We had a wonderful stay at this property. The views are unrivalled and the house was well equipped and the owners were quick to answer any questions we had. We were a group of 7 and fit comfortably, across the many spaces with the loft space best suited for children 6-12 age.
We absolutely loved our stay. The property is unique with its wood panelling and comfy nooks throughout, but its real selling points were the breathtaking views from every window. We appreciated the little touches too like the chocolate biscuits in the fridge and bottle od wine ledt for us. Would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Kind Regards, Juliette
Almost every room in GrandviewHaus has a fabulous view, even when the fog rolled in it was fascinating to just sit and watch. All the beds were very comfortable, and there were three different lounging areas to spread out. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. Our grandchildren loved the bush walks nearby, and even though the house appears to be right on the edge of the cliff, it is quite safe for the kids to play outside. The kids loved sleeping up in the bunks in the loft - it was a great adventure for them!
We loved our stay in this unique property. The house had everything needed for a comfortable stay - well stocked kitchen, multiple living spaces (we used every single one), fireplaces and amazing views to sit and relax and chat with friends. Highly recommended
The view is obviously what most people come for but the house itself is very impressive. So well appointed - everything has been thought of. Wifi is not the greatest (my zoom meeting kept dropping out) but why are you working?! Really warm and cosy. Instructions are comprehensive and hosts are very kind and helpful. We loved our stay.
This was a wonderful spot to spend a few relaxing days, with astonishing views. Lovely to be able to cook looking out over the valley, and to sit on the balcony watching the sunset. The house is very comfortable, and has everything you could need. Lots of nooks and crannies, each with its own view. A really memorable stay.
We had such a lovely stay. Amazing views and was great to sit on the balcony or hang out around the fire after a long hike. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. Will definitely be back.
The overall impression is of an unusual house on the edge of the Kanimbla Valley with views from nearly every room. Children love the house with it’ s secret rooms. Very well equipped.
A great property with outstanding views and superb building architecture ( building perched on the edge of the escarpment).

Perfect getaway
We came here with a group of 11 adults for Christmas in July, The house fit us all very comfortably, with the various areas for sitting, chatting and looking at the view.
We cooked a full roast meal with turkey and pork, the oven and utensils on hand were great.
The rooms are all quite large and cosy and the view is amazing! Peter was extremely helpful and understanding, with great communication throughout our stay without being intrusive :)
Dont have one complaint! We hope to come back soon!

Fantastic Cosy Retreat with Wonderful Views
As a group of ten we were all blown away by the architectural design of this property. Within 5 mins of arriving we had well and truly immersed ourselves into the serenity of the surrounds and left the hustle and bustle of the city behind us. Peter was organised, prepared, informative, approachable and the best host we could ask for. We had been sent detailed info on directions, user guides etc prior to our visit. We had a breakage (part of the glass front to the log fire) which was accidental, but he handled the situation better than we could have anticipated and reassured us that these things happen. He was to hand for any queries and checked in to see if he could help each morning. We would love to return, the photos do not do the experience justice!

Magnificent property with a magnificent view
A perfect place to escape for a couple of days. A really interesting home architecturally - which complimented the awesome views into the Kanimbla Valley.
A labour of love from the owner / architect / and welcoming party - Peter. The homely house contains everything you could possibly need - and some great sit and chat areas - all with views of course. Thank you !

Architects Gem
This house is a real gem. It occupies a magnificent location and Peter, the owner / architect / builder has created a place worthy of the setting. Beautifully considered it is a very comfortable house from which we enjoyed the full variety of weather the mountains delivered. Incredible sunset views and swirling rainy mists shrouding the plunging cliff line. Thank you Peter for sharing this place and we look forward to finding the opportunity to return.
