With 11 kids aged from 8 to 3 months, we needed someone to stay that had quiet spaces for he babies but plenty of things to do for the toddlers and kids. The property was perfect and everyone had a great time. Looks like this might become an annual event thanks to the wonderful and thoughtful touches by Ric and the team.

Simply outstanding!
We booked BR for some milestone celebrations with our friends and their families over the weekend. The property is situated on a farm with ample place for kids to play with fantastic play areas. A massive sand pit , the kangaroo jumping, the delightful pool and surprise, surprise a small dam with kayaks ! There were even farm animals, a massive outdoor chess board, a fantastic pizza oven and barbie! The game room and the media room were to die for!! The kids were sorted and completely taken care of. As for the adults, we had all the couples sorted in their own honeymoon bedrooms and all kids in 2 big bedrooms. Boys separate, girls separate! The beautiful sun room and the massive dining room were the heart of the common area for us adults. Warm, inviting, clean and modern this property was a huge hit with all young and old. A must stay for a large group, it is indeed one of our best Stayz! Highly recommend. Ric was an absolute gem. Calm, collected and thorough! Felt like he was family. THANK YOU so much for making our special milestones even more special as we were celebrated my husband's 55th, my 50th and our 25th wedding anniversary all in one!!
