This is a beautiful place to stay, right in the national park!
Kim was a great host, friendly, informative and had the right amount of interaction with us as guests!
The cabin is so comfortable and stylish, when it says it’s remote believe the listing. It takes at least 15 to go in and out but on the road we saw wallabies, kangaroos, kookaburras and an echidna!!
There’s a trail to walk behind the property which we walked (hard work with a toddler!) and somewhere to sit outside and relax. Kim also provides toys, games, books and dvds/tv to keep you entertained as there is no phone service or internet!
The beds are comfy and it’s cosy when you’re inside and it’s raining, there’s plenty of privacy as Kim leaves you pretty much alone, the only thing I’d say is there is only one private bedroom (2 single beds) so the double looks into the living room in an open space. This is fine for families but if you’re going with friends you’d have to choose who slept in the main living space. This wasn’t a problem for us though.
The town of Gembrook is cute, it has some nice restaurants and a couple of coffee shops plus a great playground. You’re also close to Kurth Kiln National park which was great for walking and playing by the creek and Emerald lake for Puffing Billy.
I’d say if you’re nervous of being near insects and forests and don’t like having access to your email this isn’t the place for you but we loved the chance to be in nature, relax, read our books and let our little one explore and let their imagination go wild!
