Wonderful weekend away, beautiful 'chapel' and surrounds. We will be back!
On the 29th March 1997 we were married...26 years later, here we are, celebrating in your absolutely stunning little cottage! It's just amazing and your effort in creating such a gorgeous place for everyone to enjoy is obvious - so much work has gone into this!! Simply incredible and absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much.
A wonderful location for a weekend getaway to celebrate our 16 year wedding anniversary. The attention to detail, comfortable accommodation and delicious Fromage Hamper were just wonderful and we had an amazing time. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this magical little escape that you've created! We had an amazing time celebrating my fiance's birthday.
Thank you! My 16 year old self is losing her little gothic mind! Such a beautiful cottage the styling is exceptional! Also, wonderful choice of coffee - 10/10!
Thanks for the incredible stay. We adore this cottage, your hard work and incredible styling so much.
Thank you for creating a magical weekend away with all the attention to detail. It felt highly refreshing to feel so far away from the city. Everything about this is like a fairytale dream come true.
We could not have been more impressed with the thought and imagination used to create such a wonderful space. Had an amazing night. Will be telling people in Qld about this beautiful cottage.
This is truly a magical place! So peaceful, very clean, perfect getaway for our 20th anniversary. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for an amazing time. We will be back!
Thank you, we very much enjoyed your storybook cottage. Such a delight to find it at the end of the pathway, and to discover all the fine detailing on the inside. The garden is lovely, as is the privacy.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your goegeous cottage; it has made our honeymoon so much more romantic and intimate. The cottage's unique class and stunning surrounds will most certainly be memorable and I know we will absolutely recommend to family and friends...we look forward to coming back to celebrate anniversaries to come. Your attention to detail in the decor, fluffiness of the robes and little provided games has made this time absolutely perfect.
Thank you for the truly amazing overnight stay. Your little cottage was more than perfect! From the moment we walked through the door we were in love with the styling, the accommodation, the warmth. It was just absolutely perfect. A happy couple - a newly engaged couple - we are so over the moon!
A little slice of heaven on earth. So beautiful. Thank you for our stay. We own our own accommodation facility in NSW. We were weary, rundown and tired. Silverleaf Cottage you were like oxygen to the soul. Thank you ever so much.
You have truly created such a magical and romantic place and I feel extremely grateful to have stayed here for my birthday. Every aspect was nothing short of perfect and we cannot wait to come and stay again in the future.
What a pleasure it was to spend 3 nights in your beautiful cottage. Beautifully presented and very unique, it's been a very memorable and enjoyable experience to start our marriage. All in all a fantastic experience and one I'll happily suggest to family and friends who are looking for somewhere for that special occasion or peaceful night away.
Thank you for a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage. So much charm and character and all the little extra touches made it even more special. We couldn't have asked for a more magical and romantic place to have our little pre-wedding escape.
Thank you for preparing such a lovely chalet. Everything from the furniture to the little things such as board games, amenities as well as the beautiful staircase, bathroom and a really comfy bed. This is the cutest, most romantic and cosiest stay we've ever had. Just so you know, the photos online don't do this amazing stay justice. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others.
Thank you for the most amazingly picturesque stay! Perfect little getaway! French with a little gothic charm, we definitely plan on returning again in the future.
This place genuinely feels like it was pulled straight out of a fairy tale. Our stay was far too short and we will definitely be back, it was magical.
We absolutely loved the romantic, peaceful feel of this beautiful cottage. Elegantly styled and exquisitely set out. The perfect place to celebrate love. We will be back.
What a beautiful spot to get away. So amazingly quiet, we loved every minute of it. The website pictures really don't do it justice, so beautifully styled and thought through. We had the best time.
Silverleaf Cottage, what an enchanting little escape! Thank you for the magic, stunning gardens, beautiful cottage and lovely hospitality and energy. From the radio playlist to soft plush robes, every detail is stunning and well thought out.
My goodness what a truly wonderful and picturesque cottage you have created. My husband and I have come to celebrate our 4th anniversary and the purchase of our first home. We are truly thankful and grateful to have made some precious memories here. You have gone above and beyond...we look forward to staying again in the near future.
What a truly amazing place you have created. I was looking for something different as a surprise getaway for my husband's 60th and this delivered that. The attention to detail is second to none. The french theme, the gardens and the luxurious amenities set the scen for a romantic magical getaway.
A figment of the imagination and a patch of paradise. It was our wedding anniversary and this place provided a fantastical backdrop with so many bits of accompaniment - a french romance theme, a well-tended garden, luxurious amenities, and constant reminders of how good life is! Thanks for creating this oasis...truly praiseworthy.
We took a ferry across Port Phillip Bay from Queenscliff and ended up in France. Truly unique, one of a kind accommodation. Silverleaf Cottage is a credit to your imagination and design skills. We have thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days here celebrating my darling husband's birthday.
Magical stay in the heart of Rye!
Location, decor, garden and surrounds was artfully curated and magical. It was like staying in a cottage straight out of a fairytale. Landscaping was beautifully maintained and loved every little detail. Our host was lovely and accommodating with amazing suggestions and warm hospitality.
