Nice clean property. They left biccies out for the dog which was a sweet surprise. Location is beautiful with the sound of a steam near by and morning birds. Would recommend.
The loft was a perfect location for a girls weekend getaway. The house is as cute as can be and the rooms were spotlessly clean. I loved the afternoon visits on the verandah from the friendly rosella's, kookaburra's and king parrots.
Property would be very welcoming to pets, there is a great enclosed back yard. Shops nearby and good bakeries. Stairs may be difficult for elderly. It was a little home away from home. Everything you could possibly need. Lovely welcome and lots of games etc for kids.
the house was beautiful, the scenery was amazing, some snacks, board games, movies and washing supplies were great! only cons were no service and no wifi but would still go back!
The cottage was ok to stay in but to be honest it’s very dated. The couches and cushions have had better days. There was a bad smell- like old cooking oil, when we arrived, even thought the cottage was clean the smell was quite over powering. There was no wifi and no reception which meant the smart TV didn’t work at all. The heater in the living room didn’t work and the DVD player didn’t work ( we were then told to use a blu-ray player). The bedrooms were clean and fresh. We were just disappointed by the living area. The king parrots however were beautiful and we enjoyed feeding the birds.
Our stay was wonderful. The host would respond to any questions immediately. The house was warm, cosy and well maintained. The wildlife were beautiful. We would have loved to stay longer. So peaceful and calming.Thank you .
Fantastic home away from home in a beautiful spot for walking and spending time with family. Highly recommended! A real gem is the Aqueduct trail which is just around the corner from the house.
Felt like a warm hug and decore was very nostalgic to growing up in the 90’s. Very cosy and comforting. The owner is very thoughtful leaving lollipops, bubbles and colouring for the kids as well as a Nintendo 64, toys and board games a plenty.
Overall an excellent stay. Can't think of anything to fault it. The house was accurately represented on the Stayz website and it all went well. My friends were all keen to come back again
Nice overnight stay in Warburton. Large property, didn't even use the upstairs with our family of 3. Short drive into town and has plenty of kitchen utensils.
