The home itself is two story offering open plan living downstairs and two lofted bedrooms flanking the lofted ceiling above. Other features include a cosy wood fire, filtered ocean views, wrap around balcony and all the coastal character you expect from a cottage by the sea.

The cabin was beautiful although the pics are quite deceiving when it comes to the size. We had a wonderful stay and definitely ovrrpacked. The area was gorgeous. We needed to drive to the beach as it would be an extremely hard walk for those not in peak physical condition.

Rustic bushland retreat
A rustic cottage with large balcony to enjoy the bushland where we were joined by a local kookaburra and cockatoo. Small view to the water. Bottle of wine to greet us was appreciated. Main bed comfy. Sadly only stayed 1 night out of 3, due to earthworks construction right next door starting at 8am. Not the owner's fault but should advise anyone staying.

Very family friendly
We really enjoyed our stay at Fern Cottage. As a family with two little kids it was a perfect set up for us. Loads of toys, a cot and high chair and even a change mat (these things would not be a nuisance if you didn’t have kids as they were well located). The view from the living room was gorgeous and conveniently located to the pub and the cafe. the only negatives was that linen was not provided. We hired linen but there was a mix up with the sheets and we didn’t get enough (although the cleaner did offer to drive them down). It would be good to have some instructions on how to light the fire as we struggled being new to this. There was also no air conditioning although the fans were very powerful. Overall a highly enjoyable stay. We’ll come again.

Lovely spot
We had a lovely time at Fern Cottage. We found Wye River to be the perfect spot for a family beach holiday with a relaxed beach setting and a great kiosk and hotel for takeaway food, dine-in meals and general groceries.
The cottage itself is very much as advertised. It’s a comfortable place to stay and quite charming and cosy.
We experienced some inconvenience when our tank water ran out and we were without running water for over 24 hours. However, the property managers were LOVELY and worked super hard to get tank water trucked in as soon as possible.

We loved every second of our stay and strongly recommend for families and they’ve thought of everything!! The book shelf was as hit with our crew!! thank you so much for having us!!

Lovely location
Wye River is such a special spot, and this house is in a wonderful location. We really enjoyed our stay, doing lots of walks. The house is tidy, the beds very comfortable and it was toasty warm with the wood fire. The photos aren’t fully accurate as the place is quite small and there is little storage. The furnishings and linen are a little old, but that didn’t bother us. Providing a few small extras to make pausing guests feel a little more welcome would be a nice touch to round out a good stay. Thank you.

Bush haven by the sea
This cottage was perfect for our family. Ideally located within the bush, which made it peaceful and private, with views of the sea. Wye River walks are stunning and the sea was refreshing, but bring a wetsuit! Abundant wildlife too - echidnas, koalas, birds and reptiles. The house was very comfortable with everything we needed. Would love to come back one day.

Obsessed with the birds!
We loved every minute here. The property was really homely and well equipped with all we needed and more. The highlight was the numerous visits we had from local feathered friends: cockatoos, kookaburras, king parrots, wattle birds, currawongs all joining us on the balcony - wow!
Can't wait to return.

Great cottage to stay
We had a wonderful time at this very nice cottage in Wye River. The location was brilliant, the facilities were awesome, and we had to fight amongst each other to score the very comfortable day bed by the window. Great place, will be certainly booking it again.

A Cosy Weekend Retreat
We enjoyed our stay at Fern Cottage - loved the Day Bed in the lounge!
A cosy cottage with a great log fire, plenty of kitchen crockery and utensils. The beds were comfy and it was great to sit out on the deck looking through the beautiful trees towards the ocean. Thank you for letting us take our beloved dog to enjoy Wye River with us.
My only criticism would be that I would have liked a booklet about the cottage which may have saved me having a cold shower on arrival!

Family get away
Our family of 5 had a lovely stay at Fern Cottage. Gorgeous bush setting, very clean and well appointed home. The beds were really comfy, and we enjoyed eating on the deck with views down to the ocean. Short walk down to the beach, general store and the pub. Loved everything about the stay and would love to come back again.

Cosy cottage
We loved our short stay at Fern Cottage.
The upstairs rooms were extremely cosy.
The wood fire worked really well and there was plenty of wood supplied which was good because we struck a couple of cold, wet days.
It was only a short drive to the beach but very steep, so really couldn't be done with lots of gear like surfboards.
The Wye general store and pub are both fantastic and have all you need plus more, even in the off season.
The house had everything we needed. A bonus was the amazing array of bird life that came to visit on the deck.
The only tips I could add for the house was to remember to turn on the hot water service when you arrive (there is a note on the table about it) and maybe bring your own toaster because the one there is tiny and couldn't toast our thick bread or crumpets.
The house is on tank water and runs a pump , which didn't bother me as I'm live in a house that has the same arrangement. But there is a note about what to do if you have trouble with the pump.
Overall, this is a great place to stay with a small group.

Highly recommended !!
We can highly recommend Fern Cottage and were so glad we chose it for our 2 week holiday. The owners left us a note and bottle of wine which felt very welcoming. The home is well represented on the internet (exactly as it appears in the photos) and was in a great location- near the beach, but far enough away to feel quiet and private. There is a short hill to climb which kept us feeling fit after enjoying the gourmet treats at the excellent General Store. The view from the lounge and veranda is lovely- with the ocean glimmering through the trees and looking out over a fern gully with large trees bringing a sense of space and peace. The bird life is prolific and entertaining. Inside, the home is very comfortable with fully equipped kitchen (you could even bake a cake!) and with a good library of books and games provided. There is everything you need if you have young children (cot, change mat, high chair, toys and children's books). It was very clean, bright and fresh. We were reluctant to leave Fern Cottage, even after 2 weeks. Wye river is a great place for a beach and bush holiday.

Beautiful Experience
Our family came back to Melbourne so refreshed after a few days here. Gorgeous place with views of the ocean, surrounded by gum trees. We really appreciated the thought that went into making the house such a pleasure to stay at - lots of books for children and adults, games and even a toy chest. The kitchen had everything we needed and the whole place was so incredibly comfortable. We're planning a return visit to Wye River and we'll definitely choose to stay here again.

Fantastic Experience
My partner and I had an incredible couple of days here. Can't thank the hosts enough for making our first trip to Wye River so enjoyable. Beautiful cottage with everything we needed. A few minutes to the beach, pub and general store and a fantastic cosy fire at night. Even got to feed some rosellas off the balcony. Loved the upstairs bedrooms too - we felt like we were in a treehouse. Lots of thoughtful touches for children too, including a teepee! - we'll be bringing the kids next time. Thank you!

Incredible Weekend Away!
We cannot rate this beautiful cottage highly enough. The house was gorgeously prepared with lots of personal touches - including a bottle of wine on arrival! Photos just don't do it justice. The property was nestled among gumtrees with views of the ocean and only a few minutes walk to the beach. It's clearly been recently painted and refreshed and has the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. We'll be back ASAP. Loved it! Thank you!
