Not quite what we expected from a 'high end' property
The physical situation of this house is lovely, looking out to native bush and trees with the sound of the river in the distance. The actual house itself is well appointed but we were really disappointed in the state of the kitchen which was not clean and which had an oven with a non-sealing door (which really compromised the Christmas dinner we had advised the owner we were going to be cooking!). For what amounted to close to $1200 a night we didn't expect to have to clean before we cooked.

The outside area is stunning, beautiful decks, outside fireplace and lawn.We hired the venue for a family celebration and it was perfect as there was plenty of space.Very quick responses from the owner and an easy booking process.This property is in a league of it's own in terms of luxury accommodation. Thank you for the fantastic weekend.

Amazing home
Staying here was like staying in a resort. The property was stunning, toasty warm in cooler weather but also amazing outdoor area. The views are phenomenal and we came away totally chilled out. Multiple spaces and screens were great for the teens, loved the fireplaces in and out, and the spa was delightful during the day and cooler nights. Loved our stay here.
