Jan 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### A peaceful environment with great facilities Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and plenty of outdoor seating. Superb range of cooking vessels, plates etc. We would recommend having more chairs or couches in the living room... what was there were not particularly comfortable and seating was not sufficient for our group. ##### Dianne B. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul E. Sep 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Native bush splendor A restorative and relaxing few days in this beautifully restored character home. We loved having our fur baby with us and the house is well set up for that. The native bush-lined driveway is magical, and we loved walking around the property's gorgeous grounds to the sounds of birds singing. Paradise. ##### Paul E.

Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate P. Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Forest House is warm, comfortable, spacious and attractively furnished. It is in a private and quiet setting close to Lake Ferry and Martinborough. The cleaning fee was on the high side for just 2 people, but it was very clean and well maintained and there was no problem keeping warm in winter with the fire and Air conditioning. Great communication, enjoyed our time at Forest House. Only thing we missed was a normal sized oven tray and a normal sized cheese grater! Other than that, perfect. ##### Kate P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miimetua D. Nov 30, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Holiday The house was beautiful the lawns could have been mowed. We couldn’t fine the BBQ and wish we had the internet couldn’t fine the hair dryer but apart from those things was a lovely stay we would recommend to family and friends thank you for having us. ##### Miimetua D.
