Fantastic weekend away from the city

Ten of us had a lovely getaway from the city in a modern place with fantastic vistas of the countryside. Lots of bush land nearby to explore and enjoy. Property had everything we required for a relaxing and comfortable weekend. Amazing deck for taking in the sunset and having meals on. No complaints at all.

Great!

Stayed here over the weekend with 7 others, definitely was an experience worth remembering! The place had a few issues upon arrival which were easily resolved by the guidance of the host. Other than those small minor problems the accommodation was still amazing, would definitely rebook for another date not so rainy 😁

Fabulous house, amazing views

Overall this was a great property — the rooms are really spacious, the furniture is lovely, there is room for everyone, Wifi was working, heating and coling worked will, there is even a home theatre room. The are is quiet and peaceful, and the views from the living room are really amazing. A couple of small things let it down: oven difficult to work, and only basic kitchen equipment; and not enough loo paper! (for a house of this quality and price, this was a bit surprising). But the owner responded quickly to query about the oven.

Beautiful home in a great location, central to lots of attractions, with great facilities.

We had our whole family stay, 7 adults and two children. It didn’t feel crowded or cramped. There was lots of things to explore locally and we never felt bored or lost for things to do. The view was sensational and kangaroo spotting was a highlight. It was very kid friendly and the house had great accessibility. Few technical issues with the media room, but otherwise sensational facilities. Lovely kitchen to prepare meals as a family and lovely large dining spaces to share those meals together. Would highly recommend this house as a family holiday destination. My mother in law had an amazing 70th birthday celebration.

Amazing property

We loved our stay! The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. Only downfall i could say was that the bbq was not set up and there was no wifi, other than that the weekend was great.
