About this farm stay rental
The Millet House is a luxury self-contained farmhouse set on the historic property "Melross" in Kangaroo Valley. Situated on 240 acres, Melross is widely considered one of Kangaroo Valley's most beautiful properties. Breathtaking views from the house look out across the hills into the spectacular cliff escarpment that surrounds the entire property. There are so many ways to enjoy your break at The Millet House on Melross - take long walks around the property and down to the river, wander down the country lane to collect some freshly-laid eggs from the chickens, lounge by the swimming pool and enjoy a fresh Espresso Coffee machine, create a feast on the barbeque and enjoy your meal with a glass of local wine, cuddle up by the open fireplace, or just sit back and watch the animals graze and soak up the stunning views from the verandah. There's nothing better than a home-cooked dinner enjoyed outside on the deck gazing at the perfect valley stars. However, they choose to spend their time all our guests at Melross say the same thing: we never want to leave! Only 5 minutes' drive and you are in the charming township of Kangaroo Valley, which features the lively Friendly Inn and a select choice of cafes and restaurants. Please note that there is a 2 Night Minimum Stay. The House You will instantly fall in love with The Millet House on Melross. The architect-designed and interior-decorated house has featured in House & Garden magazine and was also the photographic location for the Margaret Fulton Cookbook. The Millet House has two levels. The top-level features one bedroom with a King-sized bed, ensuite with spa bath, and balcony overlooking the beautiful property. The downstairs level features three bedrooms - two with queen size beds *one of these rooms has a single fold out bed) and one with a double bunk bed (double base, single top) - as well as two bathrooms. We also have a porta cot & Highchair for guests with a baby. The house is perfect for families or a weekend away with friends. For those who enjoy their cooking, the well-equipped, air-conditioned kitchen, including a Aldi Espressi machine. Also featured within this part of the house is a lovely, light-filled dining area and lounge with open fire. The house also features a separate, heated lounge area and LED television. Another feature of the Millet House is its generous balconies and verandahs, perfect for home-cooked meals overlooking the stunning Valley. There is also a 10-metre swimming pool. The pool may be heated with additional costs. Surrounding areas At Melross you will feel as though you have the world to yourself, yet you are only a 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk from the town where you can enjoy browsing the shops and watching the world go by in one of the charming cafes. If you're feeling active, the Valley features a golf course, horse riding trails, tennis courts and canoe hire. Further afield, you can enjoy the township of Berry (only 1/2 hour away) and the scenic beauty of Jervis Bay where you may be lucky enough to spot a dolphin! In the other direction, you can enjoy the majestic falls and two scenic bushwalks at the Fitzroy Falls national park (15 minutes drive).

We had such a great stay, it’s a character filled house with a great pool in a great locations with an epic view. We would have loved the house to be a little bit cleaner. We’re not ‘clean freaks’ or anything, but simple cleaning bugs and things from corners would have been great. Fly screens on all the windows would have also been great, especially in the hot weather.

We enjoyed our stay at Millet house. The house was on a lovely country property with beautiful views every direction and a quick drive into the little town of Kangaroo Valley.
There was lots of room in the house for all our families and the kids loved the pool.
Communication with Terrene and John was easy and they always replied quickly. Check in was easy as well.

Our family goes away together regularly, in total 8 adults. This was by far the most beautiful property we have been to. Plenty of room both in and out of the house. We swam in the pool, played soccer, enjoyed visits from the chickens and cows in the adjoining paddock, had meals and played games together at the AMAZING dining table. A fantastic weekend away.
John and Terrene were perfect hosts, thank you so much!

Millet house is set in a picturesque location with beautiful, well looked after grounds and gorgeous views. The house was much bigger than I had expected with plenty of room for our two families and two dogs. We all enjoyed swimming in the pool, walking around the property and collecting eggs from the chickens. The kitchen was well equiped with everything we needed however the downstairs bathroom, whilst clean, could do with an update. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hi John, we had a great stay on the Melross farm with the family. The views are just amazing and the proximity to Kangaroo Valley and surrounding sights is great. The vibe in the house and the pool are fantastic. The only thing was the 4th room, which was really disappointing. It was very small and stuffy, and no pictures were provided online. We each had our kids stay with us in the rooms, and this room was very tight and uncomfortable. With several pregnant mothers in our group it was also not ideal not to have indoor access to a bathroom. If I were you I would add pictures of the room online and the size and access, if you're going to market this as a 4 bedroom house. Other than that, it was fabulous and we'd love to be back if we require only 3 rooms.
Thanks!

We loved our week at Melross. We were two families with 4 children and a baby and found there was plenty of room, with comfortable beds, magical views and a beautiful pool. Any minor concerns were dealt with quickly by Terrene and John and the kids were even given a ride on John’s four wheeler which was a real treat! Thanks for a wonderful week in the country, we’d love to return one day.

Lovely home in beautiful location. The home is in need of some redecoration/refurbishment with internal paint work looking a little tired, blinds missing from one of the downstairs bedrooms and the downstairs bathroom having an obvious mould problem on the ceiling. For a short dose of serenity though, it is hard to go past this gorgeous and peaceful location just a few minutes from Kangaroo Valley village and an easy drive to either Berry or Bowral through lovely countryside.

Family and Fun
We all loved the pool even through it rain most days. We had the pool heated. The quietness and the beautiful countryside. The big table was great for our family to play our many games on and to enjoy our meals on. We did not turn the tv on once and our two grandsons were of there devices most of the time also our small dog Billie had the best time She did not stop running around the wonderful property and barking at the cows. Thank you John and Terrene. Alan Sue & Family.

It is lovely to stay here. The Valley is magnificent & you get to see the animals. Reminds me of growing up on a farm.
Great if you also have a four legged family member.

New Years 2021/2022
We greatly enjoyed 10 days’ stay at Millet House over the New Year period. John and Terrene were fabulous hosts including a late night drop off of some wine when we ran short with friends who stayed with their children as well for a couple of night.
The place was very uncluttered which helped with very young children. Kitchen and bbq well equipped, plenty of linen and towels. Air conditioning helped with the hot days. Misty mornings were a treat.
The grounds and pool area are immaculate with lovely views of the surrounding escarpments. A picnic by the river is well worth trying out as well. It is a drive into town, but easy to do. There is a lot to see and do in the Valley and surrounding areas.
The children greatly enjoyed walking up to see the cows and horses on the property.
We look forward to going back again for another holiday stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Millet House - we were out and about mountain bike riding, kayaking, bush walking and visiting the beach down South. The house was a great base for our adventures - having the pool to unwind in was amazing, and all in a really beautiful spot. Views from all apects of the house and pool are breathtaking. We had a great break - thanks Terene and John.

Beyond wonderful!
Wow wow wow! From the minute you walk you know Terrene and John put their hearts into this place. Walking into soft jazz music playing as your taken away by the picturesque views is definitely an amazing way to be welcomed!
The house is incredibly spacious and every corner is a relaxing moment. Waking up to the subtle sound of nature; birds chirping and cattle living their best life is an experience of its own. Not to mention picking your own fruit from the trees at the property... That was just a beautiful souvenir to take back home.
We had the opportunity to also visit the Willow Cottage which was simply magnificent. We definitely recommend both properties! 😍
Thank you so very much Terrene and John for your incredible hospitality. We cannot wait to bring our families here again and it was such a pleasure meeting you both! 💗
