with all of the modern conveniences. Loved the quiet location, feeding the very friendly chickens, birdlife, and lovely hosts. Yes, the property (more so the surrounds) aren't immaculately curated, but that was absolutely fine with us. The only real negative was the advertised gas heating had been removed, and the replacement oil heaters were a tad inadequate. Would definitely like to return in the non-winter period.

Our little getaway

A lovely, cozy, homely place to stay, felt like we were miles away from anywhere. Comfy bed and great facilities. The serenity was pure, and the games room provided a much needed platform for fun and connection playing pool, table tennis and chatting. If i had one suggestion it would be a more substantial welcome pack with milk, bread, eggs, oil and butter but otherwise an excellent stay. Alan was very welcoming, warm and accommodating. Highly recommend

A small piece of paradise

Such a beautiful location. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but we were close to so many lovely places. Our hosts knew how to balance everything perfectly. They were welcoming, friendly and attentive but not intrusive at all. The cottage is very comfy with everything you need and the fire pit is great to sit around at night

Charming farm stay

When we arrived the owner (Allan) came over and gave us figs from his orchard. Flowers are beautiful. Birdlife, native blue bees, lizards, chickens, cattle and sheep - so lovely, and you can contribute to feeding some of them. Very eco friendly, good air flow in house, pretty stained glass windows. Lovely stay, peaceful, and friendly owner. Thanks again Allan!

Stayed for 4 nights

House had too many overgrown plants outside resulting in alot of bugs and mozzies. Also lots of cobwebs inside the house. Definitely more effort could be put in to clean the house. Also despite having kitchen there was no basic cooking things like oil and salt. Decent stay but notbing special, housekeeping seems a bit lazy.
