Great family holiday, everything you need to gather as a family.
Great getting together as family. Fantastic set up being able to gather as a family but also big enough to find a quiet place and enjoy the surroundings for yourself. Secure enough to let kids adventure around. Great kitchen big enough to able to gather around a cook together. Loved it.

A very cosy stay
We had a really good time here. The accommodation was very spacious for a group of 17 people and plenty of our door room as well. Some of the lights or door hinges appeared to be broken, and the toilet locks don't seem to lock properly. However, I reckon providing some shower amenities would go along way to making the accommodation feel more complete.

Perfect for a large group
Our group had a lovely time here and it was perfect for our needs to accomodate several young families in the same bedroom etc. There was plenty of space for everyone without anyone feeling like they were on top of others. The kids’ games room was an excellent bonus and kept the young (and old!) well entertained.

The best large group accomodation
This was the second stay at this property. The house was speck clean. The best features of this property were large meal area, specious (we were 30 people), swimming pool, wood fire pizza oven(wood and shovel was supplied). There was ample space for food storage with huge, new, modern fridge and Huge freezer and pantry. Linen was clean and beds were done to professional standard. The communication was smooth. All the questions, doubts were cleared with open communication. Our group is planning third visit next year. Each one of us was happy and had wonderful time together at this beautiful property.

Perfect large family home
It was perfect was able to accomodate to our large family the pool was a bonus. With everything so open we felt there was heaps of room without everyone stepping on each other. Only downfall there was no air cons in the downstairs bedroom so got very hot in there. Besides that great. Thank you for a great stay
