Excellent facilities and all the little extras available
Nothing was a bother for the owners and we were accommodated superbly.
Plenty of room for all - the extra living areas were well used for the varied ages!
Plenty of bathrooms too!
Very private, peaceful and spacious!
The property was absolutely perfect for our special day. The owners were fabulous to communicate with and just lovely to deal with. Would highly recommend this property.
Our family holiday was enhanced by this property. Its arrangement of spaces, both indoors and out, provided us with the opportunities to really enjoy each others’ company. Very comfortable bedrooms, bathrooms and a great pool. Being pet friendly was also a big advantage, Thankyou Lucy and Graham.
This property is one of a kind for the location in Coffs Harbour! Lucy was lovely to communicate with and answered any questions promptly and was very accommodating to the specific needs of our group. I would recommend this place to anyone :)
This house has everything you could need. Very comfortable beds (best we've had at a holiday house). Lots of bathrooms. Well equipped and spacious kitchen. Four separate sitting areas. Great location. Amazingly, no mozzies. Three generations loved it.
We are a large family requiring a substantial property. The house had plenty of space for everyone and was very well - equipped. A few issues related to wear and tear given the property’s age but Graham and Lucy were always available to help.
There was plenty of room for three families with various living areas meaning everyone could enjoy their own space if needed. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious.
The driveway area was great for the kids to ride bikes amd scooters and we used the grass area for a game of cricket. Within close proximity to the house are various hazards for children including old rotting decks, unsecured fuels and equipment, elevated planks and unsecured storage of potentially dangerous goods. There was also a faulty pool gate latch which meant it didn’t close automatically and our 3 year old entered the pool area alone.
I would not recommend this property for young children until all of the dangers are removed.
We had a great stay - the perfect location for a birthday celebration. Great set-up for our party out around the pool area, and the ability to have a lovely morning dip in the pool and BBQ the next day was a bonus. Highly recommend!
The property is exceedingly our expectation with a lot of space for my big family. Surprise my wife on her birthday with this accommodation. Vanilla is a bonus. Will certainly be back again as my family is almost ready for another reunion at this property in the near future.
We had a wonderful week with our extended family here. The location is beautiful, being just a short drive to the CBD and beaches but private and with a gorgeous outlook surrounded by trees. There was plenty of space both in the house and outside for the kids to play, and it had all the amenities we needed. We all enjoyed the pool, and the donkey was such a highlight for the kids and helped make the stay truly memorable. We would love to come back one day.
Just spent a week a Fern ridge for a extended family holiday. The house is great, plenty of room for everyone to have their space. The setting is beautiful, so peaceful and quiet, yet so close to Coffs, and plenty of activities. Lucy and Graham were super hosts, easy to communicate with and nothing was a bother. Can definitely recommend this house, we are all keen to go back!
I would just like to say that the accomodation and the location of this property is absolutely magnificent , me and my family absolutely loved it the facilities and a bonus my Grand Children enjoyed they Donkey that was there.
So thankyou to Lucy & Graham , Cheers
We had a very good time at FernRidge
We were a group of friends and the property was very suitable for a number of couples .The house is well appointed and the management excellent .It is in a lovely setting , which enhances the holiday feel , and Vanilla the donkey visits at regular intervals .Thoroughly recommend !
Incredible experience - would rate higher if I could!!! r
This was such a wonderful experience - welcoming hosts, well maintained property with thoughtful details to ensure a wonderful family holiday. Stunning location with space to escape the world, while still being only 5 minutes from everything Coffs has to offer. And Vanilla was the icing on the cake!!!! Thank you so much - we will definitely be back as often as we can!!!
