Liked: Check-in, communication, location
We had a lovely time, with the property large enough for our extended family. If I was to be critical for purposes of continuous improvement, the property walls and carpets could do with a freshen up and some of the bedrooms smell musty. Dishwasher did not work at first requiring cleanout of food scraps from the basket. The oven is a bit of a mystery with the light remaining on despite being switched off and with no retained temperature. We were happy to collect firewood however had it been wet and cold, dry firewood would have been convenient.

It was a pleasure hosting Bruce and his family at Timbalah. We are so pleased they had a great stay and loved the house, and we appreciate his feedback. The oven light is a bit tricky, but an easy press of the button for on/ off. Firewood is provided through the winter months for guests convenience, or by request on forecast cooler / wet periods through summer if required. We would love to welcome Bruce and his friends / family back to Timbalah again anytime.

The location was lovely and the facilities were mostly clean. We enjoyed our stay here. I agree with one of the reviews as the cleanliness of the place was not the best - but I think it is because it is a pet-friendly location. The dishwasher was unusable as there was mould inside which did not disappear even though we ran the machine. Oven looked like it has never been cleaned and the utensils are everywhere. Other than that - it was a great short getaway in a very spacious and aesthetic house.

We had an amazing stay. We wanted a country getaway from our busy lifestyles and we got exactly that. The property was beautiful- the indoor fireplace was lovely and the whole place was so clean. Tim was a very good host, we really appreciated the extra touches of a bottle of wine and chocolates. The kids had a great time too, huge backyard and the walk to the falls was very easy,Think we might make it annual getaway with the family.Thanks Tim!

The house has so much space - it’s perfect for a big group. No one’s on top of each other. Beds were comfy Plus owner is so kind and made sure we had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Location is great too. There’s a playground on the street. And a small walk from Fitzroy falls Would add that if you have small kids - it’s a little sketchy walking on the main road with them - although it’s not for long. Anyway - house is great!

Great location for getting away from the rat-race. Timbala is a very large property suitable for a party of 10 adults or up to 14 with children. The large kitchen, hot-tub and pool table were a hit.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The house is very large and in a great central location with lovely walks nearby. There's a ton of room and the facilities were great (spa, barbecue etc). A few things to note: the master bedroom is not enclosed, so sound travels up from downstairs — something to be aware of if you wanted to have a sleep-in or go to bed before other guests. Some of the mattresses needed updating. Overall the house wasn’t very clean, which was disappointing. A little dated and in need of an update, we’d describe it more as a fun homestead for families as opposed to a luxurious country retreat.
