The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish
Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys
If possible, could you please put one load of towels on to wash, it will only take a few minutes but really helps us as the cleaner doesn't always arrive dead on checkout time.
Please let me know if anything has been broken or is not working so I can get it fixed or replaced before the next guests arrive.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

It is a lovely house for a large family to share.The spa was a hit and the theatre room got frequent use.Plenty of room to find your own quiet space if needed.Close to the stunning Yarra Valley and it's little gems, villages, cafes, national parks, waterfalls etc.Would definitely choose this property again.Richard was very quick to reply and addressed all of our needs.
Wonderful place to stay any time of year. The hot tub is a huge asset.. and the cinema room!Very responsive host too. No complaints. I hope to be back again some day!
We had an amazing time at the property! The movie theatre was phenomenal and we had a lovely time using the jacuzzi, the large kitchen and the living areas. The manager was very responsive when we had an issue with water, power and using the dryer. Highly recommend!
Unfortunately we all couldn’t make it due to a couple of emergencies but the 8 that went absolutely loved it. We will book again so we can all enjoy it!
We stayed at this property over 2 days for our son's wedding In Kallista. The house was fantastic for a family celebration and with all the bedrooms, catered for our specific needs. We were able to use all the amenities including the theatre room and spa. Communication with the host was excellent and instructions easy to follow. Great atmosphere, location and surroundings. We really appreciated the complimentary champagne and flowers, a very thoughtful touch.Thankyou Richard, we would stay here again and recommend this property for any occasion.
Excellent property, perfect for our extended family
We all had a lovely time. The property really is amazing. All was good apart from we were surprised there wasn't a BBQ (we didn't check before we took our meat up there with us!) and the bedrooms upstairs were very hot (it was 38' while we were there) and the beds in the bunkbed room were not comfortable - but all the others were great. Coffee machine wasn't working and we couldn't get the steam oven to work either, but the kitchen was great apart from that. We had a really good time - the property exceeded expectations
Ashley,
Thanks for staying with us, I am glad you liked our house.
