Overall Great
The ages of our family ranged from 12 months to 70 year old so we needed a place that catered to all of these and this property certainly did, with tennis court, swimming pool playground etc We were well looked after by our host Steve which made our special family weekend away perfect. Highly recommend

Good house/good location.
We had a very enjoyable stay.There were many well equipped games/sports options. If you are Optus customers you should be aware that reception in the house is almost non-existent and the there is no wifi. Some(but not all) of my family enjoyed the break from their on-line life.

Wintersun is an absolute haven
We have just spent 7 days at Wintersun as a family of 4 (2 teenage children) and had one other family stay for some of the week also. The property is huge with a beautiful mature garden and so many peaceful places to sit and rest/read. The house itself is spotlessly clean, and very well equipped. All linen is supplied including beach towels which was great. Beds are comfy and there is plenty of room for 2 families. There is so much to do at the property from tennis to basketball, darts, table tennis and billiards. The pool area is lovely and the outdoor setting divine. The teens never ran out of things to do. It is also a 5 minute walk to my favourite Sorrento front beach which we went to every day. Steve was very helpful and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Wintersun and cannot wait to stay again.

Perfect house with practically everything needed for a holiday home
The house was incredible. Amazing entertaining spaces, the position of the house was great and then facilites were great. All age ranges thoroughly enjoyed... The only thing which was a concern was the fact that the house had no internet/WIFI provided, especially in this climate where working from home is common. Also the no aircon issue was only an issue on the very very hot days. But i am not sure if we were staying in the house for multiple hot days in a row that we would have been so happy with not having aircon. Fans are ok, but for a fantastic house with every other amentiy it was surprising not to have WIFI and Aircon aswell. Besides this, the pool was awesome- the tennis court was well used. Eveything in the house was super easy and functional. The cleanliness of the house was top notch and in general the house is very well maintained. Steve the host is also super helpful and very amenable.

Outstanding in every way!
We had an amazing 10 day break staying at Wintersun! The house had everything you could ask for - tennis, pool, a playground, pool table, dart board, table tennis table and the list goes on. The beds were comfortable, amenities covered everything we could possible need and the kids were well catered for during our stay. Specifically, the pool being able to warm up to >30 degree allowed swimming on all days which was a win. There isn’t anything more we could’ve asked for! Thank you to Steve for his welcoming approach and having us stay in his place.

Stay At the Wintersun
The accommodation our group stayed in was perfect for our fishing trip. Steve himself was very accommodating and informative about the property. All information he provided covered any questions we could of possibly had. The house itself was perfect having plenty of activities for everyone to do outside of relaxing. The bbq facility was great and the coffee machine was a bonus for us in the mornings. Overall I highly rate our stay A+++ and would happily recommend Steve and the Wintersun property to anyone looking to stay in Sorrento.

The pictures don’t do it justice
We stayed at the property for a week over Christmas, we had a fantastic time. The property is amazing and great for 2 families. I was concerned there was no air conditioning, but it is not needed at all - the house was nice and cool even on hot days. Will happily stay again.

Fantastic property for family holiday
We all loved staying at this great property. The facilities were excellent. The pool, tennis court, pool table and table tennis were well used for family competitions. The house was so big that we all still felt we had a space to ourselves when needed. Recommend for small family groups.

Amazing property
We throughly enjoyed our stay at this amazing property. It has everything you need and it has a very 'tranquil' and 'calming' feel about it. The facilities are luxurious and you certainly feel like you don't need to go anywhere else. All the rooms were clean and the kitchen, meals and central entertaining area are very big which provides a fantastic facility for large or small groups. I would highly recommend Wintersun and will definitely be returning.

Excellent Property
I got married on the 18th of March, 2016 so we hired this holiday house for the bridal party to stay at for 3 nights. This house was perfect for the occasion. My wedding day was wet weather and very windy. The photographer and videographer loved how their were so many photo spots around the inside & outside of the property. The house is very spacious with so many activities. It's impossible to get bored. At one stage people were playing tennis, pool, basketball, table tennis & swimming in the pool. Despite the cold weather over our stay, we were able to relax in the pool everyday thanks to the gas heating making the pool similar to a swim-spa. Thanks Steve, We would love to return.

Everything was amazing, highly recommened
There really is nothing anyone could complain about with this property - fantastic facilities, heaps of space, great location. The only problem was that we weren't able to stay for longer! I guess one little thing would be the lack of air-conditioning, which, depending on when you were there could be a problem. We stayed there for 3 days with temps ranging from 22 - 30 degrees, we didn't really notice the heat though because the placement of the property allows for the cool breeze to flow into it. The hidden tennis table was a welcome surprise (it wasn't in the ad) and the tennis court provided ample opportunities for games of tennis and basketball just don't hit too hard or you'll lose all your balls over the fence!

We loved our stay at Wintersun! What a beautiful property! It has such a warm welcoming feel to it, everyone in our group loved it! We were sad to leave after spending the weekend with friends there for my husband's 30th birthday however we certainly plan to return again in the future! Even staying in the middle of winter, we loved the entire property!!

Home away from home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wintersun. The property is spacious and bright and was toasty warm in the middle of Winter. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need. Pool table kept the kids entertained while the adults sat by the open fire. Quality sound equipment and TVs added that extra touch.
