AustraliaAmazing property with a spectacular rainforest in their backyard. Great facilities for children, friendly service, we will definitely be returning.
AustraliaWonderful place to stay with walking trails and gardens to explore.
AustraliaAmazingly beautiful location. It's a rustic stay in nature, so if that's what you're looking for this place is an unexpectedly great find. I got to eat lots of fresh blueberries from the garden, we used the outdoor bbq area and hiked into a little rainforest. Good access to Mount Field for some more hiking. Only recommendation is that you bring food you want to cook with you since open hours of the stores are restrictive in the country. Full kitchen provided.
CanadaBeautiful location and very well fitted out. very helpful owner.
AustraliaWe stayed 2 nights with our grandkids. They especially loved the kids' cafe, art hut, books to read, treasure hunt, balls to kick, yoga barn on the hill with a view to dance into. We all enjoyed the Provencal decor and the Van Gogh Summer landscape colours but most of all we enjoyed the organic vegie patch (yum berries and fresh eggs!) and the hike through (on property) native rain forest. We decided we didn't need to do any day trips, just enjoy the property. Such a treat! We are now planning a winter stay to enjoy the cosy fireplaces, maybe some snow and see what's ready in the vegie patch.
AustraliaGreat welcome from Grant, sharing loads of local tips. Stunning views from property, and walking trail right from the property into forest, along the spring and up to great views over the area. Platypus sighting just a few minutes from the property really the icing on the cake !
United KingdomSassafraas Springs is beautiful. It’s secluded location with breathtaking views and lovely walk through the woods where we saw an echidna! We used the yoga deck both mornings to do a kettlebell workout as the sun was rising. Grant was an amazing host - meeting us in the car park on our arrival and also looking after a bag of fridge food after we checked out. We departed wishing we had more time and certainly will be back!
AustraliaPeace and quiet and amazing views. Extras like tea and coffee and snacks on arrival. Lovely to be able to pick vegetables and collect eggs on sight.
