Great stay
The family had a great stay at Highgate. The place was warm and cosy with great bathrooms. There was even a big screen for dad to keep up with sports and the kids to watch their streaming services. A home away from home.
the perfect home for a weekend away to unwind and enjoy spending time with family and friends
so many spaces to relax and soak in the sun and gaze out at the beautiful bush and garden views - the upstairs loft, on the verandah, front porch
the cinema room was great another private space
the home exceeded our expectations, it was fully equipped with everything you could ask
for, we loved every moment of our stay

We had a lovely stay at this beautifully designed property. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. Lots of nooks to read a book and it had a huge television. It was super quiet and absolutely lovely to be surrounded by so many trees. We were asked to bring our own firewood which was fine, but would have been nice to have it supplied given the property was quite expensive. Also a minor comment that the outside needed some maintenance and cleaning. I imagine it must be hard to keep up a property of that size and the skylights and windows would be difficult to clean, so it’s not really a criticism, more something to note for when the weather gets warmer so other guests can enjoy the outside areas.
