" I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and your family for making mum's birthday so special, we had an absolute ball and it will be a weekend that we won't forget for the rest of our lives.
Everything was perfect and your hospitality was superb. Thank you so much for the YUMMY breakfast each morning,
I think we both put on 5kg each, hehehe, but it was all worth it.
We will definitely see you again in the future and I will send some photographs through to you soon.
Thank you again, mum said that she had the best birthday ever!!!!!

" Dear Francesca and Graham, Thank you both so much for the effort you put in to help make our wedding day as wonderful as it was. We’ve had so many comments from our guests about how beautiful SummerHills is, so I think you will have a few repeat customers over the next few years! You both made the day so easy for Trent and I and we are very grateful for that. Everything was amazing but there were a few things that stood out for us-
Ceremony- we were both really happy with David and the set up/rose petal aisle etc looked perfect. Wedding Cake- those chocolates cup cakes were so moist and rich, they were amazing and the cake looked beautiful. Flowers- all the flowers were perfect; especially my bouquet and it came up so well in the photos! Flow of the day-it ran so smoothly and as above you helped make the day very easy for us. Hairdresser- Tracey was amazing, she did such a good job with everyone’s hair, especially mine and she was very supportive when my nerves got the better of me just before the ceremony! Please thank her for me. SummerHills Staff- all your staff and the catering staff were so friendly and helpful. If you would like to view the photos, see our website. Be warned though, there are about 600 photo’s on the site. All the Best!

We have another wedding this weekend, (does it ever stop?) and work is nuts. Anyway, thanks for a great time at SummerHills we had the best time and we will always remember it. Once we get 2 minutes rest we will go through the photo’s and forward them onto you, shame the other ones didn’t work? And glad you liked them. I’ll send them to you soon as.

*SUMMERHILLS!
I came across this precious place via the internet. Nathan (my son) & I stayed here for two glorious nights! I loved it so much that I asked Francesca & Graham (property owners/managers), who are just the most beautiful people, if I could film my video clip there. They said YES! I will be filming in early May of this year. I can't wait!
Do yourself a favor and get out there, it is absolutely breathtaking and your hosts will make you feel so welcome.......... :) Neri xo

" Dear Francesca and Graham, a rather belated congratulations on the organization of the wedding of our son Adam and his lovely aussie girl Karen. It was the most perfect day from start to finish. The beach ceremony on Watego’s and afterwards at your most amazing property Summerhills in the hinterland was so wonderful- a huge- “thank you” for helping to make our first visit to Australia so memorable. A big feather in your caps for doing such a fantastic job! We have seen the dvd which has brought back so many happy memories. On the case of the dvd is the most wonderful photograph of Adam and Karen which my 95 year old Mother simply loves- despite having the option of another 250 from the official photographer! Again a professional job very well done!!

"Dear Francesca. Firstly apologies for not replying to your email but, until today, I haven’t been able to get on line since the 20th of January. However all is now well. I received the cd today. You obviously obtained our address from another source. Thank you so much for your help, it is a particularly lovely photo of Adam and Karen. We love the dvd I cry every time I watch it and my elderly mother, who was unable to get to the wedding really feels, after she has viewed it, that she was actually there, so we are grateful for that. We still talk about your lovely property and its wonderful location, the countryside reminded us very much of Devon, where we live, but of course, with much better weather. It is still appalling here at the moment rain and gales. Our thanks again and regard to Graham. Best wishes.

"Hi Francesca and Graham, This was my first day off since Christmas. Thank you so much, we received the video ok and are so very pleased with it. We sent the second copy to Adam’s parents and they are equally as pleased, as were Adam’s Grand ma and Grand pa- who couldn’t make it to the wedding as they are too elderly to travel, (both in their mid 90’s.) so lots of happy people all round. The quality was amazing and we are thrilled that we have such a beautiful memory of our big day. It is so clear that it feels like we are re-living it every time we watch it. Please pass on this email to your videographer, and tell him we couldn’t have been any happier- it is just perfect! Thanks again for our efforts to make our wedding day the best day of our lives, we will be forever grateful. We will definitely see you both again one day- Maybe for our first anniversary, or in early 2008- and maybe with a new edition to our family (fingers crossed) P.S. not sure if I told you but we were extremely happy with the photo’s and are also blown away by their fantastic quality, coupled with the photographers’ amazing craft."

