We really enjoyed our stay at the Pear Orchard Lodge. The place is beautifully set up and thought has been given to what guests will need. We had the whole lodge booked for a family get-together, and it was fantastic to have room for everyone and no 'dud' bedrooms. The kitchen is well set up for catering to a large group, without ever feeling like you are on top of each other, and it was nice to have the large dining table and a serving table. One thing that we agreed would have made it perfect was a comfortable lounge space (particularly for the day we were 'rained in'), but nonetheless it suited us very well. Would definitely recommend.
Right from the beginning of the driveway, we were impressed with the property and its well established planting. We fell for the grounds surrounding the house. They are just so beautiful.
The house interior was more appealing and vibrant than the photos show. The beds and lounge suite were very comfortable, with the bathrooms and laundry also operational and presented well. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, linen and some food, coffee, tea, and sugar and with the hot water already on.
We recommend a couple of very minor repairs. The stove wall switch, the ensuite toilet seat rubber supports, and the flusher on the family toilet sometimes gets dislodged inside the tank.
These did not detract from our most wonderful stay. We were happy to sweep, mop, vacuum and clean at the end, and keep the worm farm well fed. Thank you.
We were unaware of any communication with the property manager, but accessing everything we needed and the house being so well prepared and welcoming is communication.
Everything we needed for a short stay, river views and handy to nearby reserves. Comfortable bed, great shower and heat pump.Definitely no traffic noise and great view of the night sky.
