My husband and I stayed at the Whistle Shop for our 44th wedding anniversary and had the best time ever, so much more comfortable then 5 star hotels - from the first time we walked into the cottage there was a nice fire burning, red roses and everything looked so cosy and comfortable, that you relaxed straight away. I feel... More

Greeted by the friendliest host "George" and taken down to the most beautiful tree house, named "The Bower" (each tree house has a name) the whole stay was completely private. Had a top view onto the lake through the trees, the best thing to wake up to! Beautiful part of the world, with lovely touches like fresh muffins every morning... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the Whistle Stop self contained cottage with is totally secluded from the beautiful main reception and restaurant and tree houses. It was quaint and magical - we had our own wooden bridge, babbling brook, spa and bar-b-q in the rain forest. The kitchen was well stocked and the shower had wonderful hot water. The... More

Secrets on the lake in Montville is the perfect hideaway for couples who would like to enjoy some privacy. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and realized that we should have stayed much longer. This property is so well looked after, the accommodation is planned and crafted with love and attention to detail. We loved it!!

Beautiful place for couples to rest, relax and unwind. The cabins are elevated and are superbly fitted out and secluded. A wonderful little cafe with a great view for guests and visitors alike. Not recommended for children as the cabins are accessed by an elevated board walk and very little to do, ok for those with limited mobility as there... More

The Perfect Romantic Escape.....IMAGINE the ultimate romantic escape flowers, chocolates, and definitely some champagne and fruit.

There are ten tree houses Waterlilies, Two Frogs, Possums, The Bower, Lizards Lair Wait A While, Platypus, Dragonfly, The Nest & last but not least Secrets.
