Such a beautiful location. Really lovely well maintained gardens and residences. My dad and I stayed in the Windmill Lodge, it was modern but with character, clean and well kept with all amenities. The owner was lovely and completely accommodating. And a really great price for such a lovely location and facilities.

Beautiful lodge and scenery

We had a very relaxing stay the day prior to our wedding in Mount Dandenong, and we enjoyed the spa and fireplace. There was plenty of space for the entire family and the rooms were clean and well equipped. Ample breakfast provisions (including bacon, eggs, milk and bread) were provided. It is a beautiful retreat surrounded by trees and ferns.

Beautiful forest retreat

We spent the weekend here and found the accommodation very much to our liking.
close to the tourist areas and restaurants.
Owner went out of her way to assist us and let us do some laundry.
The spa was great at night with a few wines.
The setting with the tress and ferns is a refreshing break from the city
The Cats and the birds are part of this .

Great forest retreat to get away from the city

Enjoyed our time at Fernglen with adult family of 9. We booked the lodge which had two well equipped kitchens.

There was plenty of space to relax and  each couple had their own bedrooms and comfortable beds, very clean accomodation.

Enjoyed the fireplace and spa. And the
Relaxed country feel amongst nature.

Host was easy to deal with - thanks for having us all!

Family gathering for wedding

The place is so wonderful . A lot of huge trees around the log home style, with lot of parrots.  Providing a lot of spaces and bedrooms. Good for family and companies.  Clean and comfy . 3 nights there just fulfill my relaxation. Love it😍.

Amazing nature all around you😊

Fernglen is an amazing place to experience the beautiful forest and peace of the bush. The house is well appointed with lovely fire places with back up heaters. We were here and it snowed. The house warm and cosy.  Beds were amazing...warm and had the best 2 nights sleep. The spa was such a treat and a great place to chat even if it was only 1 or 2 degrees outside. Alix was an amazing host. Meeting us at the gate and helping us down the lovely drive way. Impossible to do if you do not know what to expect in the dark. She filled the fridge with eggs, bacon, tomato, mushroom, bread, orange juice and fresh fruit, milk, bread and raisin loaf. Bring your own coffee and tea. A truely unique experience. The majestic forest is stunning. It was lovely to slow down and relax. We enjoyed our stay here and hope to return. Thank you Alix for having us.

My 60th Bday with family

We decided to runaway into the mountains and elope. We found this amazing retreat and spent the weekend relaxing while our children spent time exploring this hidden gem. Not only did we marry but we got to spend our time completing unwinding and falling into pure bliss.   

Alix was very welcoming and was excellent to communicate with.  Overall 10/10 to the Fernglen Retreat. It was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back. 

Thanks again Alix 🙂

Eloping at Fernglen Forest Retreat 🥰

We ( family of 3 ) stayed in 'The Cottage'  as we were attending a wedding and also looking to get away from it all. Fernglen Forest Retreat was a beautiful and calming experience and the answer.

The Manager Alix, met and greeted us on arrival. Gave us a good show around before leaving us to enjoy the sheer tranquility of this secluded place in Mt Dandenong.

Nice sized bed and living rooms, spacious sit-outs, well appointed bathroom. Private car park. Breakfast provisions were extremely generous..Home away from home - ultra clean with everything we needed for a 2 night stay.

If you are looking for a quiet holiday and rejuvenating then look no further. We will certainly be back.

Best wishes,
Godfrey Vas and family

Far from the madding crowd

Our group of 9 adults and 2 kids really enjoyed our two-night stay in the Grand Lodge. Clean, nicely furnished, well equipped kitchen, even toys for the kids. Bedrooms were all comfortable except for the one with the bunk bed (sagging mattress). Lovely to see birds feeding on the veranda. We made good use of the outdoor spa and BBQ. Very tranquil and beautiful surroundings and a short drive to many places to explore like Sassafras and Sherbrooke Forest. Our host, Alix, was friendly and welcoming. Late check out was a nice bonus.

Great weekend getaway

We book the cottage , single room. Cosy with fireplace. But no wifi - too bad. The fireplace is great for cold forest in winter. 
Our group , total of 3 families they had a 5 bed room lodge - excellent ! Newer n more well maintained then our cottage. Also had wifi. 
Lovely to stay in this woody forest full of tall fern trees. Feel like living in the Jurassic park !
