Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun!

Apr 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A hidden oasis So close to Sydney yet a million miles from civilisation. Just sublime. The place was beautiful. The property was perfect for the kids to hike and explore. And the Shetland ponies and alpacas only sweetened the deal. We hate to leave but know that Little Forest will never leave us. ##### Joe V. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie G. Mar 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property We stayed at the Orchard cottage. The location was perfect for a relaxing weekend in the countryside. Close to small towns and major town centres. The beds were super comfy & all amenities in the cottage were as listed & in good condition. The grounds on the property are beautiful and we still had quite a lot of privacy. ##### Stephanie G.
