Great getaway for big groups that is close to all the region has to offer!
Our stay was fabulous. The location is close to everything you might need, whilst remaining quiet and bushy. Beautiful surroundings with lots of local flora and bird life. The house has a fabulous space for two families to share. The kids loved playing pool, tennis and other games at the house. The kitchen and dining is perfect for large groups and the house was amply supplied with all the basics we needed. Thanks for a perfect little getaway!

60th Birthday Celebration
The house itself could do with a little updating re outside furniture. Uneven paving also was a little concerning. The outside furniture in front of the house looked as though it had not been cleaned for some time. The oven inside the house had not been cleaned properly either. For the price we paid for our stay a little disappointing. It was though an experience and as a family we still were able to enjoy the home and the surrounding bushlands.

Great location, with some small issues
We had a pretty good stay during our 4 night stay, and the host was responsive and very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay, the wood fire, well appointed kitchen and being surrounded by nature was great. But the property is starting to show signs of age, the images on stayz would be several years old. *The pool table needs maintenance *lots of unsettled pavers around the property *tired outdoor furniture *hammock and shade sails gone *cheap and poor condition BBQ *no wood for fire supplied
