Wonderful view and great house for a group
Really loved the house. Great location, really worked well for our group of 8. Great policy on early checkin and late checkout. Only thing we found offputting was the number of laminated signs telling us what we could not do. Inability to open up windows and doors and thus having to use aircon was also not as environmentally friendly as it could have been. Other than these two things the house was great!

Rural pleasure
Our group of ten friends spent 3 glorious nights at Araluan. We had a really lovely relaxing time in this well equipped home surrounded by well maintained and manicured lawns. The bedrooms are very comfortable with lovely white linen and soft towels, while the kitchen has everything and more that you would need. The views from inside the house are expansive with the morning sun glistening on the dam. There is plenty to do around the area as well, but not for us as we didn't want to miss one moment enjoying the tennis court and pool at this lovely rural retreat.

My expectations of spending a nice weekend away with a few friends was definitely exceeded by this lovely home down the south coast. The house is absolutely beautiful and the surroundings took our breaths away. Everything was supplied, movies, books, cutlery and cookware. I felt silly bringing all this myself! If you are looking for a nice place to get away from the usual day to day in the city, this is the place to go. Dont worry about packing anything other than clothes, everything is supplied and the markets nearby are great to buy cooking supplies. Thank you Aruluan, look forward to seeing you again!