"Hi Francesca, Pat and I were all ready to come out and see you just after Christmas when we were on our way back from Bribie Island when we unexpectedly had to come home early to work and we left our wedding album at mum and dad's. However hopefully we will be going up there sometime soon and we will endeavour to make out way out to see you ASAP. We watched the wedding video at Christmas. Some funny stuff!!! Hope you and Graham had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year and I hope 2007 brings you many more weddings so all the people in the world can see what a great job you do and how wonderful it is out there!!!! Take care, see you soon."

"Hi Francesca. How are you both going? We have been back for 2 weeks now and you would never know that we had even left. I missed the kids so much, but we still enjoyed ourselves. We had the most spectacular weather the whole time we were away and just had the time of our lives. I just received the DVD of all our photos from the photographer yesterday, WOW they are fantastic. We can’t even begin to thank the two of you and all your staff. The whole experience from start to finish was relaxing, easy, fun and most of all you provided us with the most incredible memories of the greatest day of our lives and for that we are very thankful. I know you are heaps away for the holidays so from all the Whipp's family to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks we’ll chat soon."

"Hi Francesca, we have just returned to earth and jobs with a huge bang. The honeymoon on Bedarra and Noosa was amazing, we could have stayed a month on Bedarra it was absolute bliss. Noosa was also fun, lovely restaurants, atmosphere and things to wine away the days. Thank you once again for all the help with the wedding, it was absolutely perfect. Everything was amazing from the weather right through to the Hippo's. Many people have commented on how good the food was and the idea of the banquet set up. Not to mention the fantastic setting of Summerhills. Hope you are Graham are both well. Have a Great Christmas. "

" Hi Francesca and Graham. We're back from our honeymoon in Fiji and its back to reality...just wanted to drop you a line and say a HUGE thank you for making our wedding day simply amazing. Words don't describe how it made us feel, and to say "Thank you" seems to fall so far below the mark…we deeply appreciate all your hard work, your friendship, your attention to detail, and to the love you put into it to make it so special. We were absolutely thrilled with how it all turned out- way beyond our wildest dreams. Everyone is still talking about it! It was magical. We'll never forget what you have done for us, and we'll definitely be coming back. We’ll send you a photo or two when Stephen sends us some pics! Lot's of Love. P.S. thanks again for the rose petal bath...it really made the ceremony complete. P.P.S. Had a flashback the other day and seem to recall the make-up artist saying she left a lipstick with you in case I need a touch-up...is that right?? I'm desperate to know what she used- it was a stain…it was awesome! Thanks again. WE LOVE YOU!"

"Dear Francesca and Graham. I am sorry I did not get to see you before we left Summerhills after Matt and Kate's wedding, but we were on a pretty tight schedule to get to Coolangatta airport by 9.30am. David and I would like to thank you, and your team, for making the wedding so enjoyable. The venue was magical and the personal touches made all the difference. We all felt relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the whole three nights we were there. I hope we can come and stay again sometime and sample some more of your hospitality, and the special treatments you offer. David and I had a wonderful week looking after Mia in Sydney…she really is an amazing little girl and so easy to look after. Matt and Kate enjoyed their stay in Fiji and came back looking tanned and very relaxed. I was sad to leave them yesterday to fly back to Melbourne but we will be seeing them again at Xmas. Thank you again for making the wedding such a memorable event. All the best."

Adam said it was the 'Best Day Of His Life' better even than Parramatta winning the Grand Final would be! That is some statement from him. The photos were all great. Thanks once again to you, Graham, your son and the rest of the team you have assembled. You sis a magnificent job and we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wanting a Wedding with a difference. We hope that one day we will get the chance to come back and stay for a few days at SummerHills.

The day was just 'PERFECT'. Please don't think your involvement for their Beautiful Day has gone unnoticed.. I assure you it hasn't. I must also congratulate you on having such a 'Beautiful Slice of Land' that you have generously opened up for all to enjoy...from your warm hearts & lovely homestead...right down to the macadamia nut tree walk and livestock…all too lovely!
My wish for you is that 'The Warmth of SummerHills' will continue successfully for many years – for all to enjoy, as we did! Once again 'THANK YOU' both very much, it was a pleasure to meet you at last. (If I ever marry again, 'SummerHills' is where it would take place).

