Guest Reviews

The accomodation is perfect, clean, neat and so much thought has gone into ensuring the customer experience is unique, relaxed and enjoyable. Loved the hospitality, the fire 🔥, the stars, the gardens. We loved everything.

• Jane (10/5): Absolutely fantastic experience 🌻 - Loved everything. Not just accommodation but an experience.🌻

• Geoff (9/5): -
• Susan (9/5): Perfect short-break with country hospitality. - Nice quiet getaway in a cute tiny home that had everything you need. Comfortable bed. Lovely attention to detail with homely touches including freshly baked biscuits and a lovely bottle of wine from the region. Enjoyed walking around the grounds with the tranquility of a beautiful sunset. Highly recommend for short getaway or a bit of luxury to break up a road trip. Would have liked a screen door to let you keep the door open at night for the breeze.
• Rene (10/5): Short excellent stop over in Griffith, will come back. - Lovely gardens, accommodation, excellent breakfast and friendly hosts Just the weather was a bit hot, but AC running when we arrived
• John (10/5): Richard was an extremely excellent host and made for a legendary stay! - Both good
• Robyn (10/5): The most amazing place to stay. We went with another couple and it was perfect. Jen and Richard are the best hosts. W - The hosts, Attention to detail Ambiance N/A
• Penny (10/5): What a hidden gem of a place. Definitely the best place to stay in Griffith. - Jen’s Pods are in a stunning garden, situated in a peaceful area that was very relaxing down a track that is surrounded by an orange grove. The pod was immaculate and had everything you needed, along with fridge, microwave, television and more. There was a bbq outside, with small kitchen area and seating with a wood burner, all at no extra cost. The host, Richard, came and greeted me and very kindly have me a complimentary bottle of wine to my choosing which was a surprise and bonus. And the cookies in the pod were absolutely delicious. I can’t rate this place enough and just wish I’d had time for a second night. Thank you Jen Pod’s for making it a really memorable stay. Nothing - it was all immaculate, even the electrical storm and rain!
• Jaramie (10/5): Cute and cosy place to stay - Beautifully appointed and very cosy place to stay! Jen and Richard are wonderful hosts who have really thought of everything. One of the best places we've stayed on our many travels 😊
• Dobrila Angeleski (10/5): - Jen and Richard go above and beyond. We loved everything about the service, accommodation and their generosity. It is the most tranquil and magical setting and I highly recommend coming here to unwind and get close to nature. Such a amazing beautiful getaway place.
• Andrew (10/5): -
• William (10/5): Sooooo relaxing - The beautiful gardens, hospitality and impeccable cleanliness. Being able to relax by the fire is a bonus!.
• Steve (10/5): Exceptional - Great location just outside the main town, the gardens were amazing, and the hosts could not do enough for you, would highly recommend this property Nothing
• Natalie (10/5): Enjoyable. - We absolutely loved our stay and Jen and Richard the owners are such amazing people. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Their property is stunning. We have booked for next year again for my mums 80th birthday. When we head to Griffith I will always try and stay there unless it is booked out.
• John (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyable. Would return on next visit to Griffith. - Peaceful and aesthetic location. Friendly and generous hosts. We enjoyed meeting Jen and Richard. Too little time there!
• Piggott (10/5): - Jen & Richard are the best hosts you could find, they made you feel like you are home from the time you pull up The sleeping pillows need to be thicker is the only thing I could suggest.
• William (10/5): - Serenity
• Caterina (9/5): Absolutely restful and comfortable. - Beautiful garden. Friendly and attentive hosts who even lit an open fire for us. The pod was supplied with everything one could possibly need, including a variety of device charges. The heater was a bit noisy. The space inside the pod was compact for Australian standards but larger than some English hotels.
