Mother Earth - rural paradise close to Sydney
About this house rental
Located in Sydney, this lovely house for £235 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Mother Earth is your rural home from home. Comprising of 5 bedrooms (4 of which we let), 2 bathrooms, a huge lounge, a snooker room, an extensive breakfast room and kitchen with all mod cons, a seperate pantry, a sun room and adjacent and updated laundry. This is now a 5 star residence for the executive couple or family getaway given we’ve invested extensively and updated all rooms including painting throughout, new carpets in all rooms, new kitchen ceaserstone bench tops, new ensuites and new curtains in the main lounge and bedrooms. A booking fee covers the master bedroom only as all other bedrooms are locked off unless reserved by paying the additional guest fee. Expansive rural views create an ideal holiday ambiance and the pool, snooker room and golf driving net are designed to suit the avid sportsman. The front garden and side gardens are also fully fenced so pets can roam and the sun room provides an ideal reading area and entrance to a BBQ / entertaining patio. Linen, towells and basic amenities are all provided, albeit at a minor fee per stay, and we are 5 minutes to the Round Corner shops and restaurants and only 45 mins to the harbour bridge. A garage is also close by and within a 5 minute walk for emergencies and it’s typically open until 10pm. However, what makes this property popular is that The Fig Coffee house (2017 winner of the Hills best Cafe) and Mother Earth Nursery are on the same block of land so your morning breakfast and afternoon tea is just a few steps away and its easy to therefore contact me direct (ask for Tim) if you wanted to view beforehand? Pieceful and yet close to both Kenthurst as well as Castle Hill's huge shopping complex, including cinema's, local restaurants and Cafes. Local art galleries and garden centres are within walking distance and it is also close to Rosehill Race course, Castle Hill golf club, local pony clubs, tennis courts, nurseries and nature walks etc to suit both the keen shopper and / or sports person. Mother Earth can be booked for short or long term stays and the bedroom availability is negotiable based on your needs and budget from two to up to ten people. It is also ideal for insurance bookings whilst a house is being repaired or built and the owner is therefore negotiable for longer term rentals. It's also ideal for a wedding / birthday occassion for family and / or friends (refer this u-tube video: https://youtu.be/j4qtlzqJ5kw). Please note that the owner occasionally needs access to the Master bedroom, associated en-suite and walk in robe which are locked off at the bottom of the house and never rented out and only if agreed by the tenant. This has a seperate private entry so it is not intrusive and tenants state they are typically unaware of my rare occupation. I also always sms in advance with aprox arrival and departure times but this is, as stated, always negotiable.

We booked the property as we were getting married nearby. Tim was wonderful to deal with and very accomodating when we mentioned we would have a couple more guests over with our morning tea ceremony. The house is beautiful and spacious. Would recommend if you are getting married in the area or if you want a big enough holiday house for a getaway. Such a delightful stay! Thank you Tim!

Everything good except the rubbish bin was full and the bbq grill was not clean

This had been the worst experience I've had with a host.
Two main issues highlight this:
Check-in was meant to be 2pm however we hadn't received any information up to that day. Starting in the morning we'd attempted to contact Tim to confirm details, however he was unreachable for the entirety of the day. We reached out to Stayz to assist however same with us, they had no luck reaching him.
At around 6pm we'd finally heard back from Tim, with instructions of where the key was located.
On top of this, on arrival there were around 10-15 full garbage bags left at the entry gate by who we assumed was the previous guest group.
We'd notified Tim and requested it be cleared. He replied the following day by saying his contacts are on holiday so instead, asked that our group resolve the issue for a fee.
These two issues are unacceptable and we will not be staying here again.
Unfortunately looking at previous negative reviews, Tim will likely take little responsibility for the poor service and will deflect any wrongdoing.
Outside of this, the house itself was quite good. Extremely close to the local shops and very spacious.

The house was lovely and big. Highlights are the pool table and the pool was great for the children.
Impressed that the place had ducted air.
Things that need to be improved on is the kitchen dishes should always be washed as we found plates with mould on them. General house was clean. Loads of cob webs. Though bbq was mentioned it was needing a really deep scrub. Pool was definitely needing to have creepy crawly put in to pick up muck from bottom of pool. Location was wonderful it had a lovely feel of country but close enough to amenities that it made it feel like you were just enough disconnected. We overall had such a wonderful visit Thank you very much Julie Spellmore

Mini Sydney Staycation
Overall, we really enjoyed our mini staycation at this property located in Kenthurst. Although the property is located in metro Sydney, it felt like a mini getaway outside of Sydney with lots of lush greenery. The location is very ideal for a getaway in Sydney as nearby convenient shops in Castle Hill towers. There is a lovely cafe conveniently next to the property too!
The host was most accommodating and helpful. Loved the artwork throughout the property. It really is a special place for a small group of friends or family.

Spider infested
The property was very dirty and stinky specifically the bedrooms.The kitchen did not have anything to cook with except old and rusty appliances . It looked nothing like the pictures and we had to clean the pool everytime we wanted to swim. We had to deal with waking up 2 days in a row to find multiple large spiders. The communication was poor as the correct key was located in a different place then where we were told. It wasnt until we called up the owner to find that the correct key was in a different location. After becoming fed up of the spiders we asked the owner if a refund was possible as we wanted to leave the house, he didn't even have normal courtesy and apologise for the inconvenience. Instead he claimed we were just looking for a refund of our money. Personally would not recommend this property unless ur willing to clean and deal with all the insects.

We booked a three night stay at this property because it was dog friendly and we were travelling with our small dog. The house itself is lovely. It would have been a perfect stay for us but our 4 kilogram dog went straight through the fencing, which is the type that goes around pools. There is a tall timber fenced yard but unfortunately it joins up with the pool fencing so there was no way of keeping our dog safe. We were very disappointed and left after one night. No dog lover wants to put their dog at risk of being hit by a car or stolen. If you have a dog under 6 kgs and is on the slender side this house is definitely not suitable. We weren’t able to have the two nights refunded although we did get the cleaning fee back as we left the house in pristine condition. I did double check that the property was fully fenced before I booked, but didn’t realise the gaps in the fencing were too wide. I will triple check next time I book a property that’s dog friendly.

Amazing property for the whole family
From the moment we drove through the gates of the property we were delighted, we met the owner Tim, Tim was very welcoming and showed us around and was happy to answer any questions we had about the area and what would be great to do with the kids, the house itself is very big and was very roomy for our family of 2 Adults and 5 Children, the property had all the luxuries required and more some, the beds were comfortable and the house it self was very clean and tidy, the Wifi was a good touch for the children in the evening after a amazing day in the pool and was relaxing in the evening after a game of pool / snooker and watching Movies on Foxtel.
Thanks again Tim, the kids absolutely loved the place. hopefully we will see you in the near future.

A definite home away from home! Excellent location & facilities
A group of us (3) were in town for a conference, and found this property to be perfect, well kept, spacious with decent bedrooms, and it has a true home away from home feel. I highly recommend this property!

Great Stay at Mother Earth
We recently moved to Australia from the United States. After being in a hotel for a month, it was a relief to find this nicely furnished and private residence in a lovely country setting. We stayed here for over a month, enjoyed our stay, and felt comfortable! The kids had a ball using the pool table and searching for lizards. Tim was easy to work with and accomodating to our needs and requests. The internet could be a little slow at times when trying to stream, but overall we had a great experience! We recommend it!
