Good to know you enjoyed your stay Marny. It was disappointing the weather was not the best for mountain biking but hopefully you still got to try out the tracks! Thanks for leaving the Blue Wren clean and tidy😊

Thanks Mick and Lyndel. It's great to know visitors to Forrest enjoy our small town as much as we do. Even though the weather was VERY hot I was pleased to hear you braved the elements and hired mountain bikes to check out the first class bike trails around Forrest ! Did you get to the Platypi Chocolate café?

First night as a married couple.

We were VERY tired so collapsed into bed. Had lovely sleep and woke to delightful scenery across the valley. Very pleasant indeed.

Everything we needed

We were going on a dawn Eco Tour - Paddling with Platypus, so wanted to stay in Forrest. The Blue Wren was perfect. I wish we could have stayed longer. Beautiful setting. The host left the key for us, as we were coming in late. Everything worked perfectly. We were able to meet and visit in the morning. Highly recommend.

Very comfortable

Service was excellent and due to unforeseen circumstances didn't end up staying the night but the space had everything you could need. Would love to come back one weekend in winter as the views are amazing and would definitely be comfortable during the stay.

Nice unit with outstanding views.

Very nice clean unit in a rural setting with outstanding views. The only think lacking was a motion sensor light on the pathway to the unit. We dined in town in the evening and returned back to the unit on a moonless pitch black night and had to grope our way to the door, negotiating a number of potential trip hazards.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 April 2020
Glad you enjoyed your short stay in the Blue Wren Ron. I am sorry you found the pathway to the studio a little challenging. There is a light switch in the room that lights up the path at night. also there is a sensor light in the carport. I will take your comments on board and remind guests to turn on the light when they plan to return late at night

Great to know you and Neil enjoyed your short stay in our Blue Wren Studio, Chris. Pity we have no control over the weather conditions.....not the best weather for the Platypus Tour!

Perfect accommodation for our weekend activity.

Charming studio, with a fantastic bed, and lovely views over the rolling fields of Forrest. Carol was lovely and welcoming, explaining all the details of the accommodation. A few minutes drive in to the town for an excellent meal at the Brewery should also be on your list of things to do. Bed was super comfortable, and big, and the provided snacks and bottled water very welcome. This is certainly on our list to return to for a weekend escape.
