Gladysdale holiday rentals

As a retired couple looking for a short mid-week stay surrounded by nature, this property was ideal and offered a budget-friendly option for us. We enjoyed our short stay (3 nights) and we had everything we needed. The surrounding natural bushland and wildlife was beautiful and abundant. This property is suitable for children but they would need to be supervised at all times as there is an open dam (down a very steep dirt track) and vast wooded forrests opposite a lovely vineyard. On that note though, the huge undercover back carport/deck area is big enough for riding bikes, throwing a ball, a game of cricket etc. Providing shelter from the rain and sun, we loved this area and spent quite a lot of time there during the day and early evening. This farmhouse is culturally traditional in its styling so if you are expecting 5 star luxury with modern furniture and state-of-the-art decor, this is not for you. Having said that, it's very warm and comfortable, great quality bedding and super comfy bed in the primary bedroom, big family kitchen - an easy living family home. Local shops not close so make sure you take everything with you that you will need for your stay. As the crow flies, yes, 7-8kms realistic, but roads leading to property unmade and driveway leading to the farmhouse is quite treacherous in the wet (which is what we encountered). A four wheel drive or similar is recommended. Pot belly stove in the kitchen works, but filled the living room and kitchen with smoke, so we didn't use it. There is a split system in both the lounge and the primary bedroom, so still warm. No doors on second bedroom and third bedroom so they're open. Closing door on primary bedroom only. Depending on what you're looking for, there are some great positives in this vineyard/farmhouse property.

Hazeldene property was above our and all guests expectation. We enjoyed the large open entertainment area, the open fire place and the long dining table.This was for us the best place to celebrate.Everything was well prepared and clean on arrival,and it is very comfortable to have overnight accommodation onsite aswell. The wellmaintained grounds are a plus for walking and enjoyment.All of us had a great weekend.I can recommend Hazeldene to every one.

We stayed at the cottage here, a nice peaceful relaxed week away from the hustle of life. Whether it was sitting by the pool, going for a swim, playing billiards, or just having a cup of tea under the verandah looking toward the mountains - it was just what was needed. Would happily stay there again - thanks to Tonia for a pleasant experience!!!
