Fun for all
We really enjoyed our long weekend stay as a group of families at the property. Kids and teens loved the swim spa, trampoline and it was awesome for us to have lots of games of competitive table tennis! A few items missing in the kitchen for hosting 20+ people. Andy was quick to reply when the spa needed some attention. Thank you

Lovely location
Large property with plenty to do for the adults and grandchildren whilst we celebrated my 70th birthday. Being picky but could do with a bit of maintenance inside and outside. Swim spa was popular! However, would happily stay there again. We were lucky with the beautiful weather and loved watching the family of ducks and other assorted wildlife on the property.

Great for families
The property has brilliant facilities with the small dam and jacuzzi on site. There is plenty of room for multiple families to comfortably stay. On the inside it was a bit tired; one of the towels was ripped and another blanket had a cigarette burn, everything was quite dusty. The main gas heater didn’t work although once it had been going for a while the split system did heat the space well. The kitchen, particularly the oven does need a clean and I think it would be good if the essentials were provided as they normally are in a property of this price ie salt, pepper, plain tea and coffee, litre of milk. We brought all of our groceries but had assumed the essentials would be available. The tv was great and was linked up to all the main streaming services- we just couldn’t work out the Foxtel. I think some basic instructions for the TV, heating/ cooling would be worthwhile. All in all we had a great stay but a few things would’ve made it even better.
