Excellent stay for a small family. All of us had a relaxing time, and our boys already want to go back. We had trouble finding the entrance as we didn't receive any information about it through the platform. very clean and had everything we wanted in the house. Hosts are great too.
A wonderful short stay, only regret was that it wasn't longer
Such a great short stay with plenty of access to local sightseeing spots and eateries. I would love to come back soon with friends for a longer stay!Thank you!
A lovely cabin with lovely hosts & plenty of space for everyone to enjoy some peace & quiet in the country!

Mark and Fayanna were fantastic to deal with. The property was absolutely amazing, everything they provided for the stay was outstanding. The beautiful surrounding area of Lake Leschenaultia made the stay even better. I will definitely stay again. Thank you
Lovely place among the trees. Clean and comfortable place with games and dvds for the kids. Short distance to lake, cycle paths, park, skatepark, pub and cafe. Thank you for the great stay.
Mark and Fayana are so friendly and super hosting us. The villa are so clean and well maintained and I would said is one of the best and clean place I ever been to. Fantastic place for getaway with one hour drive from Perth. Highly recommended.
Stayed with a group of friends over the weekend and the property was lovely. The owners were great with communication. The spa on the chilly nights was so relaxing! We would definitely stay again. Thanks Mark and Fayanna for your hospitality.

Property was clean and tidy. Wifi access was poor so you need good local phone plan for overseas visitors. Says it has coffee machine but couldn’t find one.
Well located and cosy villa on a peaceful bush block in Chidlow. One of our better school holiday stays with a well equipped, maintained and very clean home. The loft, spa and broad collection of books and toys was great to entertain the kids (2 under 7) who were able to stay off devices for 4 days!Check-in was easy, with home and grounds being safe and easily accessible. It's clear that Mark and Fay put care and quality into their home.Would happily stay again.
An amazing midweek vacay for my girlfrienss and I
The hosts were accomodating and the home was equipped with everything you need! We will be returning!
Thank you for sharing your lovely abode.
We had such a lovely time staying at Mark and Fayanna's property. The accommodation was prepared beautifully and the spa was warm and ready to go! Communication was perfect leading up to our stay and we got the chance to be welcomed by Fayanna and meet the cute dogs. The location is perfect for exploring. We spent time at Lake Leschenaultia, walked Noble Falls and had a great pub lunch there also. We also took the kids to Mundaring adventure park which was a short drive away. Thanks so much, a much needed getaway for us!
Had a very relaxing time here. Super nice property set amongst the trees. Location is perfect for getting away from the city but being close enough for Perth based family to visit. Very welcoming and helpful hosts.
Great to be able to leave the car and walk to the lake for a swim and a coffee from the kiosk each morning.
Great location comfortable property lovely patio area but could do with improved seating, slight irritation from barking dogs in the surrounding properties, however would stay again if in the area.
Property is nice and impressive decor, clean and well presented. Dogs barking made it hard for us to know if they were loose or not during the ins and out as we can see them from a distance.
The house was at a great location- within 8-10 mins drive of several neighbouring town taverns, shops and the Noble Falls. Short walk to the lake. House was welcoming and clean with pancake mix, milk and goodies on arrival. The fireplace heated the house very well in winter and the hot tub was a highlight for the kids.

He will happily share with you the local mountain biking tracks etc. Fayanna is very family and home focused and enjoys chilling out in the garden. We are both very much into working hard and playing hard and after a good day of work or play we love to relax in our own private spa/ sauna area.