• Hawes (10/5): -
• Shehreet (10/5): -
• mrschire (10/5): -
• Taylah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Moyah (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts are absolutely lovely and very accommodating. The wine and the fire made it such a lovely evening. Also, cannot forget to mention our host Jimmy the dog. The ducks, chickens and baby goats were also very cute! Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend enough! Nothing it was a lovely stay
• Stuart (9/5): Superb -
• Denise (10/5): Wonderful - Jen’s Garden Pods were delightful. The pod is very comfortable and well appointed. It turned very cold in Griffith during out stay and we appreciated the immediate hot water in the shower and the aircon. Jen and Richard were exceptional hosts making sure that we were welcome and comfortable. The BBQ kitchen is a great set up, and the fire an added bonus.
• Komal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Komal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Violet (10/5): Beautiful pod. - The pod is fully equipped and very comfortable. Set on a beautiful garden. The host Bill was very welcoming. And we loved those homemade cookies 😀
• Toby (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karl (10/5): An enjoyable first experience in a tiny home! - The location and garden, firepit and bbq area were really good. Breakfast was good - everything we expected for continental breakfast. The pod was a great experience. If only the pod was about 1 metre longer so that a little table and 2 chairs could fit inside when weather was rainy. But that was pretty well covered by the sheltered outside kitchen area.
• Dean (10/5): Do yourself a favour- go stay at Jens Garden Pods :) - This place was incredible, the hosts were the best, the pods were next level for cleanliness and comfort. There was nothing that was missed in providing exceptional facilities. We sat down with the host at our own fire pit and had wine and learnt the story about him and his wife. Then to top it off was driven into our restaurant in town!!!! The kindest people I have encountered. It was my wife's birthday and this place was soo cool and made it a lovely place to spend her special day. Can't wait to go back tbh Nothing could of been better, great experience
• Mccorriston (10/5): I will never choose to stay anywhere else while visiting the Griffith area. - Jen's Garden Pods exceeded my expectations in every respect. There were so many thoughtful and considered improvements throughout that I felt more looked after than in a luxury hotel.
• Lorna (10/5): Quality pod accommodation ina beautiful garden setting . - The hosts have an exceptional and beautiful garden setting and have given so much thought to planning the bnb. The hosts are supportive but not intrusive. The outdoor fire was cleaned out each night and restocked with wood. The pods are set up beautifully. The bed was extremely comfortable. The pod is well designed and had everything you needed. The professional information sheet about the history of their property and their area was extremely good . We liked their generous supplies for breakfast, their coffee machine and their attitude of total support for guests. I would give them more stars if you had more than 5 We liked everything
• Helen (10/5): Perfect ! - Just gorgeous. Unique stay to celebrate a very special birthday with my partner. Brekky basket to bbq ourselves was fabulous and the beautiful herbs growing nearby that we added to Brekky was a lovely touch. The pod had everything, so nice having a personal fire in the evening under the stars. and the hosts were absolutely lovely We couldn’t have stayed in a better place . That we had to go home !
• Mitch (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katherine (10/5): Owner made us so welcome on arrival. Even giving us a bottle of wine to have around the fire. Above and beyond with ever - It’s just a perfect. Was perfect for a relaxing night away Everything is there. A awesome set up with a fire pit to sit around. Perfect for sitting around with a glass of local wine or beer.
• John (10/5): What a place!!! You won't regret your purchase. - Location was beautiful and the garden pod was stunning. The surrounding gardens are absolutely stunning. Nothing to dislike. It was a beautiful location and so peaceful.
• Darryl (10/5): Lovely location and the facilities were fabulous - Wonderful location surrounded by beautiful gardens. Jen and Richard were fabulous hosts
• Luis (9/5): Superb -
• Wan (10/5): Exceptional - beautiful place and service so good
• Helen (10/5): Our stay was wonderful - Everything
• Alan (6/5): Interesting but inconvenient. - The setting is a wonderful garden, the facilities are first class, the bathroom is tiny but well equipped, the welcome was genuine. If the weather permitted, there are good amenities, a kitchen/bbq area and outdoor tables and chairs. The pod concept is innovative and fun. The reality is the pod is not big enough. There was no place to store luggage except if it could be fitted under the bed. The indoor area had a single seat and no separate table so two people could not sit in the pod to eat a meal. This may not be an issue if the weather suits outside dining as those facilities are excellent. But we were there when the temperature was over 40C in the day and high 30s in the evening making outside dining unpleasant. The air conditioning was in my opinion badly designed. It was barely effective and very noisy on the lowest fan setting, too loud for sleeping. The TV was useless. The free to air reception was abysmal, and all the streaming services required logins (which we didn't have). There was no alternate such as a radio.
