After we found the right road (there was no road sign at the start of the road) and negotiated the steep drive we found a very pleasant and well-appointed property. It had everything you need for group or family holiday. There are some repairs needed in the downstairs bathroom, but everything worked well. We were an older group of men and had plenty to do and a family group would find even more.

Couple of feedback comments - would be great if there was body wash provided and extra toilet paper. Some towels might need a few washes. They were dry but the ones that felt wet when you used them. We were down for a family wedding so did not spend a great deal of time at the property.

Great location although the driveway is quite steep to get out off. The pool table and games were much appreciated and the property was large enough to have everyone together or to have their own space. Well equipped kitchen and large dinning table. Excellent communication from Annette, the property manager.

Excellent location and well set up property for a family with small kids - especially one travelling light (ie from rural Australia for us). Plenty to keep the kids occupied when the weather wasn’t on our side and lots to explore nearby when it was. Would also be great for multiple families/larger groups - would recommended fighting for the main bedroom upstairs! Great view and super comfy super huge bed

This house is just perfect for big groups . We were 6 mums getting away for the weekend plenty of space . The bird sounds , view out the kitchen window ( ever changing mountain backdrop ) the view from the front lawn while sipping on wine and the sun setting . Very comfortable beds and decent couches in the lounge room ( a lot of places have crappy uncomfortable couches ) these were great . I really could have stayed longer . Very helpful host . You have a wonderful house

The house was well set up for extended family with grandparents upstairs & young children & their parents downstairs. Great toys for the kids and just enough outside to keep them very happy. Thrilled that towels for the beach were also available. Stunning views from the upstairs deck. Great place for sundowners. House comfortable and relaxed with great provision of staples.

Arrival in dark very difficult, very steep access road down to house, definitely helps having the house location notes which we hadn't received unfortunately. Need to know in advance that a house alarm exists and what code is which we hadn't received). Otherwise a nice quiet location with bird song in the morning. Would be nice in summer on deck I imagine. Owner very apologetic for not sending information sheet due to illness.

The property was perfect for a large group of us celebrating my mothers 80th. Worked fine but furnishings and interior a bit tired. A couple of the chairs around dining table were broken. Photos make it look a bit less tired than it really is. Still was fine for what we wanted
