We really appreciated the accommodation, as it offers enough space for a large group (there were 12 of us) and provides spacious common rooms with various amenities. We were able to hold our seminar very successfully in this environment. Thank you very much!

Very good property for an extended family holiday.

We spent four nights over the Labor Day weekend, with our three adult children and their partners and our 5 grandchildren. This big rambling place was perfect for us.

Family stay

The property had some great spaces, maintenance is greatly needed and more cleaning is required. Good location.If you want clean and maintained this is not for you, most things needed are provided but not really enough for 17 people.

Quality Holiday home

The house was very large and accommodated 15 guests very comfortably. My friends and I had the best time staying on this property and would definitely consider coming back for another holiday. Had everything that we needed to make our stay very enjoyable and was such an amazing house to get away in. Only a few things in the house that needs updating but other than that 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Accomodation with huge rooms to make a program together with up to 17 persons

We spent one week for a retreat with volunteers. Each day we had some program and could therefore use the big room on the ground floor. The accommodation is also very suitable for large groups of around 15 adults. There are plenty of seating and dining areas, cutlery and storage facilities for food.

There is only 2 out of 4 hot plates working on the stove and 1 sealing light out in the kitchen. The down stairs bathroom was un -usable as the whole floor flooded when having a shower and the sink filled with water when brushing teeth and stayed that way for a long time before going down. I think the pipe work is blocked up in that bathroom and will need looking at asap, so we had to mop it up and did not use again. There was areas of needed of maintenance , but the stay was a good experience for all of us. It needs a maintenance man to go through it though . Thank you :)

Family fun

This property is great for family wanting to stay together, the entrainment room down stairs was a lot of fun! However it wasn’t very clean, mattresses are stained! Lots of things broken or not usable like the iron that has corroded and the ironing board . They have a great collection Dvd’s but the dvd player is broken.. The dryer door was not on and my husband had to try to fix this as we had to wash all the lounge covers and bed protectors..which was not appreciated after a 10hour drive to get there! These are things that I hope the owners look into. It dosnt have to be the best of things but being clean is a must! I didn’t appreciate having to sleep on stained mattress! If this place was clean, all round and items either replaced or fixed I would give it a five star! The location and the size was awesome!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Donna, we greatly appreciate it. We wish you had contacted us during your stay as we would have immediately sent a cleaner to rectify any issues. This home consistently gets good reviews and the cleaning is often scored 100%. Still, to ensure we keep the quality high, we have now arranged a deep clean of the home and hope to see you again some time soon.

Family weekend away

This property is exactly how it is represented in the photos, we had a great weekend, plenty of space for 8 adults and 3 children and a great games room, plenty of toys for the children as well. Everyone had their own room, there was a portacot and a high chair for my grandson, property was clean. The only down was there was no dishwasher tablets and not enough toilet paper. I would absoultely recommend this property for large groups.

A great place for a large family and pets

Great house, especially loved the games room and the pet friendly yard. It could have been a bit cleaner when we arrived but the essentials were good e.g. bathrooms, toilets. Great deck and BBQ. Lots of fun was had.

Alright

The stay here was okay, the cleanliness is what let it down. The places needs a good scrub and a but of TLC. There's old rusty towel racks and sticky floors etc. The pool and ping pong tables made for good entertainment though.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments Marie. We've inspected the home and agree that the home was in need of a deep 'spring clean' following the very busy period we've had since travel was opened up. We have got that happening now so hope that the home is much fresher for future groups.
