Quiet country getaway
A tranquil and gorgeous property, tree lined with lots of bird life. It is petite in size, particularly the kitchen with a bar fridge and 2 burner hot plate. Bring easy meals and enjoy with the home made bread from Gerry who even delivered a cake in the rain. It was a lovely place to relax for a couple nights, with exquisite linen on the beds. Highly recommend the tour at nearby Wooden Boat Building Centre. It was a highlight.

What a treat! Maple Hill Cottage at Castle Forbes Bay is a beautifully presented country cottage with a touch of yesteryear nostalgia, tucked away in a gorgeous setting of apple orchards and native bush, with great views. The hosts complimented our stay with many thoughtful touches, such as freshly cut garden flowers for the table and a homemade loaf for breakfast. Thank you so much!

Peaceful serenity
The night away was about respite and change of scenery and that is exactly what we got at this beautiful cottage accommodation. It was so very clean, well equipped, welcoming and tranquil. The outlook, the gardens, the birds and of course the friendly cows who came to welcome us at the fence. I would absolutely visit again and plan to very soon.

Idyllic Country Cottage
We arrived at this well equiped cottage to find a bowl of fresh fruit, chocolates and home made sourdough bread, it doesn't get any better than that. The distance from any main road made it a tranquil place to rest after busy days sight seeing and the owners were lovely. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for beautiful views and a tranquil setting while still being in the heart of the Huon Valley and all it has to see.
