A beautiful place for all ages
This wonderful environment is fabulously well organised and thought through. Although the weather was mixed, the solar heated pool and spa were always warm. The zipline was popular with kids, the gym for those who like exercise, darts, bbq and golf. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable and the kitchen has sharp knives and every piece of equipment you might like and lots of them. Really recommended.

Gorgeous resort-like property catering to all ages and interests
We have had the most wonderful stay in this breathtaking property. The house alone was so spacious that even with 8 adults and 5 children there was always opportunities to find a quiet space if we liked. The pool is incredible and where we spent most of our time but the kids also loved the playground and flying fox. The golf course was a hit with the group too. Thank you for allowing us into this wonderful home and I hope we have the opportunity to stay there again.

Worth every penny
What a privilege it was to stay at Amaroo. Leiza was a wonderful host - very attentive and responsive. The house was even more lovely than in the pictures, and the kitchen was possibly the best-stocked kitchen we've ever experienced after many years of staying in 5 star holiday homes and apartments. The pool was warm, the grounds immaculate, the veggie patch brimming with fresh herbs (and even berries!), the bathrooms sparkling clean, the beds comfy - and the silence at night was golden. Thank you Leiza and family - our week at Amaroo over the new year was the best antidote for a long and difficult 2020. I definitely recommend this property.
