Funky, art-inspired holiday apartment | Emerald, Vic

Tucked away in a leafy setting, Ferny Hill Retreat is only minutes from Emerald's many cafes, shops and attractions. Artistically decorated throughout and designed with privacy in mind, this spotless apartment has all you need for a fabulous stay in the Dandenong Ranges.

UNWIND
Watch a movie snuggled up on the living room sofa, or laze in the deep soaking tub before slipping into your cloud-soft bed. Ferny Hill Retreat caters for a variety of guests with free WIFI, Netflix, a mini office and a fully equipped kitchen. Yummy breakfast supplies are included. Your private patio, with seating for four, sits beside a lush fernery.

EXPLORE
Warm yourself by the garden fire pit, or be swept away to an enchanted land - our Fairy Village is as much a hit with grownups as it is with the kids. Wander the garden paths to take in the quirky statuary or, if that sounds like too much work, just grab a seat and feed the birds. You may even spot Eddie, our resident echidna wandering around.

EXPERIENCE
The artistry and enchantment of Ferny Hill Retreat are hidden behind a bright green gate in Emerald. Less than an hour from Melbourne and only 5 minutes to Puffing Billy, this whimsical holiday apartment can be yours for a weekend, a week or longer...

Ferny Hill Retreat - a truly magical getaway in the Dandenong Ranges!
