We stayed at the laughing ducks cottage in January. We received an extremely friendly (but not overbearing) reception and were very impressed by the accommodation itself. The spa was one of the standouts as you could open the bifold doors and have the forest at your feet whilst you lay in it. Definitely recommend Woodlands and we'll be back

My husband and I stayed for one night and we did not want to leave . It was such a beautiful experience. The cottages are extremely private and surrounded by tall trees.You are literally living in the middle of the forest. We took our own barbeque pack, beer and wine and were set for the night. The most exciting feature... More

This is the second time we have stayed at the Woodlands Retreat, both times it has lived up to its reputation of a romantic retreat. The cabins are beautifully placed within the bushland for total privacy. From the lay out of the fireplace, spa and general amenities this place is consistently comfortable. There are numerous places to visit locally if... More

My partner and I are big B&B fans. Been to a few stand-alone cottage B&B in Arthur's Seat, Dandenongs and Great Ocean Rd, but this has by far has the best spa i've been to. The bathroom with huge spa was grand in size, the heated tiles and shower were great, and to top it all off, the bathroom doors... More

It was nice but it wasn't amazing. We stayed in Whispering Wattles bungalow. Didn't look much like the images they use on the website... wasn't up high, no water around it etc. The bathroom is great - a double spa with windows all around looking out to the rainforest, heated floors etc. The rest of the cottage is very average...

If you are looking for somewhere to hide away from the world for a couple of days here it is. We arrived to a friendly reception from Jeff and when we drove down the bush track to our cottage, Whispering Wattles, we found a romantic 1 bedroom cottage with a spectacular spa full of bubbles and surrounded by lit candles...

We stayed at Woodlands in Nov 10. We loved everything about it - the privacy, the room, the BATH, the tranquility, the food was great, and the groundkeeper, Jeff, was really friendly. We ordered a BBQ hamper that included different types of meat, salmon, cheese and desserts. There was ample food, of great quality to cook on the BBQ provided.... More

Privacy is the name of the game at Woodlands. It's as if they've traveled all over and brought the most brilliant aspects of each place into the bungalow. From the heated tile floors in the bathroom to the gummy boots provided for a walk around the property, Woodlands knows its about the little things. Once we arrived at our bungalow,... More
