Tharah proudly sits on 6 park-like acres in picturesque Mount View, with un-interrupted views of the surrounding hills and ranges. This property ideal for those larger groups of families and friends or corporate clients looking for a peaceful retreat at the foot of the mountains.
This remarkable country homestead will embrace you with its friendly and welcoming feel. You will be instantly impressed with the beautifully landscaped gardens and manicured hedges. The generous open-plan spaces and large living areas, complete with an expansive covered outdoor entertaining area, spilling onto a sparkling in-ground pool and outdoor pizza oven makes the ideal setting for entertaining your family and friends. The new games room boasts a pool table, dart board and table tennis table.
Boasting 9 spacious bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms (including 2 ensuites-one featuring a corner spa bath), this impressive homestead can comfortably accommodate up to 22 guests or 18 guests in separate beds.
Tharah features a large brand new open-plan country-style kitchen with stone bench-tops, stainless steel appliances as well as an impressive country-style oven and cook-top, large enough to cater perfectly for those special family occasions and celebrations! The kitchen flows seamlessly into a large dining area with slow-combustion wood burning fire and breath-taking views over the in-ground pool to the surrounding vineyards and mountains beyond.
With 9 foot ceilings throughout, reverse cycle ducted air-conditioning, 2 over-size lounge areas featuring a double wood-burning fireplace, Tharah is the perfect choice to relax and unwind with your favourite glass of hunter vino!

Place was amazing and looked exactly like pictures which was an absolute relief. The games room was a real hit as was the pool. A few small issues - a lot of wasps nest around the under cover area, some outdoor lights didn’t work, bottom dishwasher drawer was difficult to pull out and we felt like we were going to break it, as well as condiments like oil, salt & pepper were either missing or portions were tiny and someone else’s shorts were left in one of the rooms on arrival. Found it strange we didn’t hear back from staff, despite sending through the above issues after our departure. Would recommend, a great stay if you have a large number of people.
This property is perfect for big families and big groups of friends! Lots of space for activities and great location! Would recommend and stay again!

Great property
We had a great stay at Tharah and the location is excellent for visiting the wineries. The property was exactly as advertised with enough space for everyone and a great play area for the children. The complimentary wine was a nice touch and saved us going out to find something on the arrival night.

We went to Tharah to celebrate 3 of our friends turning 60. The property was magnificient - we loved everything about our stay. The house was immaculant and had everything we could wish for.

This was one of the best accommodations we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. It allowed our family to stay & play together. What we loved a lot was the dining table that allowed our entire family to sit down together for the first time ever. I couldn't recommend Tharah House enough it has everything you could want or need.

Property was really nice and the set up worked for our group.The property maintenance could be improved - most of the fly screens were off the windows. The blinds were all mouldy. And there were rats in the house, they ate our bananas on the main table.
