Beautiful & spacious
We had a lovely time with our extended family here. The house was beautiful and clean. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The pool is amazing! So much room and perfect to swim laps or just sit on the big step and relax.
Communication from the managers was great from the initial enquiry through to the end of our stay.
We would love to stay again in the future.
Definitely look at booking here if you want some peace and quiet in beautiful surrounds.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was awesome with so many chill out areas that we were not living on top of each other. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was just amazing. Apart from the BBQ being very dirty everything else was immaculate.

Heavenly and peaceful
Our family of four spent the long Easter weekend here with two other families. We were 6 adults and 7 kids in total. We knew that the house was remote but wanted to bring our dog so were happy to stay in the house for the vast majority of the time. We were warmly welcomed by the hosts and then left to our own devices. The house is beautifully situated, surrounded by green and extremely peaceful. Although it rained non-stop on Easter Saturday, the house is so cosy with so many comfy open-plan places to lie and read, chat, eat or sleep that none of us minded! The kitchen and massive dining tables made for wonderful evening meals. The pool area is divine. We used the yoga room for yoga sessions as well as movie afternoons. All in all a great place for a large group as long as you are happy to 'stay home' a lot as there is very little to do nearby. Thanks Lewis and Curt

Amazing property
My extended family and I booked a weekend stay at Yanada during the July holidays to celebrate a milestone birthday. The property ticked all the boxes for us; warm, dry lodgings, beautiful surrounds and lots of space. From the initial enquiry up until the weekend of our stay the owners were fabulous and extremely gracious and accommodating and were prompt with all queries and correspondence.
The second we entered the property it felt incredibly warm and inviting and my family and guests all commented on how relaxed and welcoming the house felt. This was not achieved at the expense of decor and functionality however and the house was well equipped and stocked and we literally had to bring only our consumables. We would love to return in the warmer months and try out the stunning 15m pool.
Would definitely recommend this property as quality lodgings for a large group / family - the only 'negative' experienced this weekend was that the experience was over too quickly. Absolutely loved Yanada... And would be proud to call ourselves Yanadians!

Amazing property!
I booked Yanada for my husband's 30th birthday - there was a group of 14 of us and it still felt like there was plenty of space. All the rooms are spacious and well-decorated, and it's great to have two huge communal areas - upstairs is perfect for sitting around chatting/eating and downstairs has a massive projector (which we used for Singstar!) The veranda along the outside is handy for anyone wanting to escape for a bit of peace and quiet. The new pool is perfect too, and bigger than I expected from seeing the photos. We all had a fantastic time, thanks guys for making it a memorable birthday!

Huge home, great for family get-togethers!
We had a lovely long weekend at Yanada. Plenty of space, well kept and clean.
It was relaxing to get away, enjoy the company of friends and swim in the huge pool. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great friends, good and location!
I'd organised a getaway with close friends to unwind and enjoy each other's company over food and a few bevvys. Yanada was the perfect backdrop for this getaway weekend! Plenty of space for everyone, even with a few extra friends who dropped by for lunch of Saturday!
Thanks to Lewis and Curt for opening up your fantastic rental to us all!