• Susanne (10/5): We absolutely loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back. We’ve been raving about the place to anyone who’ll listen - Jen’s Garden Pods is a fabulous spot for a quiet getaway with family friends or just as a couple. The facilities in and around the pods are exceptional. Better than most 5 star hotels. The Pods are amazing, as were the gardens on the property. The hosts Jenny and Richard were lovely. Friendly, helpful and just all around great people. There was nothing NOT to like. We loved it.
• Therese (9/5): Superb - Bed was comfortable and facilities were great. The extra touches made our stay very enjoyable 😉. Could have been more coat-hanger for our clothes.
• Andrew (10/5): Will be going back again and telling all my friends and colleagues - Everything was great, the Hosts had the ac on prior to my arrival, place was clean and the surrounds and facilities were outstanding Nothing, everything was excellent
• Denise (10/5): Exceptional -
• Miriam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charlene (9/5): Accommodation was unreal. Tranquil, relaxing and absolutely beautiful we are going to go back soon. -

• Gemma (10/5): A delight! - Jen and Richard were amazing. So friendly, accommodating us at the last minute, even changing plans to make sure the place was ready for us. So welcoming and made us feel really comfortable. N/A - it was all excellent.
• Edward (9/5): recommended - Beautiful garden setting.
• Trish (9/5): Superb - Delightful space and perfect for our one night stay. Super comfy bed and generous breakfast provisions, plus we loved the outdoor space for breakfast in the morning. Enjoyed chatting to both Jenny and Richard and appreciated their helpful tips re the local restaurants. Would definitely stay again on our next visit to Griffith.
• Carlie (10/5): Absolutely amazing, cannot wait to go back! Exceeded all expectations, truely worth every cent. - Cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough, the Pod's had everything + more, the 'camp kitchen' was an unexpected surprise, the individual fire pit was the best seat for sunset (thanks for the tip) & the bed was one of the comfiest sleeps I've had!
• Andrew (10/5): Awesome -
• Alicia (10/5): Exceptional - The location is absolutely beautiful, lovely gardens to walk around in and is a very comfortable stay. The owners are so lovely and have thought of everything. We loved the runner ducks and seeing the dogs on occasion.
• Natasha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chris (10/5): Will positively advertise by word of mouth about the stay - It was too cold to have breakfast outdoors. In cold weather a more sheltered/warm facility would be very helpful. Not much
• Jenny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kennydmac (10/5): Top spot in Griffith - Fabulous spot with great facilities. It was a cold night but the fire pit kept us nice and toasty as we drank lovely wine and ate a bbq. Comfortable digs that had everything!!
• Michael (10/5): Excellent accomodation -
• Doug (10/5): They are fat little pods -
• Babu (10/5): Warm memories by the fire with wine and cosy stay, truly fulfilling our self care. - We liked the fireplace, the shower and bathroom amenities, and bedding/ attention to detail. Furthermore, the hospitality of Jen and Richard was spectacular, they greeted us with local wine, gave us suggestions about wineries and sights to see. Jen and Richard were warm and shared their property and family history. We could tell they were very knowledgeable, caring and warm people. Nothing
• Sonia (10/5): It was comfortable, clean and memorable. Really enjoyed our stay. - The pod is in a beautiful garden. The hosts have thought of everything. They are so friendly and so helpful.
