Description

We are new and aiming for a 5 star rating.

The dining table seats ten plus there are two high chairs. The cooking facilities are first class with plumbed in ice/water side by side 600 litre refrigerator freezer, microwave oven, double wall oven, induction hob, dishwasher and full set of superb quality stainless steel saucepans, frying pans and roasters, plus all appliances including 10 cup rice cooker, utensils, kitchen knives, serving dishes, cutlery, crockery (30+ cups) and glassware (50+glasses). Selection of herbs and spices, plus olive oil, balsamic vinegar, coffee, tea and sugar are provided in the walk in pantry. If you require additional utensils, or anything simply send a note to and we'll provide them as quickly as possible.

The dining area also accommodates a vintage piano, large TV and DVD/VCR, music system with USB port for iPod, plus drawers full of games, DVDs (75 movies) and 100 CDs. Upstairs there's a library of 1,000 books!

Even more surprises

Extra wide solid timber double doors open the dining area to the lounge, offering very comfortable TV viewing in a modular leather suite to seat eight (or ten if you're more friendly) in front of the HD LCD screen (1920x1080p for those who understand these things) and DVD player. Or simply enjoy the open fire.

Central heating and cooling are controlled from the panel in the kitchen, along with intercom to front door and upstairs. Intercom is connected to the security system.

Venture further and if you're on business you'll love the fitted office with laser printer and cable modem and router with wired or wireless access. There's also an iMac with internet access and Appleworks word processing and spreadsheet programs if you happen to forget your own computer. Plus plenty of storage in cupboards and file drawers to keep your work organised.

Sleeps 16 (4 on camp beds) Plus 2 portacots (no charge) and an Emmalunga pram that could be used as a cot. No charge for babies in the portacots and pram.

Laundry is a breeze with a commercial washing machine and separate dryer (can dry nine towels in one go). The laundry has an indoor clothesline and can be used a drying room with the central ducted heating. There is also an outside line for all the towels you'll use in the endless swimming gas heated spa pool. There is also a full size bathroom downstairs off the laundry - handy for a shower after a dip.

The pool area includes a really big umbrella, eight seat outdoor dining setting and BBQ with roasting hood plus the full set of tools, skewers and corn spikes.

Three cars can be parked off street (one in auto lock up garage). The garage also has another 400 litre refrigerator (hidden in a cupboard) and extensive cupboard storage plus a pool table, a hookey game, three bikes (with helmets) a scooter and a vintage putter. The putter is required to test your skill or obtain that extra practice on the three hole putting green. A basketball hoop is attached to the front of the garage for enthusiastic types for a little one on one - the basketball is in the cupboard near the refrigerator. The rear garage doors fold back to open the garage to the pool area.

Also happy to provide pet's bed if requested. (Some conditions on pets though!) The property is fully fenced and there's a secure courtyard/garage area away from passing pedestrians where a pet can be left for a short time. Note: there is also a small room under the stairs that is perfect for the pet's bed (or great place to hide small children).

Upstairs, 10 people are easily accommodated in the four double bedrooms with walk-in robes (plus two more can sleep downstairs on the foldout couch in the office, and 4 more camp beds can be made up in the large studio bedroom upstairs). The 10 beds upstairs. There is one double in the master bedroom and 8 single beds (6 of these can be made into three doubles). All with luxurious Egyptian pure cotton bed linen. There is a selection of pillow types to suit the most fastidious.

There are two portacots and an Emmalunga pram that could also double as a cot - no charge for these.

There are two more bathrooms and two toilets upstairs. The bathrobes and heavyweight pure cotton bath sheets, towels, bath mats and face towels are also available for sale, by order. And the bed linen, but expect at least a twelve week wait on it before delivery.

Guest Reviews

 
  • "Lovely house in a great position, walking distance to the beach and St Kilda. Ideal for large groups as there is lots of space and lots of thing to keep the children interested. My relatives from interstate loved it."
    Theresa, July 2009
     
  • "Beautiful property in a nice quiet suburb. Highly reccommended."
    John, May 2009
     
  • "This property is absolutely beautiful, and exactly as advertised! It can easily accommodate large groups, with plenty of space to split off and do different activities at the same time. We really enjoyed ourselves, and are definitely coming back!"

  • "We were very fortunate to score a cancellation at this property when we were let down at the last minute for accommodation booked several months before our trip. Very fortunate because Buckrabanyule is probably the most comfortable, well supplied and spacious holiday accommodation I have found, and Greg couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Elwood is a very pleasant and convenient suburb and we are already plotting how soon we can get back to Elwood and Buckrabanyule!"
    Michele, March 2009
     
  • "Fantastic place!!! Four families with 6 children all under the age of 6. We all loved it. We will be back. "
    Nadine, March 2009
     
  • "My friends from France enjoyed their stay in this beautiful house very much. It is very big and there is simply everything provided. The kids didn't want to leave the pool or the movies or the Playstation racing wheel. Their parents loved being able to explore Melbourne without having to drive - it was a very convenient place to stay. I live in Ringwood and didn't realise Elwood was such a lovely area. ******"
    Ella, January 2009
     
  • "Much larger than it looks and beautifully set out. Three bathrooms with the big wall mirrors were great for the bride and bridesmaids (and mum!). We had a fabulous time. Greg is a really nice guy and helped us when the car stopped. You really need to stay at Buckrabanyule to appreciate all the good things. We'll be back without a wedding schedule next time. "
