Home away from home
Our daughter’s wedding was in the southern highlands and we wanted a home for our family to stay in, for her to get ready and then for us all to be together - as if it were our own family home. This beautiful home was absolutely everything we had hoped for. It provided fabulous bedrooms with extremely comfortable beds and beautiful linen, two wonderful bathrooms stocked with necessities, a fantastic kitchen with loads of crockery, cutlery etc and a few special treats as well. We were doing the flowers for the wedding and the space was wonderful for all the prep. Two huge comfortable sitting areas, plenty of parking and super quiet. Anne was a truly wonderful, communicative and accommodating host. We will definitely stay at Kerrisdale again whenever we visit the southern highlands and will definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a large family home. Thank you Anne for sharing your beautiful home. We loved every minute.

Fantastic
The property was wonderful. I went with my daughter, 2 daughter-in-laws and 2 adult granddaughters. We loved our stay, we loved the house, we loved the garden. We cooked both nights (which was easy in the expansive kitchen) because we just wanted to enjoy the ambience of the home. A perfect weekend.

Our stay at Kerrisdale was perfect. It is a beautiful home within large grounds, spacious, perfectly styled and very comfortable. It provided all amenities and is walking distance to town and short drive to many local attractions. Communication with the host was fantastic and I would highly recommend a stay at this property.
