Tucked away in a leafy setting, yet only minutes from Emerald's many cafes, shops and attractions, Ferny Hill Retreat is perfect for families, couples, creatives, writers and artists. UNWIND: Watch a movie snuggled up on the living room sofa, or laze in the deep soaking tub before slipping into your cloud-soft bed. Artistically decorated throughout, Ferny Hill Retreat offers FREE WIFI, Netflix and breakfast provisions, along with a fully equipped kitchen. Your private patio sits alongside a lush fernery. Yep, tinkling waterfall and all! EXPLORE: Warm yourself by the garden fire pit, or be swept away to an enchanted land - our Fairy Village is as much a hit with grownups as it is with the kids. Wander the garden paths to take in the quirky statuary or just grab a seat and feed the birds. You may even spot Eddie, our resident echidna wandering around. EXPERIENCE: The artistry and magic of Ferny Hill Retreat are hidden behind a bright green gate in Emerald. Less than an hour from Melbourne and only 5 minutes to Puffing Billy, this whimsical holiday rental can be yours for a weekend, a week or longer...
Hi, I’m Carmel and I love having guests stay at Ferny Hill Retreat. Sharing the beauty of Emerald and the Dandenong Ranges is a genuine pleasure. Born and raised in Melbourne, I caught the travel bug after completing university and have done a fair bit of globe-trotting since. I'm into all sorts of things: gardening, reading, meditation, interior design, nature, writing, country drives, travel, art galleries, social media, movies, geeky stuff, dining out, friends, family and making a mess in my art studio. So that's a snapshot of yours truly. It would be lovely to have you stay at Ferny Hill Retreat. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
Emerald is such a beautiful place it's known as 'the gem of the hills'. It's a stunning little village in the Dandenong Ranges, brimming with country charm and hospitality. Emerald Lake Park is a premiere attraction with BBQs, playgrounds, a pool, paddle boats, walking tracks, fishing, Environment Centre, model railway, café and a railway station for Puffing Billy. The famous Puffing Billy passes through the township and has three stations in Emerald—Emerald, Nobelius and Lakeside (in the park). The Emerald to Cockatoo recreational trail is ideal for walkers and cyclists. The trail is a comfortable 2.5hr walk that wanders through natural forest settings. Closer to home, you can take a 10-minute stroll from Ferny Hill Retreat to a little known lake where you can feed the ever-hungry ducks.
