We had a delightful stay in this gorgeous house. It had a peaceful rural outlook and the house itself worked wonderfully, full of welcoming rooms, inviting couches, comfortable bedrooms, excellent kitchen. The small wineries within minutes of the house are wonderful too. Highly recommended.

Comfortable home and pet friendly. We had 8 guests, 2 small dogs all together for our booking and there was plenty of space for everyone! Beautiful scenery as well! This property is also very close to a few beautiful wineries. Had a great weekend! Thank you very much.

We had a great long weekend stay with family and friends. The property is well set up to cater for a mixed group with plenty of space. The location was great - near some lovely boutique wineries and a little out of the hectic Pokolbin area. We appreciated the owner adding a fire pit and our two dogs loved the room to runaround. The beds were good quality and really comfortable and the house was spotlessly clean.

Enjoyed our stay and the property was in a good location close to our wedding venue. Having bathing facilities in Studio 2 would have been preferred as it restricts the number of guests. EV charger not operating was a bit frustrating. Overall still a good property to enjoy the wine area.

Pretty little farmhouse with three bedrooms, decent kitchen and large loungeroom, dining room with lovely valley views. Enclosed balcony makes me wonder how bad the flies might get but you're surrounded by farmland. 2 single studios (one with bathroom but no fridge, one has toilet only and small kitchenette). Very clean and grounds well kept. Pleasant stay.

The Maranda is a great house and the views are fantastic , plenty of room for big families
Unfortunately the check in was not great
While I did receive a phone call to say the house was going to be ready at 3:15pm and that the studios were to be still cleaned due to the previous tenants leaving it In a terrible place we arrived at 3:30pm and did not get into the house until 4:30pm
Studios were not ready until 5:30pm
Water balloons left near the tap were all over the place and spa bath was not clean .. we proceeded to put chemicals in it to make it acceptable..
underneath bed were chocolates and toys ..
Oven also was a bit smoky so would suggest getting someone to look at it
Overall we loved the views and the house was big enough for us and we still had a great time but for the money we paid and to not be settled in until 6pm did put a downer on the the first day
Maranda Country Estate has one of the best backyard views for an accommodation. It's really convenient, equipped with many facilities, with a breathtaking view that will make it difficult for travellers like us to leave the place. I would be really happy to have another chance to rent it again in the future.
