Thank you Simon and Michelle for your generosity and sharing your beautiful home with us. Everything was breath-taking about the house and location. The decor made it feel like we were overseas. It was so kind of you to provide the things in your fridge and pantry for us. You truly have a wonderful home and an amazing 'rainforest retreat' backyard, we feel lucky to have experienced it for a whole week!

Beautiful home , relaxing and very comfortable. Peaceful setting . Close to beaches . Avoca lagoon great for kids . Great hosts , going out of their way to supply some basic groceries on arrival in the fridge was really helpful. Would definitely recommend this property, very relaxing and beautiful

We stayed in this home for 2 days and 3nights and to say it lived up to our expectations is an understatement. The house has a wow factory as you first enter and make your way out the back to the pool with the amazing backdrop of the rain forest. Upstairs has the perfect area to chilnout and at times we were unsure if we were in Australia or Bali. We would recommend this place to anyone and we would definitely stay again.

Spacious, very clean and comfortable bedrooms with the upper level parent's retreat a highlight. The saltwater pool was fantastic! The backyard vista felt like Ubud or S/E Asia. Although this is someone else's family home, we felt at ease, as if it were our home. A few minutes drive away is Nth Avoca beach, Erina Fair, and Terrigal. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Simon and Michelle.

Great stay...loved every moment!!!

An amazing property. Beautiful and very relaxing. We stayed at the Rainforest Retreat with another family of 3, in total 7 people. Our Hosts- Simon and Michelle were terrific. A well stocked kitchen. A fridge with Peroni and wine, along with bread , milk and coffee, very much appreciated. The pool was a treat for our Boys and we all enjoyed the outdoor ambience of the deck and bbq. Thank You Simon and Michelle, we are still raving about your gorgeous house and 5 star hospitality.

A beautiful, light, clean, airy and well appointed property with everything that you could possibly need for a short or long stay. We stayed for a week in January with a toddler. The beach is a short drive away and the pool has a deck to chill out on. There is also a balcony with a bbq which is great for entertaining or having a relaxing meal. The parents retreat upstairs is very peaceful and private and the bathroom has a wonderful bath to relax in. There is a green grocer a short drive away or the nearest shopping centre (about 15 mins away) to stock up. Our hosts generously stocked up the fridge with items other hosts would not think to include for example milk, bread, eggs, butter, garlic, OJ, beer and wine and generously made available in the pantry spices, olive oil and other items which save guests from having to endure the tiresome task of trying to recreate their kitchens and instead allows them to get busy with the task of hitting the beach and starting their holiday! Thank you Simon and Michelle!

We had a wonderful, very warm week at this property with two parents, two teenagers and elderly mother-in-law. The house is very clean, comfortably furnished and has a very zen vibe. Aircon and pool made the hot weather easy to handle. Lots of handy supplies in the fridge and pantry. We all loved finding different comfortable spots to relax in - lounge or hammock by the pool, in the egg chair in the front garden or upstairs on the day bed. Amazing parents retreat upstairs (the whole floor) with a spacious modern lounge, luxurious bathroom and comfy king size bed. Beach not easily walkable but a very quick drive away. Massage or other pampering is easy to find in North Avoca, and a great cafe too. My mother-in-law accidentally left a scarf at the property and Simon very graciously put it in the mail back to us. A great property and highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and stay at Rainforest Retreat. The kids loved the pool and the free wifi was definitely a hit. Would definitely recommend this property for a relaxing holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay and the house is fantastic and we all enjoyed the pool. Local shops, cafes and beaches are all close to hand. The owners were friendly and helpful so highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time, the house had everything we needed (and more...) and the pool was great! Having meals on the balcony was peaceful, listening to the birds and just simply chilling out. Our teenagers appreciated the free wifi and we were close to everywhere we wanted to be. Thanks again Simon and Michelle!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful, very well equipped and the pool was fabulous.
