Perfect family getaway
Jane responded to all messages promptly and the correspondence and directions given for access were spot on. The classic country house was beautiful located and over sized family style furnishings were good quality and lended to a warm, humble appeal. The pool table was at first a hit with the 2 teens but eventually brought the whole family together. The beds were comfortable and kitchen and bathrooms immaculately clean. The weather had just begun to turn and fog set in so didn’t get to enjoy the views of the countryside as much as we’d have liked. The cattle grazing on the pastures nearby were a welcome sight and every single window on the property looked out to a spectacular landscape. The gorgeous high street of Robertson was also a highlight. We’d definitely return and would highly recommend this property to a large group of friends or family for a weekend away.

Total spacious relaxation
Our group of 7 ladies who once worked together had a wonderful relaxing 3 nights stay at the beautiful Madison Park Robertson. The house was far better than expected, cleanliness was outstanding. Facilities and amenities outstanding. Location is excellent for privacy with an amazing country vista. An added bonus on one evening was a brilliant sunset. Communication with owner was prompt and clear at all times. All adult beds are very comfortable. The placement of extra rugs in living areas a thoughtful welcome on cool evenings. Thank you once again. We will be highly recommending Madison Park to family and friends.

Fabulous weekend for family time
We were blown away by the gorgeous views from the generous windows at Madison Park. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets and star gazing. It was a windy weekend so we spent a lot of time indoors and enjoyed the fire place and spacious living areas. The property has lots of great boardgames and movie options and one of our group particularly loved the pool table. We found the beds very comfortable and as most bedrooms have their own ensuite it was perfect for our multi-generation group. The kids had fun feeding the chooks and we were thrilled to see a wombat during our stay. We all would like to visit again!

Unforgettable experience in this gorgeous house!
We had a very high expectation from the online listing, yet it still exceeded our expectations, it's unbelievable! The house is located at the top of the mountain with its own farm and forest. Stepping out of the door you are immersed by the most beautiful mountain view immediately, which can also be enjoyed indoors from any of those large windows. The inside of the house is just as good as outside, everything is perfect! We were completely spoiled by this gorgeous house, and ended up spending as much time as we can in the house. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone, it's the best house we've ever stayed in!

Magic
Madison Park is a grand country retreat in a bucolic rural setting. The serene outlook of rolling hills, paddocks and patches of rainforest is magical. This is a well maintained and well equipped quality property with four comfy, properly clean ensuite rooms and a kids room and extra toilet - the perfect balance of privacy and vast living spaces for togetherness. The pool table provided so much fun when the misty rain rolled in. It's a short drive to the spectacular Carrington and Belmore Falls. It's hard to fault this quality home - a tiny maintenance niggle and no shampoo is all. Overall, our family group had a wonderful, refreshing break at Madison Park and highly recommend it.

Fabulous Christmas stay
We had a fabulous stay for 4 days over Christmas. The house was fabulous and loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The views are spectacular. So much room and beautiful verandahs all round the house. Kids loved collecting the egg. Highly recommend this property and again - did I mention the views.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Baré

Host profile image
My husband and I have loved the Southern Highlands since we began visiting the area in 2006. We always had a soft spot for Robertson and when we found Madison Park, we knew straightaway it was the place for us. With fertile soil and acres of rainforest, it's a property where we can run cattle and enjoy walks through the rainforest.

Why they chose this property

The rich lushness of the Robertson countryside is like nowhere else in the Southern Highlands. Madison Park is located in the heart of this beautiful area and has 5 acres of the rare original Robertson rainforest. It is also in a great location for good coffee, cafes, bakery, butcher, fruit & veg and grocery stores, being only 2 mins drive from the village of Robertson.

What makes this property unique

The beautiful home has been designed to enjoy the stunning countryside from the living areas. Guests can enjoy the view either inside or outside on the wrap around verandahs. You can cook and prepare meals in the large gourmet kitchen on granite bench tops with all mod cons.
Each sound proof bedroom has it's own bathroom and the north wing can be closed off from the rest of the house, providing further privacy.
