“A perfect, relaxing getaway for couples, especially nature lovers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2009

What a great place this is. In one of the best parts of Australia - the beautiful South Coast of NSW. This place is close to Batemans Bay, but the accommodation itself is so quiet and private - quite a combination. We stayed in one of the premium bowers.
The bower itself is wonderful. Everything has been designed with romance and relaxation for 2 in mind. Each bower is almost in total isolation, each is surrounded by trees. All you can see of the other occupants is some lights at night
The bathroom - there is the great spa with room enough for 2, with a big window to outside (don't worry, there's nobody around to see you!). There are even speakers in here, so you can play some music while you relax. There is also a double shower. Bathrobes and slippers are supplied!
The living room is mainly glass, so that you can always see outside. There was a plasma TV mounted on the wall so we could watch some DVDs. The TV is on a bracket and you can swing it around to either watch from the lounge, or in bed - perfect! Right in the middle of the room is an enclosed fireplace to provide both warmth and romance.
The kitchen has everything you need to cook up meals - fan forced oven, cooktop, microwave & all the pans crockery, utensils etc you should need. A great selection of breakfast foods is provided to you - bacon/eggs, croissants, cereal etc & great selection of tea and coffee.
In the bedroom is a very comfy kingsize bed.
Outside there is a great balcony, with 2 comfy sunloungers, table & chairs, and a BBQ. My *only* complaint about the place is that the BBQ isn't great, it's basically just a large hotplate, there's no grill or hood etc. Fine for cooking steak/sausages etc - just don't expect to get too gourmet.
The best part for me though was the bird feeder outside near the balcony. It attracted all sorts of great birds. There was an almost constant presence of Crimson Rosellas & a very cheeky but cute magpie. We also had rainbow lorikeets, a galah, gorgeous King Parrots & Kookaburras. If you like birds, this is an awesome place.

There's also plenty of things to do around the area - if you can wrench yourself away from your bower! Nearby Mogo Zoo is very good, and all around the area are great beaches, restaurants and more.

Overall, this is a wonderful, self contained accommodation. I would definately recommend this place to anyone.

“Magic place!”

We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. The facilities were excellent and the cottage felt like we were alone in "the bush", because there is so much privacy. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was adequately equipped. They even provided bird food so that we could watch the crimson rosellas feeding. We went for some walks around the property and around Broulee Island. The owners were very helpful and keen to help us enjoy our stay. I would not heistate to recommend this to a couple wanting a relaxing interlude close to nature.

“Highlight of the trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2009

My partner & I spent 5 weeks travelling around Australia and both agreed that this was far & away the best of the places we stayed in. We went there to see the area but actually didn't want to leave the accommodation each day!! It was just such a beautiful setting, so peaceful and private. Mark & Sue were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast supplies they had left in the Bower were more than generous - thought we'd eaten it all and then found even more. Can't recommend it highly enough, this is the sort of place you would plan to come back to and spend longer next time.
