Description from owner
Description
The hideaway of your dreams nestled high up on the edge of an ancient rainforest. With only two cottages this secluded retreat offers peace and privacy, helping you to escape the stresses of everyday life whilst admiring the beauty of a rainforest teaming with wildlife. Whether its a romantic getaway or a relaxing break with friends and family, Red Dog Retreat is the place for you. We also welcome your dogs.Only a 15 minute drive to both Kangaroo Valley and Berry, where you will find great shops, cafes and restaurants. Another 10 minutes will take you to Seven Mile Beach.You can snuggle up in front of the wood burning stove or have a barbeque on the verandah while keeping an eye out for the local wombats, wallabies and birdlife. After that take time out to soak up the atmosphere in our spa baths or have a massage from a therapist that will visit the cottage, before hitting the sack to recharge the batteries and awaken to the sound of native birdsong, welcoming in the next day. Both cottages have two bedrooms and are designed with a rustic feel to blend in with the tranquil rainforest setting. To compliment this each is furnished with an array of eclectic furniture providing all the creature comforts of home. The main bedrooms have ceiling fans and French doors opening up onto the verandah to catch the cool summer breezes. Whilst during the winter months you can enjoy the warmth of the wood burning stove in the cozy living room. With mountains and beaches virtually at your front door there is an endless list of activities to entertain you during your stay. All this can be yours in just over 2 hours drive from both Sydney or Canberra so why not book your next escape today! Please indicate if you want linen to be supplied for $50 when making a booking and also indicate if you are bringing a dog.

Response from the owner I'm sorry that I missed you posting this review. It's always very sad when we don't meet peoples expectations. However, we do market Red Dog as being a rustic experience. I am a little concerned that you didn't see the rustic nature of the building regarding steps, shower over bath etc. The beds are photographed realistically for you to see the size - we would replace with larger beds if the room size would allow. The forest we live in is as nature intended and it is possible to walk in it. However, we can't advise people to do so for the sake of safety reasons. It's impossible to ensure there are no fallen/falling trees, there are hidden dams, endangered wildlife and no easy to walk tracks. The nature of the forest ensures a haven for much of our wild animals. I apologise for the front door sticking. Unfortunately wood expands and contracts with the weather. The chipped mug was an oversight and most unfortunate, as was the lack of hand towel. However, both could have been remedied had you let me know on arrival. It is unusual, as you probably saw, for us to get less than good reviews and I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations.
