Accommodation was for a family wedding in Gembrook
Spacious house, quality bedding, ample parking, friendly feel. Our only comment would be the unattached toilet seat in powder room. Would happily recommend to friends and family.

Cosy cottage in great location
Overall the Cockatoo Rainforest Escape cottage was exactly as described and has everything you need for a cosy stay. The weather was particularly cold and wet and cottage heated up really well and we enjoyed the wood fire. It's an easy walk into Cockatoo and a great location to access Emerald, Puffing Billy etc. The only reason the star rating I give is lower is that we struggled with the beds – finding most of the mattresses rather firm, 'springy' and uncomfortable and hence not great sleep - although this didn't worry the kids. Perhaps we're spoilt with our mattresses at home?!