• Genevieve (9/5): Comfortable stay in lovely garden with generous welcoming owners - Lovely overnight stay on long drive home. Generous welcoming hosts. Beautiful garden setting. Nothing

Amazing hospitality by two beautiful hosts who go above & beyond with all the little extra touches from the welcome sign, fire pot & wood, dressing gowns, slippers, blankets, breaky, coffee pod machine & gorgeous bikkies! Simply couldn’t have asked for more 💓
• Hammad (10/5): A perfect peaceful getaway .. - The Grounds were beautiful. Richard and Jenny were so nice and welcoming. Richard is an amazing person. He made us feel like home and like we were family. The pod was nice and clean and had everything that someone needs. He had a great camp fire and BBQ. The overall experience was tremendous. That we have to leave the property.
• Jason (10/5): Very quirky and homely - It was very clean and tidy. No bad comments
• Lynn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robert (10/5): Wonderful - Great things come in little packages. From Sydney we recently planned a short getaway to Griffith and its surrounds for a few nights and we're always looking for something different for our stay and we found just that. Our hosts Jen & Richard are two of the friendliest people we have met. They both warmly welcomed us into their beautifully appointed garden pods. We learnt alot from Richard about the property and its surrounds. Jen was super friendly and very helpful in letting us know of the nicest restaurants and attractions in the area. Such a quiet and cosy location. We could not have asked for anything more. The pods were very comfortable and every detail was considered. We absolutely loved walking through the beautiful gardens. The firepit, outdoor kitchen & BBQ area were perfect. The breakfast was wonderful and the location couldn't better suit us during our stay. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend. Thank you Jen & Richard. Nothing to not like. Everything was perfect for us. I wish we could have stayed longer.
• Millar (10/5): Happy as two peas in a Pod 😀 - We were first welcomed by Jimmy the Jack Russell who was a delightful dog. We then met Richard who was preparing the fire pit for us and his otber guests. We spoke for at least 20 minutes and it felt like we were at home. The pod were amazing with every little detail. We took advantage of the fresh breakfast option for a small fee. We cooked it on the BBQ and it was absolutely delicious. The property is an absolute credit to Jen and Richard and we really can't wait to visit again with friends 10/10 🥂 That we had to leave this wonderful property to come home to Sydney
• Renee (10/5): Perfect little retreat I highly recommend - My daughter & I stayed for a mini vacation in our home town as we couldn’t get away on school holidays this time. Jen’s garden pods are the best find! In a beautiful location, the pods are so well setup and decked out, every detail has been considered to the finest detail. The bed & linens are very comfortable, temperature controls were excellent, food & snacks all thought through as well. The pods are surrounded by gorgeous gardens, a fire pit all set ready to go, and a wine on arrival - thank you! The hosts are so very lovely and welcoming. I absolutely recommend.
• Edna (10/5): I cant wait to be back for a longer stay. - I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Jen's Pod Gardens, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped into the garden, I was captivated by the beauty and tranquility that surrounded me. The attention to detail in the design of the pods was remarkable. Each pod was thoughtfully arranged to create a harmonious blend of colors, textures, and scents, making it a feast for the senses. I found myself lost in the serenity of the garden, feeling completely at peace as I wandered through the winding pathways. Additionally, the ambiance of the garden was enhanced by the soothing background fountain of water and gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze. It provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and contemplation, allowing me to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a while. Overall, my experience at Jen's Pod Gardens was nothing short of magical. It's a hidden gem that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat into nature. Jen's Pod Gardens is sure to leave a lasting impression. I can't wait to visit again soon.
• Tracey (10/5): Beautiful and relaxing - My boyfriend and I spent the night here recently for his birthday. Jen and Richard were lovely welcoming hosts and surprised us with a happy birthday banner hung above the bed and a couple of drinks to help us celebrate. The room was beautiful, very well appointed, and extremely comfortable. It had everything we could possibly need, including a yummy breakfast! We enjoyed a quiet evening in, sitting by the fire in the beautiful gardens. We highly recommend Jen's Garden Pods and look forward to staying there again in the future.
