The perfect location for a family with young kids!

9.0

The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Lots of things to do on the grounds and plenty of wonderful things to do in the surrounding area. Jess was very professional, friendly and extremely helpful when needing recommendations for places to eat and things to do. A great stay!

− Quite difficult to see the turn off to the property at night.

Nostalgic Family Retreat

10.0

Returning here after 40yrs with my own family was incredibly special. I have some of my happiest childhood memories at Federation Gardens, and it was wonderful to share with my children the same sense of fun, adventure and happiness that I remember. The place still has all the charm and magic :-) The only thing I was a little sad to see was that the old log fire has been replaced with a gas fire—the crackling fire was such a special part of my childhood memories. Thank you for another memorable stay. It was a nostalgic, full-circle experience that our family will treasure - and will do again!! A new tradition in train :-)

− Gas fire vs log fire