Magical fairytale stay for us. Loved every single detail inside and outside of this cottage. No words can describe how beautiful and peaceful these days have been. Thank you once again...we will be back soon.
"We will remember this place all of our lives"
Fabulous, quirky, super clean and tres French! We loved the black and cream decor and the thick, fluffy, soft towels. Bernadette has spun some magic to provide a lucky few everything you might associate with a cute, country cottage in France. Gorgeous, highly recommend a stay.
The chalet is absolutely beautiful. Exactly as I imagined from the photos. We didn't get to use the outside facilities, such as the firepit, due to unfortunate weather, but it was as beautiful outside as it was inside and the storm only added to the charm. The location is ideal. Not far from the beach and main shopping areas, but well away from the touristy hustle. I would 100% recommend a stay at Silverleaf Cottage. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The Silverleaf Cottage is so cute and we are very impressed. It's a really cool theme and it is definitely a more fun and interesting experience than usual getaways. We were supposed to visit in April 2020 but all hell broke loose so we're glad we were able to make it now. We had a wonderful time.
Silverleaf Cottage is the perfect getaway for couples. It was thoroughly relaxing and just what we needed for recharging the batteries. The sounds of the birds in the mornings was just divine, and set the tone for the day. Thank you for your hospitality Bernadette. John and I had such a lovely stay at your gorgeous cottage. You have thought of absolutely everything to make everyone's experience top class. Thanks again.
Beautiful romantic retreat. We really enjoyed it...the garden was absolutely enchanting, the loft bed was very comfortable, the interior design was quirky and the entire place was absolutely spotless. We were very grateful for the thoughtful inclusions of breakfast supplies and the really comfortable bathrobes. Would highly recommend.
What a beautiful cottage. Every little thing has been thought of. Love the decor. Beautiful garden. So peaceful and private. Perfect getaway. Very comfortable. Thank you.
Such a beautiful place to stay at! Thank you for helping us make our Valentine's weekend away so magical! From the gardens to the decor, everything was set out perfectly. We are definitely recommending this place to all of our friends.
Words does no justice to this amazing artisanal french chateau! The place is exactly as it is in pictures and in some cases I would argue that the place looks much better than the photos. Every detail from the bookcase at the top to the towels in the bathroom, cosy space for wine or a morning tea outside, to the entrance with flowers screams fancy!!! We were sad to checkout so soon as we stayed only one night, looking forward to a longer trip soon. Thanks to Bernadette for being such a well maintained and authentic place!
Thank you for creating such a wonderful place! Beautifully presented and appointed in a lovely private setting. We totally enjoyed our 2 night stay and would recommend to friends for a visit.
What a beautiful cottage you have created! We loved every minute of our stay in this peaceful little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thank you so much for the care and attention you put into the cottage and surrounds.
If you want an opulent place for a beautiful weekend away with a special person...here it is ! We had the most relaxing stay and plenty to see and do...the hot springs are so close...romantic is definitely the words to describe Bernadette's place...there was nothing to fault in this high end accommodation...so many details such as scrumptious fluffy robes and towels, and beautiful dinnerware. This property is highly recommended for that special time with a loved one...so enjoyed coming back to relax in the evenings...the opulent touches are divine, we spent quite a bit of time looking at the details ...stunning and loved it.
We loved this place. Everything about it is perfect. You have done an amazing job and I could live in it. Thank you for a lovely stay. We will be back. Keep the magic going. x
Love this beautiful hideaway. The atmosphere and decor creates such a magical place. We had a wonderful overnight stay and enjoyed the serenity (kid free!) Will definitely come back to this special place ...The cottage was a magical hidden gem.
Thank you for the lovely night away. It was so nice and relaxing to get out of Melbourne! There's nothing more precious than spending time with those we love. Thank you for this beautiful space. See you next time.
I SAID YES! Absolutely perfect, I couldn't think of a more special and breathtaking place to be proposed to by the love of my life! Thank you.
What a charming little space! Everything was so thoughtfully put together. Both the inside and outside are just picture perfect and the facilities didn't disappoint either! Thank you so much. Couldn't have asked for a cuter place to spend our engagement night!
We absolutely adored our stay at Silverleaf Cottage - such a beautiful little sanctuary that’s been styled immaculately to take you on a journey back in time. The plush robes were an amazing extra touch after a nice hot shower on a cold rainy day...we loved our stay and had a gorgeous relaxing weekend getaway.
Thank you very much for our magnificent stay. You have created a magical hideaway. The missus wants to create this in our home! We will definitely be back.
Sending you all of our thanks and appreciation for this wonderful little tucked away world you have created. Our lives of late have been to say the least - stressful and we were finally able to switch off and be in the moment here. It felt like we were staying in a Pinterest Board.
Perfect place to hide away mid school holidays! Peaceful, quiet, hidden. Thank you!
