We had a lovely time at this Balnarring home. The house was impeccably fitted out with everything we needed and my kids especially loved playing in the pool and heated spa. Although we had a few issues with one of the toilets and the spa heater, Melissa was quick to respond and fix them for us. She also kindly introduced the kids to the sheep during feeding time which was a big hit! We look forward to returning soon.
We absolutely loved our 3 night stay from the moment we arrived until the morning we had to leave. Such a peaceful, relaxing environment for everyone to enjoy including our beloved dog.From taking walks around the farm or through the bush, to playing tennis and enjoying the pool and spa there was something for everyone.
Whole family birthday celebration - perfect property. Something for everyone, worked perfectly. Beautifully presented on every level. Canāt wait to go back
We had such a fabulous stay at Melissa's farm. The interior of the house was absolutely stunning, the beds were so comfortable and had absolutely everything we could have wanted. It was such a treat to visit the sheep during the day with the kids and walk through the orchard. We were lucky enough to stay over Easter and the kids got to have the best Easter egg hunt throughout the property! We had 3 generations stay and was plenty of room for us and something for everyone. Communicaiton was super quick and couldn't recommend the property enough.
The perfect accomodation for our wedding weekend. It fit us & our wedding party perfectly. Very clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The groomsmen got ready here and the gorgeous property made for very special photos. We will be back!
Bride, bridesmaids and venal family members stayed the night before the wedding. Lots of room to fit us all in and have the hairdressers and make up ladies to get us all ready. Beautiful spaces for photos of the
bride getting dressed especially in the matter bedroom. Then the night of the wedding, few from the night before went off elsewhere, and other family members joined us. It made for a beautiful weekend and wedding. Would highly recommend to other-brides-to-be.
Fabulously renovated house with an abundance of space, inside and out, in a great part of the Peninsula. Melissa was a wonderful and thoughtful host and her house was as described.
