GUEST COMMENTS

Hi Annette and Jeff,
Thanks again for another great weekend at Woodbyne. Everyone had a great time. The four new couples really loved Woodbyne.
As always, the rooms, the attention to detail and, of course, the food was superb. You both do a fantastic job. We look forward to next year.
Kind Regards,
Lori

Thank you very much for a most enjoyable weekend yet again. Woodbyne is just a spectacular place to stay whether it is for a couple or a large group. It is the perfect set-up for a large group like ours. We thank you for the patience and understanding that would be required for a large (and sometimes messy) group. I certainly hope you will have us back next year as we would not think of having our golf weekend anywhere else. The food, as always, was superb and your staff most helpful.
We look forward to seeing you all next year.
Kind regards,
Lori Feely and Penny Knight

Thank you for taking the trouble and expense of sending our belongings on - it was kind of you and a testament to the standard of service you offer your guests - even the absent minded ones!
We very much enjoyed our stay.
Thanks again

Harry and I had a wonderful relaxing stay at Woodbyne last weekend. The room with its lovely outlook was very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious! Your dinner suggestions were helpful. We have eaten very well this weekend!
Thanks so much.

The time has passed so quickly since our weekend at Woodbyne . Thanks so much for your hospitality.  Phill and I had such a wonderful time, as did all our guests. They have all continued to tell us what a very special time they had. By the way we need a new bed . Would you mind letting us know what bed we slept on. It was soooo comfortable! The choice in beds these days is mind boggling. Odd request I know, but it would really be helpful. Once again thanks. It was the best 50th birthday celebration I could have wished for.
best regards,
Sue Lasker and Phillip Lasker

We wanted to thank you for an exceptional weekend at Woodbyne.  We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and could not have picked a better and more beautiful place to hold our annual golf weekend. The rooms at Woodbyne are lovely, as is the atmosphere, and your attention to every detail is amazing.  As for the food, only one word comes to mind, 'superb'.  Your chef(s) did a stunning job as did your staff.
We also want to say thanks for your patience and understanding with such a large (and messy at times) group and for being such hospitable hosts.We look forward to seeing you all next year.
Warmest regards,
Lori Feely and Penny Knight

We had a fabulous wedding day, thank you so much for all your help, it ran really smoothly and everyone had a great time.
Thanks once again.

Just a small note to say how much we enjoyed our stay at your hotel. Your rooms are lovely, clean, warm and very comfortable. The bed was wonderful! The breakfast was just the best and the setting is very charming.
Probably the nicest stay we have ever had, including, nice hotels in Sydney.
We are in business so do not get away very much, but will certainly try and make it back to Woodbyne in the very near future.
Thank you again for your personal, friendly service.
Also the dogs are lovely.
Kind regards,
Robert & Ursula Henry

Paul and I just wanted to send you both a note of sincere thanks for all your patience and help with the organising and smooth running of our wedding.
Your hospitality was first class and your understanding of our circumstances was very touching and appreciated.
We had a fantastic weekend and wonderful day … the atmosphere of Woodbyne and the professionalism of both of you and your staff will be remembered by us always.
We received our wedding photos last week and we couldn’t be happier with images capturing the day, Woodbyne’s gardens and the school house atmosphere.
Regards

A short note on behalf of the T.K.S. mob to say many thanks for looking after us so well last week-end.
Thank you for providing glasses and candlelight at night and for that beaut ‘al fresco’ breakfast each morning. Annette’s ‘B & B’ pudding is still as good as the first time we were there.
Kind regards from us all especially me and Rellie

Paul and I would like to thank you for providing such a lovely peaceful accommodation as Woodbyne, a special little part of the world. We enjoyed our stay completely, thank you.

Both Kadyn and I thank you for your hospitality and providing accommodation at Woodbyne that could best be described as a 'cut above' - You truly attend to those special things which make the whole experience very personal and memorable. Add to this the most charming of hosts and it is the perfect experience. THANK YOU!
Hope it isn't too long before we have the pleasure of each others company again
Sincerely,

Thank you so much for making our stay so memorably pleasant. After the rigors of Sydney's gastronomic and Bacchanalian excesses, Woodbyne was the perfect place to chill out and regain one's balance! Your company on our last day was especially generous and much appreciated. We both hope to be able to reciprocate the hospitality when you next hit the 'Old Country'!
Fond Regards
Tony & Jane Fogg

Our visit to Woodbyne was unforgettable.
The rooms were so inviting and comfortable, especially the beds..............
I promised myself when the time came I would replace mine with the identical model
That time is fast approaching and I would love to know the particulars
Would you reveal the secret? It will never replace your hospitality or the legendary breakfasts experienced at Woodbyne but would bring a little everyday comfort.
With thanks

Just a quick message to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Woodbyne - your wonderful hotel was the perfect place for a much needed relaxing weekend away. From the beautifully designed and very comfortable room, to the attention to detail that was so obvious in every aspect of the property you have created - a truly lovely place to stay...we will definitely be back! (as, I am sure, will be many of our friends that we have raved too since our return!) Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Melissa and Andrew James 

Our very sincere thanks for the perfect retreat for old and very special friends. The rooms were superbly appointed, the breakfast without question the best ever eaten and the service friendly, professional and unobtrusive. We can thoroughly recommend Woodbyne Boutique Hotel and its beautiful gardens as a unique venue for a special occasion and look forward to a return visit.
Thank you once again for your hospitality,

Thank you for a wonderful weekend at Woodbyne . I might say that I was particularly unmotivated on Wed morning. I had to sit through a grueling day-long strategy meeting and let me tell you, that the only strategy that I could muster was "oh, to be back at Woodbyne ".
Never the less, here I am back in the rat race...I look forward to coming to stay again - maybe in spring when the garden is in full bloom.
Thank you again for a restful and pleasant stay.
Many thanks

See you soon, Fondest wishes

Just wanted to thank you once again for making our weekend such an enjoyable one despite the weather conditions. I could not think of a more pleasant place to spend a rainy, miserable day that at Woodbyne.
Hope to see you again soon. Maybe we'll see the area in sunshine next time!"

"I wanted to send you a personal "thank you" and to tell you just how much we enjoyed our short yet memorable stay with you. My wife and I were delighted with our stay and will certainly make it back to see you again. I promised you a couple of photos and especially one of your beautiful "Sophie".... I hope you enjoy them..
Kindest regards,

"We still have your brochure and, more importantly, wonderful memories of Woodbyne Boutique Hotel. It was an oasis for us. The nicest part of our stay in australia was staying at your lovely hotel. The rooms were so inviting and comfortable, the breakfasts "legendary", and the hospitality, from the two of you, out of this world! When we next visit Australia, and we hope it will not be too long from now, we are definitely planning a return booking to Woodbyne!
We wish you all the best

"We have just returned to Canada after a month's vacation in your beautiful country. During our trip we stayed in many fine hotels and dined in numerous good restaurants. One of the highlights was our stay at The Woodbyne. We enjoyed your beautiful hotel very much and our dinner and breakfasts were some of the best we experienced.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Regards,
Brian and Gerie Craig"

Hi there.
"Just wanted to say thank you for the memorable two days we spent at Woodbyne last weekend. Every little touch was appreciated and we certainly haven't hesitated to recommend Woodbyne to friends and family.
Kind regards,
