Big house in need of much maintenance

Great facilities for the whole family BUT Doors don't shut in the toilet and bathroom. Uncut lawns, poor visual appeal due to garden maintenance. Cigarette butts around the pool area. Had to keep kids away from the pond in case they caught something. Old furniture and poor condition of furniture both inside and out. This place needs so money spent on it to justify the price being charging. Could be very nice with just some regular attention to the property. Place looked stunning on the website.

Women’s footy trip

Plenty of room for all 14 of us. Fantastic layout, spacious kitchen and comfortable rooms. A light over the spa would be a great idea and a few extra power points would also be great, otherwise this property is perfect for a large group getaway! Thank you so much 😀

Rippa house!

We all had the best time at this property. So much fun with the outdoor spa and adjacent pool. Great outdoor lounge area to enjoy.

Kitchen is stocked with all you need for a comfy stay and more. Pool table was a great addition for some fun! Highly recommend!

Excellent for families.

We had a fabulous time with our children and grandchildren all together. The house made it easy for each couple to have a room ànd the kids loved all being able to sleep in the same room. The spa was a hit also. We will definitely consider coming back.
