We absolutely enjoyed our girls weekend away at this property, the acerage and gardens are just stunning and serene. Plenty of living space and the outdoor space was perfect! Ready Set Stay were great with their communication, even calling on the day of check-in to ensure we had our instructions and to advise that we could contact them if we had any issues. We would definitely stay here again!

Haven for Extended family gathering.
Spacious property perfect for a large group. The huge outdoor deck and kitchen area was a highlight. It was very tranquil and quiet. The communication with the hosts was easy and they were always quick to reply. We requested a late checkout which was accommodated and easy to organise. It would have been helpful to have some additional instructions on how to use the spa and one of the tvs. Overall we had a lovely time!