"Graham Francesca & Max, Just a little something to say thank you for looking after mum Danny & I over the last week & a half. It's been wonderfully relaxing invigorating & couldn't think of a better place to start off 2006, on a 'High' once again a big thank you. All the very best in 2006, a year filled with happiness success.
PS: You should be proud of your achievements in putting together this inspiring 'RETREAT'

" Dear Francesca & Graham this is a thank you that comes from the hearts. You both know how much we’ve all (our extended families included) have loved SummerHills – but we want to especially thank you both. What makes this place special in what you bring – the warmth, the little touches, and a feeling of relief and of possibilities. In our own ways we have all breathed out here and have relished in the slowing down, the pleasures of cooking & swimming & talking. And we have each in our own ways been transformed here. My journey began through emails & talks with Francesca, & Nick & I have started other journeys with Graham, thanks to both of you! We will never forget this time – I've waited many months for this & it's been beyond our imaginings. Thank you for all this and for a space in our hearts & minds.

" Francesca & Graham, Thank you so much for our stay at SummerHills, it was everything I hoped for & more. I hope the drive to Sydney was relaxing (as much as it can be!) and that you had a wonderful Christmas with the family. Mike & I would like you to pass on incredible thanks to all the therapists – they were all gifts from the gods! Wish I could have brought them all home with me. Anyway, Mike & I wish you all a wonderful 2006 and hope to see you soon.
"
With warm regards Jo & Mike |

" Dear Francesca & Graham, thank you so much again for making our stay at SummerHills last weekend so special. Both Charmaine and myself would have dearly liked to have stayed another night. The peacefully beautiful surroundings were optimal for relaxing and of course it helped that the weather was perfect too! As I mentioned in your guest book, it felt more like staying with friends than at a B&B. The delicious breakfast and the great company also attributed to make it an unforgettable experience!
All the best for the future, hopefully we'll have a chance to visit again soon.
PS: I included the photo memento I took at breakfast. A really nice shot of you guys and a great reminder of your generous hospitality.

" Hi Francesca, How are you? Just got back from our honeymoon on Saturday. I'd just like to say a huge thank you from Cadell and I for all the amazing work and Graham and you team put in on our day and the days surrounding it. We consider ourselves blessed that we had our wedding at SummerHills with you. It was a truly magical experience and the way you took care of us was unbelievable. Once again, thank you, for looking after every little detail and making sure that everything was taken care of. After seeing you in action, people would be forgiven for thinking that planning a beautiful wedding like ours would be simple!! We know otherwise

" Hi Francesca, How is life? Very busy I would guess...Just wanted to touch base with you and thank you all again for such a wonderful weekend, everyone had a great time. Sorry I have not been in touch sooner, we got back from the Honeymoon (which was fabulous, very relaxing) on Friday and have been flat out ever since. Anyway, hope all is going well for you all and will chat soon
"
Thanks heaps, Jal. |

"Hi Francesca & Graham, We can't thank you enough!!! How are you both? Absolutely shattered I'm sure what with how busy you are this month! Well Richard and I just wanted to write and thank you for making the best day of our lives be as perfect and it could possibly be! Everything ran SO smoothly and without stress. (Well at least for us anyway!) We just weren’t worried about a thing because we knew you both had everything all under control. It really allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. From the moment we first met you to talk about our ideas we knew you were going to help to make our day wonderful. You even managed to make us a magnificent strawberry pyramid that everyone was talking about!!! Thank you both so very much. We couldn’t have done it without you
"
All our love Nicola & Richard. |

"Hello there, I am back under a mountain of work, yet my mind is still in Byron Bay. Thanks again Francesca and Graham for a great wedding. It's pretty special when as time goes on my memories of the day just get better... Please keep in touch as we love your company (and, don’t worry, I promise not to sing to you guys.) Hope to see you soon

"Hi Francesca, Just a quick note to thank you again for a lovely 'relaxing' weekend....I think it was definitely what the Dr ordered.(The beet root juice on Sunday morning was so scrumptious!) We arrived back home to a rainy Sydney, but both feel rejuvenated and well I know I have a spring in my step again.
You certainly have a slice of paradise in SummerHills...we look forward to visiting again soon.
"
Kind regards Nicole. |
