The house is dated and in need of maintenance. The master bedroom had a slight damp smell with a squeaky bed and broken, dirty pedestal fan. There were lots of cobwebs inside and outside of the house. Plates in the kitchen were dirty and the kitchen is not well equipped. I will say the location is beautiful however it is overpriced given the age and presentation of the property.

Perfect place to enjoy the wine region

Beautifully appointed house right on the banks of the Wilyabrup Brook, a stones throw from Flutes Restaurant and on the door step of the Wilyabrup wine region. A fantastic place to relax and enjoy everything the region has to offer or enjoy the wood fire and relax at the house.

Peaceful stay

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. The house is located in a very peaceful spot with only wildlife noises to be heard. We especially loved having picnics outside on the lawn overlooking the brook. The house had a great layout and was well suited to our family. We were able to put our baby in the rumpus room at the back away from the noise of the family room where she slept very peacefully!

Our Spring Vacation

We had a lovely stay, the weather was kind and in a lovely location. The house was very comfortable with plenty of puzzles etc to keep us busy on a rainy day. We were surprised of the lack of wildlife though which was a bit disappointing however the flowers were amazing.

Lovely comfortable house

The house was beautiful, comfortable, clean (except for the bbq). Great location, great deck, good kitchen and laundry. It could have done with a larger airer. Small thing but as it rained the whole time we were there and there were 5 of us, the tiny one provided was quite useless. Pillows were quite soft, and no wood in house on arrival, raining, so wet wood outside. Hot water takes a long time to come through in several locations. Shower leaked in 2nd ensuite. All smallish things but still things. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, beautiful to wake up to running stream.

Beautiful, tranquil property!

My husband and I, together with another two couples stayed at your amazing property during July 2017. The property was even better than your online pictures. It so lovely waking up to the kookaburras every morning and looking out on such a beautiful vista of the stream running past the property. It was the most perfect location and all our needs were well and truly met. The house was very clean, with clean crispy sheets. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and the living room was wonderful to relax in and watch a movie at night. Each couple had their very own bathroom and there was even another entertainment area, when someone wanted to watch something different to the others. It was wonderful returning to the property after a day of wine tasting and sightseeing. I have already recommended your property to some of my friends and family and have no hesitation in recommending it to others. We hope to return again sometime soon.
