Questions, answered by The Floating Forest

How long should we stay?
Our guests tell us that a minimum stay of two nights is required to fully appreciate all that The Floating Forest has to offer. It’s a fabulous central place to base yourself for longer if you want to explore everything the Great Southern Region has to offer.
Is The Floating Forest pet friendly?
Our chalets in Denmark are not dog friendly. The Floating Forest is a sanctuary for native animals that will get scared if unknown animals are on site. We have been known to make exceptions for well-behaved non-shedding dogs. Let us know. If your friendly pooch meets this criteria. Unfortunately, we’re not a cat friendly location.
Can I buy a gift voucher?
Yes. We would love to give you the opportunity to share the magic of The Floating Forest with family and friends. Vouchers can be for a fixed dollar amount or the equivalent value of a certain number of nights. Give us a call or send us an email to arrange.
Is The Floating Forest child friendly?
Yes. The two bedroom multi-level Jarrah chalet can accommodate a small family of up to four people. All other chalets have one bed and are designed for up to two people. All chalets can accommodate an extra person by squeezing in our rollaway bed or one of our Glamswags. We can also provide a portacot and a high chair for your infant. It’s best to call to discuss your needs.
Can I use the fireplace all year round?
Shire restrictions are in place during the summer months and we do not allow our indoor fireplaces to be used during these times. The Floating Forest is in a bushfire prone zone, therefore no outdoor open fires are permitted at any time. You are welcome to use your balcony BBQ at any time. Thank you for understanding.
Do you have on site laundry facilities?
If you’re in our Jarrah chalet then you have your own private laundry with washing machine, washing powder, and drying rack. If you’re staying in any of our other chalets, then you will need to go into Denmark town and use the public laundromat.
Can we park our camper trailer or boat on the property?
Yes. The Floating Forest is set on about 25 acres, and about 5 acres are cleared, so there are plenty of options to park your camper trailer or boat on-site.
Can I change my booking?
We understand that even the best plans can change. Yes, you can change your booking, provided you give us at least 14 days notice. Please call or email us, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your changes.
