It's not often a house is so well set up for families with children! There are bunk beds, bean bags, X-box, PlayStation3, a games retreat and separate kids loft/tv retreat, not to mention a large, fenced garden and a playground for the kids.

For the grown-ups, an outdoor spa with overhead heating on the deck, a magnificent kitchen in which to cook and entertain, an essential Nespresso machine, a study nook, and a relaxing lounge with open fireplace. All ages can come together to toast marshmallows over the fire-pit under the quiet, star-filled, country night skies.

The flexible bed configuration is ideal for 3-4 families. Each of the upstairs, downstairs and studio areas have a king or queen bed plus additional bedding ideal for children. Each area also has its own bathroom; 3 in all, including a large freestanding bath downstairs.

There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas. It is a short 1.7 km/20-minute walk or drive into the village for the deli, bakery, butcher, cafe and restaurants, bike shop, cute gift shops and railway station. The Glow Worm Glen and Morton National Park are popular with bushwalkers and there are many cultural experiences to be had - the Community Centre holds regular functions ranging from tango to movies, monthly piano mornings and farmers' markets. Solar Springs, with amazing facilities, is a great spa escape and accepts day-visitors. Near the RSL are playing fields and a seasonal (Oct- April) outdoor swimming pool.

Duncraig House is also the ideal accommodation to explore the local and award-winning wineries, many of the local cycle races, car rallies and collectors gatherings, not to mention Brigadoon and Highland Flings, when Bundanoon, the seat of ex-patriot Scots becomes the crowning glory of the Highlands. Bowral, Berrima and other notable Highland villages are all within a 20-minute radius of the lively character-filled village that is Bundanoon so book your next getaway at Duncraig House.

Beautiful house.
Beautiful house, in a great location. Lovely little spa and pretty garden. Lovely kitchen and lounge room. Sadly no gas in BBQ. Used towel left in masterbedroom upon our arrival. Few pieces of old rubbish in garden bushes. Otherwise we had a lovely family weekend away.

Absolutely Stunning Property For Family Getaway
Duncraig House was by far the best property my family has stayed at for Winter weekends away. Property slept 7 adults and 3 children very comfortably. High chair and large variety of kids toys was a bonus as well as play equipment outside. Property was very clean and a large amount of towels and blankets where available. Kitchen had all the utensils required. Will definitely be back next year.

Girls weekend 2021
This is a beautiful house. Modern and well maintained, with spacious gardens and plenty of parking. The kitchen is very well equipped with great cooking utensils, large pots and pans, plates, cups etc. The beds were comfortable, although for a large group of friends, as opposed to couples, the option of separating beds would have been good. Not enough dining chairs for 13 of us, (and one had a jutting screw which tore a blouse) and not enough sofas in the common living area. We were there on a cold and rainy weekend, so we didn’t utilise the outdoor space. The futon was not made up, and the bed linen supplied was the wrong size. The upstairs toilet didn’t flush when we arrived. However the staff at the holiday rental management company were very responsive and rectified our linen and plumbing issue very quickly. We thought a standard 4:00pm check in time was too late and a little mean, although we were granted an early check in at 2:00pm. We also didn’t appreciate being hit with a charge of an extra $800 dollars when we moved our 2 night stay forward by one night. We used the fireplace, however, there is an extra grill in the ingle which prevents the fireplace from operating properly, and although ample firewood was supplied, there was no kindling which was problematic in the rain. Overall we would recommend this house.

Beautiful House With Lovely Grounds
We stayed at Duncraig House for our annual trip away with our friends, the kids and dogs. The grounds of the house were lovely and big however it was raining the whole time we were there so unfortunately weren't able to spend any time outside. The media room which is considered a bedroom is at the top of the stairs from the kitchen & dining room and is open plan with no door. Not really what I would consider a bedroom and didn't provide any privacy and was not suitable for young kids to sleep in as it is at the top of stairs with no door to the room and quite loud from the noise from the kitchen and dining room. The spa was also not working while we were there which was disappointing. That being said the rest of the layout of the house was lovely, the beds were comfortable and lots of pillows to choose from. Nice big kitchen and island bench which was great for our large group. We still had a lovely time
