A
perfect marriage of the 18th Century and the 21st
Century - very impressed with the facilities - all the comforts of home
in a beautiful bush setting.

A
picture perfect setting for a quaint little cottage. It reminded me a
lot of my childhood - combustion stove, wood chopping, outside dunny,
water tanks, few 'mod cons' but lots of birds and other wildlife... I
found myself reflecting upon those tranquil contented days on the verandah.
The lesson learnt: you can get it back!

What
a marvelous experience of how we all could choose to live honouring the
Earth. Time seems to progress at a mellow natural rate here... so inspiring.
Jen, Jarrod, Charlotte and Felix, Blairgowrie
It
was absolutely wonderful to be cozy warm inside with the rain pattering
on the roof surrounded by the wilderness for the first cold snap of winter.
The walk you sent us on was eye opening and incredible. The track was
covered in snow and animal footprints. It broke my heart to think it is
planned for logging.
Rachel, Melbourne.
Thanks
for your vision, passion and generosity. It's wonderful to return to the
'path not taken' and be inspired by your example to do it again, to "walk
lightly" on the Earth - to "go into the woods and live deliberately"
(Thoreau). We have never felt so relaxed so easily.
Robyn
and Morgan, Gembrook.
Our
walk through the forest of huge trees was absolutely amazing. Something
I will never forget.
Darren, Queensland.
Another
world in every sense.
Kathy, Sydney.
Wonderful
"neigh"bours and we had a great time sliding down the rocks
in the "spa-pools".
Juliet and John.
Loved
the forests, the bellbirds, the quiet, the stars and the country air.
Rick, Melbourne.
All
round splendid experience even the midnight toilet visit with 7 yo daughter
was magic; the din of the froggy folk and four moonlit pretty horses just
outside the high altitude thunder box. The foal stood childlike watching
the toilet ritual and was good for a nuzzle and blast of warm air afterwards.
Priceless stuff.
Rosemary and Co, Ainsley.
Night
black. Stars bright. Stove warm. Water hot. Bed soft. Morning misty moisty.
Hill to the lookout steep. Jacarri - a reminder that life could be lived
more simply.
Judith, Warragul.
Writing this
from a sun drenched verandah in a t.shirt. So this is where the Melbourne
sun hides in Winter! The view upon waking this morning looked like a projection
on an invisible Hollywood screen to this city girl. Jacarri and all its
resident beings should be listed on the medical benefits scheme - frog
therapy, wren therapy, dew-on-spider-web therapy, chook ballet therapy
and especially view-of-wattle-blossom-behind- manna-gum therapy. Thanks
for creating this place. It"s perfect.

And
I thought I lived in the "middle of no-where" in Kentucky. Thanks
for introducing me to chopping my own wood.
Pam, Kentucky USA.
...
a AAAA cottage - just right for this beautiful place.
Rod, Clayton.
A
free, gentle spirit pervades this lovely hide-away.
Virginia, Alec and Julie, Canberra.
...
appreciated all the rustic pieces ... creative and cohesive themes. The
rainforest walk is a must - regardless of the government slant.
Geoff and Lee, Research.
A
day of talk, a night of silence, and morning of bird song. A wonderful
kip and shower a Jacarri.
Bill, Melbourne.
...
it is beautiful in sunshine and in rain. The "loo with a view"
must rank as the best of it's kind anywhere. Amazing variety of wildflowers
along Ellery Creek Track. When will the "powers that be" come
here and see for themselves that these forests are priceless and must
be protected for all timeŠ
The Gambol family, Doncaster.
This
is a little piece of heaven.
Lynette and Frans.
Fabulous
place - but far more interesting is the fabulous person. I have never
seen anyone with your abilities or dedication. All this without a whinge
but instead a delighted smile. My two boys will leave here with impressions
that will mould their life for the better.
Suresh, Bacchus Marsh.
The
fresh goats milk was a revelation! Thank you.
Nick and Leanne, West Melbourne.
A
beautiful cottage full of loving attention to both practicalities and
aesthetics. Quite inspirationalŠ appreciate this haven in the forest.
Keep up the great conscious work Jill. May YOU be the destination for
weary souls and the cottage an extension of you.
Gustar and Liz, Melbourne.
Still
and beautiful days for sitting out on the verandah.
Anita, Christmas Hills
This
is a beautiful spot done with heart and style.
John and Rodney, Jumping Mouse.
...
warm, comforting and inviting.
Irene and Michael, Melbourne.
Thanks
for giving us continued possibilities towards life!

The
forests within the Park were magnificent, the solitude of walks with only
wildlife and rainforest was uplifting, the crystal clear rivers and streams
a real delight. Let's hope the last old growth forests are added to the
Park to preserve a time that once was.
Kris.
Wondrous
environment, charming hospitality.
Marilyn, Canberra.
...
delighted in the peace and quiet and home comforts. Bird life is unique.
Maureen and Peter, Toronto NSW.
A
wonderful experience for us city folk. This is certainly "heaven
on a stick"!
Polly, Perry, Laura and Luke. Melbourne.
