We were a 3 generation family group, 2-74years who each found spaces that we really enjoyed, not a small achievement One suggestion is that the large dinner plates do not really fit in the dishwasher, and there weren’t enough bowls for our cereal eating crew. Small details really.We are very grateful to stay together in a way that allowed lots of going apart and meeting up again. The location is great.

The house is absolutely sensational, the owner has literally thought of every detail for adults and kids alike! Great for large families. The kitchen was absolutely sensational! The kitchen was missing sharp knives, and the owner promptly replaced the missing knives! There is a pool attached to the spa, but it is cold, and not cleaned as frequently as the main pool. Under the beds had not been cleaned, but everything else was absolutely perfect and well thought out!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We're so glad you found the house was well-appointed and met the needs of the adults and the kids. The pool and spa are not heated, and in the early springtime the neighbouring trees tend to drop a lot of pollen-like bits into the pool which is a challenge to keep on top of. Thank you for bringing it to our attention though, as well as those spots under the bed! We'll be sure to give these areas closer attention in future :)

We stayed at this property for 4 nights and overall had a comfortable experience. The house was spacious, clean, and well-located, with easy access to nearby shops and amenities, which made our stay very convenient.However, there were a few maintenance issues that need attention. The door leading into the rooms from the garage wouldn’t lock, and we ended up having to fix it ourselves so we could keep our stuff safe. We also had to replace some light globes during our stay, which shouldn’t really fall on guests.We were also a bit uncomfortable with the owner’s visits. While a message was sent about checking the pool, it arrived after they had already turned up, and they didn’t wait for a response before turning up. Additionally, another person came to fix the pool on the morning we were leaving. Better communication and respect for guest privacy would have been appreciated.Aside from these issues, we did enjoy our stay. With a few improvements in maintenance and communication, this property could be a great place to stay.

Thank you for your review and for choosing to stay at The Grand on Macquarie—we’re really pleased to hear you found the home spacious, clean, and well located, and that you had an overall comfortable stay. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you mentioned. Had we been made aware of the door lock during your stay, we would have arranged for our maintenance team to attend promptly, as guest safety and security are very important to us. Similarly, there are spare light globes and supplies kept in the laundry cupboard for convenience, and we’re always just a message away to assist with anything like this. In relation to the pool, we do our best to maintain it to a high standard for all guests. We reached out via both the booking platform and text prior to attending but didn’t receive a response for several hours. As we had incoming guests the day of your departure, we needed to ensure the pool was in optimal condition, so we attended the property and knocked to request access. We certainly aim to respect our guests’ privacy at all times while also balancing the upkeep required to deliver a great experience for every stay. We appreciate your feedback and will continue refining our communication and processes. Thank you again for your stay—we’re glad you enjoyed the property overall and hope to welcome you again in the future.

Great property/residence for family/friend get together. Kids kept amused with the various toys/games/pool that are available. Adults made good use of gym and BBQ area. Perfect indoor entertaining with massive fully equipped kitchen, dining area and tv room. All parties had individual rooms and plenty of space in any of the 3 living areas to ensure there was enough quiet space if needed. Highly recommend the hosts and property.

Amazing weekend!

It was our first time in Dubbo, but it felt like we lived there for awhile. Access to the house was easily communicated by the owner, smooth check in! The location of the house was excellent, near to all shops needed and very much accessible to Taronga Zoo - Dubbo. The house felt so homey, very clean, enough space for all of us! All bedrooms were comfortable, bathrooms were clean too! Well maintain and Not to mention all the toiletries that are available for our use, i fell inlove with the scent of kakadu apple! The kitchen was so big! We actually spent a lot of time in the kitchen during our stay, cooking and just enjoying our family togetherness. All in all it was an amazing stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kate

Host profile image
I've lived in Dubbo since 2010 and I love hosting visitors to the region! It's such a fantastic spot to live and visit.

Why they chose this property

There are many things I love about the place, like going to CrossFit Dubbo, walking/running/riding around the Macquarie River, eating out at many of the cafes, restaurants and pubs, heading to the theatre for a comedy show, checking out what's new at the art gallery, picnicking at the Japanese Gardens and taking the kids to the Dubbo Aquatic Leisure Centre, Inflatable World and the Adventure Playground

What makes this property unique

The best thing about our house is it's size and the fact that it was our family home, and we left it exactly how we lived in it! Meaning it's comfortable and spacious and homey with quality furniture, fixtures and fittings throughout. We did upgrade a few things once we moved out, such as fitting 6 of the 7 bedrooms with TVs!

The size of the property is so great for groups of families or friends coming together to holiday or catch up in a central location. With 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 3
living rooms, everyone can have their own space, and then come together in any of the indoor or outdoor living areas.

And when in Dubbo, you can't be without a pool! The spa is a great bonus :)
