“Goldsmiths”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 22, 2013

we had three nights at Goldsmith's in the Forest, it was great, the rooms wer nice and clean and the hosts really know the area. There were wombats in the garden and Les has set up a wombat cam so you can see them. This is a really great B&B and the food is good and I have put on... More

“If you are visiting the area, make a point of staying here.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 17, 2013

My wife and I stayed with them for two nights en route to our daughter’s wedding, (and if you are reading this Les and Darylin, everything worked out well). B&B web sites can be misleading, all too often you choose something that looks good and find when you get there that reality does not live up to the promise. That... More

“Wonderful Hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

Staying with Les and Darylin was an excellent decision as they nurture the old spirit of the B&B culture: To receive you with the same enthusiasm and warmth as if we were old friends. Les was a great guide teaching us to smell the different odors of the plants, to hear the birds and to see rare animals. In spite... More

“Wonderful experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Spectacular location in the peace and solitude of the forest. Birds all around, and the opportunity to explore. Friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming hosts. Superb home made breakfast. Heartily recommended for a complete getaway, conveniently close to Lakes Entrance.

“Nature and haute cuisine”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

This accommodation is beautifully located in the middle of the forest, just a few km away from Lakes Entrance. It is the ideal place to get away from a busy tourist place and enjoy fascinating birds in their natural habitat, while still very close to spectacular beaches. Getting up early in the morning and watching the forest come to life... More

“Good place to stay with great food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2012 via mobile

The owners and hosts and chefs are a pure delight. Les' experience of the trees and the birds makes things interesting whilst the food prepared by Darilyn compares with a top restaurant. Not to be missed!

“Delicious relaxing escape!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2012 via mobile

Surrounded by a bird-song filled forest, a 10 minute drive from the beach, Goldsmiths was a deliciously relaxing place to stay. We stayed 3 nights & ended up eating in for 2, because the food was so delicious & original (even catering to dietary needs with ease)! Our welcoming hosts Darilyn & Les, were very knowledgeable of the secrets of... More

“Enchanting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2010

Goldsmith's is a short journey out of Lakes Entrance sign-posted off the main road and down a forest track for about a mile. But don't be put off it's worth the trip because the b&b is set in its own 60 acres of forest and it's magical. Owner Les & Darilyn greet you (the gate has a sensor) and escort... More
