The Floating Forest

很滿意的小屋，還會再來。西澳自駕，途徑丹麥，丹麥河挺不錯的，小鎮也還挺不錯的，冰淇淋挺好吃，可以在超市買了東西回來做飯吃。

(**4.5 Stars**) A wonderful find in a wonderful part of Western Australia. The Floating Forest is evocative of something out of a storybook: the cottages sit on beautiful grounds full of birds, kangaroos and flowers. During the day, the views are lovely, and at night, the open canopy allows for some of the best stargazing I've ever experienced. Inside, the cabins are charming and befitting for the scenery where they are. Well considered and well equipped. Great kitchen, plush bed, smart tv, and a gorgeous bathroom with lovely toiletries. We appreciated the stocked coffee, which we enjoyed each morning on our patio, and the welcome wine and local provisions. We also appreciated the helpful directions and notification that we could arrive early... the directions were helpful because, while we didn't take advantage of the early check-in, we did arrive after dark, and the extra care there was considerate. What didn't make this a full-five stars, on the other hand, was the checkout. Having been on the road for three weeks, which involved city, rainforest, liveaboard dive boats, and a wedding in Perth, and being near the tail-end of our trip, we needed a bit more time to get ourselves sorted. We were packing up our car at 10:am (checkout time), making a few trips back and forth inside. I received a text at 10:09 reminding me of the checkout time, and at 10:15, as we were closing up the car, someone drove by and asked if we were "out", because "it's 10:15, so..." This seemed a bit excessive, as the person saw us loading up, presumably when she sent the text, and proceeded to say something when we were clearly leaving. Having worked in hotels, I do see the need to turnover a room for the next guests, however, there are more graceful ways to approach this, and a 15 minute period is hardly an egregious overrun. The scolding (albeit soft) was strange, but would not discourage us from staying here again, or recommending it to others.

A truly amazing place to stay! Such a beautiful cabin with so many thoughtful and homely touches. Very clean, well equipped and is close to town! Wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Definitely will be returning in the near future and staying for longer too.
