We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas week at Duffys Forest. The house was excellent for our extended family group and most importantly for Christmas the kitchen had everything we needed. Such a lovely place, great pool, deck and spa, fabulous views and lovely walks. We really enjoyed the goats, ducks and chickens. Thank you so much Monique
Easily the best property I’ve ever stayed at. The check in was effortless and we got a great tour by the owner. Lots of things to do around the area. Will be back!
The property with its tennis court, billiard table and pool had lots to keep everyone busy.The fact we could bring our 2 dogs up was a bonus. Plenty of bathrooms and beds for 16 of us.
We were celebrating a family milestone with three generations. This place had plenty to do for all ages, swimming pool tennis, farm animals & great view too!
We all had a wonderful time enjoying the many features of the property. Great times around the pool, tennis court and the billiards table. Huge place with many bedrooms and bathrooms to cater for our large extended family. Beautiful outlook and views high up over the valleys and bush. Even saw the Sydney fireworks in the distance. Highly recommended. 5 stars.
We recently had the pleasure of spending our Christmas holiday at a truly enchanting property. Tucked away in a picturesque countryside setting, this holiday retreat offered the perfect blend of luxury amenities, charming details, and the warmth of farm life that made our festive season truly magical.
One of the highlights was the mesmerizing pool, the sparkling water and scenic views created a serene atmosphere, providing the ideal backdrop for relaxation and bonding. The well-maintained tennis courts added a competitive yet enjoyable touch to our festivities. Another unique feature of this property was its subtle connection to nature through a handful of friendly farm animals.
The accommodation itself was nothing short of spectacular. The property boasted spacious, elegantly decorated rooms that exuded both comfort and style. The well-equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare festive meals, and the dining area was large enough to accommodate our entire group for a memorable feast.
The property's attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the tasteful decorations to the thoughtful amenities provided. The owners had clearly put a lot of thought into creating a space that felt like a home away from home, ensuring that our holiday was as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
If you're looking for a holiday retreat that offers a perfect balance of relaxation, recreation, and rustic charm, look no further—this property is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
