The Fairy Forest
Gunyatoo’s own Fairy Forest is a whimsical woodland trail built for younger guests — hidden fairy doors, little wooden signs and quiet clearings tucked into the valley’s trees. It’s also available to book for children’s Fairy Parties, a magical, no-plastic celebration space for little ones.
