Good getaway for multi-family groups
Great location with private block, large house with ensuites to all bedrooms and plenty of living areas. Nice big kitchen and 2 fridges. Enjoyed using the pool and tennis court. However the property is getting a little old and tired and in need of maintenance here and there.

What an amazing house and location for a weekend away
Had a friends reunion at this fabulous house. So great that each bedroom has a bathroom. So much space for everyone and set in a gorgeous location. Highly recommend a sports day on the tennis courts using the sports equipment there. A lot of fun!!

Family holiday ,
We had a very enjoyable stay, made all the better by the new renovations. The new kitchen, dinning area is very well planned. Upstairs the wooden floors make a big difference. It’s an old house and the bathrooms, could do with a few hanging hooks in the showers. As could the bedrooms. Mel the property manager made our stay very pleasant .

An amazing house for large groups
The house was perfect! We were 19 people and it was incredibly comfortable for sleeping, eating and enjoying. There is plenty of plates and cutlery etc which I know can be tricky sometimes with such big groups. The house was secluded, surrounded by trees and with plenty of space to enjoy. The tennis court and pool are awesome, even in the winter the cold plunge was refreshing! Would absolutely recommend this house and the team that run it are lovely and super helpful. Went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after and had everything we needed. Thanks!

Broken
Super disappointed by the state of this property. While we had an enjoyable time, the state of the property cannot be described as anything except dismal (& dangerous). Black mould on the roof and in various places, the roof in the outside dining area is literally falling down, a timber beam without any support could have badly injured someone. The bins were already full to the brim when we arrived so we had to spend time ensuring our rubbish was tidy enough to leave. The cane chair by the pool was so wonky and unstable. A massive dog poo right at the front of the house that one guest was unlucky enough to step on as she arrived. The roof of the pool was broken and the grass hadn’t been mown, but I did receive a message on the day of our arrival to explain that planned maintenance had been rescheduled. Spending even just a few hundred dollars on the property could make a huge difference. Communication and check in instructions were great, but the actual property is nothing like the photos, it is very old and unkept.

It would’ve been a great stay if a bit more effort was put on cleaning. A part of that, it was a great location.

Fantastic property!
The property was dated but very clean and great facilities. Plenty of space for large groups, tennis court and pool are fantastic additions. Only downside is the pool is not heated. Owner is great to communicate with and extremely responsive.

Great covered pool and covered eating area
We had our very large family stay and we had a great time. The covered pool was great and the kids spent a lot time in the pool while we relaxed and watched. There is an awesome covered eating area so the whole family could sit and eat together. We have many games of tennis and one on one basketball. The house is starting to show it's age but having a bathroom off every bedroom is great. Just remember to put the late nighters in the room downstairs as that is the only toilet on the ground floor. Overall the location is great and wonderful for a large family particularly if you have kids.
