About this property

Melross - Millet House


The Millet House is a luxury self-contained farmhouse set on the historic property "Melross" in Kangaroo Valley. Situated on 240 acres, Melross is widely considered one of Kangaroo Valley's most beautiful properties. Breathtaking views from the house look out across the hills into the spectacular cliff escarpment that surrounds the entire property.

There are so many ways to enjoy your break at The Millet House on Melross - take long walks around the property and down to the river, wander down the country lane to collect some freshly-laid eggs from the chickens, lounge by the swimming pool and enjoy a fresh Espresso Coffee machine, create a feast on the barbeque and enjoy your meal with a glass of local wine, cuddle up by the open fireplace, or just sit back and watch the animals graze and soak up the stunning views from the verandah. There's nothing better than a home-cooked dinner enjoyed outside on the deck gazing at the perfect valley stars.

However, they choose to spend their time all our guests at Melross say the same thing: we never want to leave!

Only 5 minutes' drive and you are in the charming township of Kangaroo Valley, which features the lively Friendly Inn and a select choice of cafes and restaurants.

Please note that there is a 2 Night Minimum Stay.

The House

You will instantly fall in love with The Millet House on Melross. The architect-designed and interior-decorated house has featured in House & Garden magazine and was also the photographic location for the Margaret Fulton Cookbook.

The Millet House has two levels. The top-level features one bedroom with a King-sized bed, ensuite with spa bath, and balcony overlooking the beautiful property. The downstairs level features three bedrooms - two with queen size beds *one of these rooms has a single fold out bed) and one with a double bunk bed (double base, single top) - as well as two bathrooms. We also have a porta cot & Highchair for guests with a baby. The house is perfect for families or a weekend away with friends.

For those who enjoy their cooking, the well-equipped, air-conditioned kitchen, including a Aldi Espressi machine. Also featured within this part of the house is a lovely, light-filled dining area and lounge with open fire. The house also features a separate, heated lounge area and LED television.

Another feature of the Millet House is its generous balconies and verandahs, perfect for home-cooked meals overlooking the stunning Valley.

There is also a 10-metre swimming pool. The pool may be heated with additional costs.

Surrounding areas

At Melross you will feel as though you have the world to yourself, yet you are only a 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk from the town where you can enjoy browsing the shops and watching the world go by in one of the charming cafes.

If you're feeling active, the Valley features a golf course, horse riding trails, tennis courts and canoe hire. Further afield, you can enjoy the township of Berry (only 1/2 hour away) and the scenic beauty of Jervis Bay where you may be lucky enough to spot a dolphin! In the other direction, you can enjoy the majestic falls and two scenic bushwalks at the Fitzroy Falls national park (15 minutes drive).

Nice and quiet
Beautiful place lacking essentials like washing detergent, sponges etc a lot of lights didn’t work. Would have been nice if there were fly screens as the flys were terrible. The place was nice but we were disappointed

Family Christmas
My family travelled from Newcastle and South West Rocks to spend three nights with me Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day and we had an absolutely wonderful time. Millet house had everything we needed and that is saying a lot since my sister is a chef. The views were spectacular and sunrises were amazing. The hosts gave us an early check in and an extra nights accommodation. Beautiful property and my son was definitely interested in the wedding venue. Will definitely be back. Thanks for helping my family make some new memories.

A magical weekend and forever memories
I am nearly a year late writing this review but think about our time at the Millet House nearly every day. I enjoyed a magical weekend here with family and friends to celebrate my birthday last October. We also booked one of the other smaller cottages to host additional family members who travelled from interstate. Both properties had all the amenities you could ask for, with charm and character to match. The view and surroundings are absolutely spectacular and hard to put into words. It's one of those places where forever wouldn't have felt long enough. We had perfect weather but enjoyed the fireplace at night. The bedrooms were so comfortable and can easily accommodate a large family. There was a collective promise that this property would be somewhere we'd travel to again to enjoy quality time as a family, and I hope to make that a reality. Lauren

Great time, great view
We had such a great stay, it’s a character filled house with a great pool in a great locations with an epic view. We would have loved the house to be a little bit cleaner. We’re not ‘clean freaks’ or anything, but simple cleaning bugs and things from corners would have been great. Fly screens on all the windows would have also been great, especially in the hot weather.

Good place for a group.
We enjoyed our stay at Millet house. The house was on a lovely country property with beautiful views every direction and a quick drive into the little town of Kangaroo Valley. There was lots of room in the house for all our families and the kids loved the pool. Communication with Terrene and John was easy and they always replied quickly. Check in was easy as well.

Amazing stay
The property is everything I read on the reviews and more. The relaxing feeling of the views in the morning is hard to describe. The house is perfect for family time together but also offers privacy for rest. Very clean and comfortable beds and a well supplied kitchen. The gardens and overall green is very well kept. We will be back.

Family gathering
Our family goes away together regularly, in total 8 adults. This was by far the most beautiful property we have been to. Plenty of room both in and out of the house. We swam in the pool, played soccer, enjoyed visits from the chickens and cows in the adjoining paddock, had meals and played games together at the AMAZING dining table. A fantastic weekend away. John and Terrene were perfect hosts, thank you so much!

Great stay at Millet House
Millet house is set in a picturesque location with beautiful, well looked after grounds and gorgeous views. The house was much bigger than I had expected with plenty of room for our two families and two dogs. We all enjoyed swimming in the pool, walking around the property and collecting eggs from the chickens. The kitchen was well equiped with everything we needed however the downstairs bathroom, whilst clean, could do with an update. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

First week of Jan - Family Holiday
Hi John, we had a great stay on the Melross farm with the family. The views are just amazing and the proximity to Kangaroo Valley and surrounding sights is great. The vibe in the house and the pool are fantastic. The only thing was the 4th room, which was really disappointing. It was very small and stuffy, and no pictures were provided online. We each had our kids stay with us in the rooms, and this room was very tight and uncomfortable. With several pregnant mothers in our group it was also not ideal not to have indoor access to a bathroom. If I were you I would add pictures of the room online and the size and access, if you're going to market this as a 4 bedroom house. Other than that, it was fabulous and we'd love to be back if we require only 3 rooms. Thanks!

Incredible country destination.
We loved our week at Melross. We were two families with 4 children and a baby and found there was plenty of room, with comfortable beds, magical views and a beautiful pool. Any minor concerns were dealt with quickly by Terrene and John and the kids were even given a ride on John’s four wheeler which was a real treat! Thanks for a wonderful week in the country, we’d love to return one day.
