9.0We had such a wonderful stay! We loved the privacy and the beautiful bush surroundings, which made it feel so peaceful and relaxing. Sitting in the spa under the stars was definitely a highlight. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the hosts were incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily stay again.
− The bed wasn’t the most comfortable and the pillows were a little flat
Guest review
10.0It was a last minute booking and I am so glad that I was able to book the Fantail Bush Chalet and the Hot Tub. It was a perfect overnight stay and the breakfast prepared by Heidi is just super! Shane and Heidi are very lovely and we highly recommend this place! I love the handmade "birthday card" from H and S with our breakfast basket and what completes our stay is meeting their very friendly cat!
A pleasant weekend getaway, perfect for people who want the peace and quiet of being off-grid
7.0Pretty much exactly as advertised and very pretty - nice little location and lovely tranquil bush setting. Very peaceful and private. The spa pool is a nice addition and having the local cat come and say hello was a real treat. Waking up to the sun coming through the trees and the birds chirping adds a fantastic tranquility to the place.
− There were a few small details that make a big difference to a stay like this, the main issue being problems with the hot water. The batteries that ignite the pilot flame were at the end of their life and as a huge part of the amenities these should really have been in good shape. Having to go outside to try and get the boiler going whenever we needed hot water wasn't too fun. On the subject of batteries, given there are no cooking/ignition sources allowed, the abundance of lights (battery operated candles etc) was great - except out of the 8 lights we found, only one worked/had batteries. A small thing but for our ten year wedding anniversary, a bit of ambience would have been nice. The mattress wasn't particularly comfortable as the limited space means people clearly favor sitting on one side of the bed, making for a lopsided sleep where the springs are too soft on one side.
A very cozy stay-in.
10.0The location was amazing, as was the vibe within the cabin itself.

Lovely getaway from the busy city.
9.0The spa was amazing! And the place in general is really nice. And they served as nice breakfast too.
− I wish there’s a toilet door. :)
Cosy and cute getaway spot!
10.0Breakfast was amazing, very cute setup and we ate it on the deck. We paid $50 to use the hot tub and it was worth it. Very cosy vibes and a nice way to unwind and relax in the evening. Heidi and Shane are lovely hosts and they have a beautiful property. The chalet is private and a great little getaway for anyone who needs to take a break or wants to spend time with a loved one in nature.