Absolutely loved my stay here and will most definitely be back!!! Was one of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed at. Was absolutely stunning inside and out. Bernadette was an amazing host and Silverleaf Cottage was to die for. Highly recommend! ...This cottage is absolutely majestic from the detailed high pitched ceiling to the beautiful embroidered towels...
Silverleaf Cottage not only met but exceeded our expectations. The photos were not at all deceiving, yet a perfect illustration of how wonderful it truly is. A must for a perfect romantic couples getaway. Will definitely be back. Can’t thank you enough for such a magical stay. Your cottage took our breath away from the moment we laid our eyes on it. Can’t wait to come back again.
Thank you for making such an effort - a beautiful cottage in an ideallic location. Everything is immaculately presented and you have taken care to think of everything. For future guests - try the Loquat Restaurant for exceptional food in an intimate setting, and the local beaches are fabulous. Many thanks.
Thank you for an amazing magical cottage - it's so beautiful. Very comfortable and relaxing - we will definitely be back. Love the decor and privacy.
Thank you for your wonderful cottage. Absolutely stunning, your design and attention to detail is exceptional. Had such a relaxing time and didn't want to leave. Will definitely be back.
Thanks so much for a beautiful stay. The cottage is absolutely amazing, great ambience with such a warm feel. I'm happy to say that Joanne said YES to my proposal. Such a beautiful setting that will be with us forever.
Silverleaf Cottage you have been GORGEOUS!!! My husband booked a stay with you as a surprise for me for my 40th birthday. I have to say I was blown away! The attention to detail has given it a 'magical feel'. We will definitely be back.

What a magical cottage, ambience and space you have created! From the enchanting path leading up to the cottage, to arriving and opening the front door we 'oooed' and 'aaahed' with delight. A perfect complement accommodation with the Dine & Spa experience at the Hot Springs! Leaving refreshed, loved and fulfilled from a magical weekend! With gratitude!
An amazing place to stay and celebrate 15 years of marriage. The place was all I thought it would be and more. A great surprise for my husband. Thank you.
Wow!! This place is absolutely awesome. Beautiful night's accommodation and a real romantic getaway. Dinner was at '10 minutes by Tractor'. Now let's tuck into breakfast. Over and out.
Had an absolutely amazing stay. Such a perfect little escape for 2. We will be coming back. We both loved every second here and cannot wait to do another little adventure. Thank you so much for such an amazing stay!!
Such an amazing setup. The gardens were awesome and the fact there was a campfire was even better. Wish we could take the robes home with us! We had a great stay, thank you.
Thank you! Every detail is perfect. We had a very relaxing night. Very warm and cosy...
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful cottage. It's our 10 year anniversary and it's been our first night away together since having our second child 16 months ago. Hoping to be back for my 27th birthday next month. Absolutely stunning place! Thanks again. You're amazing.

Thank you. An amazing way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in such a beautiful setting. We will need to go to Paris on our 30th anniversary to top our experience of the sweet little cottage on top of the hill, Silverleaf. Special memories we will always treasure.
What exquisite taste you have! I was charmed by this gorgeous cottage as soon as we started walking up the path. Thank you for all your thoughtfulness that has gone into providing such a beautiful place for us romantics to rest in as we meander.

This is an absolutely beautiful place. My husband has picked the perfect place for our anniversary! Thank you so much.
On one of the coldest nights of the year Silverleaf Cottage was cosy and warm and romantic. The attention to detail was superb and every whim was catered for. We awoke to bird calls and sunshine through our window and feel as if we can return to the hustle and bustle with a song in our hearts! The dappled light through the window was divine...loved the garden ...
Thank you! Our weekend has been idyllic.
...What well thought out decor it is. We had a wonderfully peaceful stay, and will have a magic time at 'the baths'. Merci beaucoup for this serene and romantic place.
Our two year anniversary. Absolutely beautiful/romantic accommodation. Will definitely highly recommend. We look forward to revisiting in the near future!

I brought my lovely man to Silverleaf for a surprise 40th getaway. So romantic and special! Thank you for providing such a tranquil setting. Unfortunately our visit was only an overnight stay but we both want to come back! Loved it!
Valentine's Day 2015 - What can I say, you have truly captured 'Romance'. You set the scene for a very special Valentine's Day weekend. Brian and I have been married for 15 years and have travelled to far away places but never realised we only needed to go a short distance from home to feel like we are 'a world away.' We feel very blessed we had the opportunity to stay in your 'Silverleaf Cottage.'
A beautiful getaway set amidst a quiet and peaceful property. Thank you, the cottage is divine! Sadly for one night only, hope to be back again soon!
Thank you for a lovely two night stay away from the maddening crowd. Very relaxing - with everything we needed and close to all we wanted to do.
This was the setting to get away from the city of noise, and enjoy the music of love. PERFECT!
Thank you for creating a beautiful escape! A fantastic relaxing weekend!
Best things, privacy, romantic, beautiful, close to beach and hot springs, designed for lovers. Great bed and shower. Really cute!
Thank you so very much for a beautiful night away... Silverleaf Cottage is beautiful.
