Amazing stay

We had a great time at Jamevin! All the bedrooms are large and most have ensuites which our guests loved. The main kitchen/dining/lounge area is huge and has all the things you could need for a stay. Amazing views and loved the spa. Only downfall was no wifi and the mobile data is patchy.

Perfect for Groups

Firstly thank you to Denis who was a fantastic host! I would highly recommend Jamevin which is an awesome property in a stunning location. It was perfect for our group of ladies celebrating the end of our sporting season. The facilities were plentiful and offered options for all weather conditions. We loved exploring the local bushland and spent many hours on the tennis court and in the communal recreation area.

Stunning area - accommodation very average

Make sure you confirm how many bedrooms you are getting as I assumed we got the 7 as advertised but the owner decides if you need 7 or not - we only got 6 for 9 nonrelated adults - very cozy and half of those beds didn't have sheets on them whole place needs maintenance and updated as very old as I said great area - we still have a fabulous weekend.

Fabulous and well equiped house

We had a fantastic family get together with grandparents, children and grandchildren. 21 of us in total. We cooked together in the excellent kitchen, played pool, went in the spa, played tennis and ping pong and went for lively bush walks that were suitable for all ages. This is a fabulous spot on a mountain top. Beautiful views from the main area of the house and all the balconies and lots of the bedrooms. Sooo wonderful to have ensuites in almost every room. This is a brilliant house for so many people. I highly recommend it for a large group!!The big tables were big enough for us all to eat together. The big open plan lounge, dining kitchen area is fabulous for all being in the one space and keeping an eye on children. The setting is very private but with the great ability to use the resort facilities of ping pong and outdoor swimming pool and tennis court. What a great house. I would recommend it to anyone!!! Thanks Denis and family God bless

Denis’ property is amazing. We went with a group of friends and it was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had. The house has beautiful views, lots of wildlife and beautiful walks.

Friends who are family - enjoy a winters getaway

I highly recommend this home for a getaway that you will be talking about for years to come. We had a wonderful time staying at this magical spot, it had so much to offer and kept everyone happy and entertained! We were a group of 24! 5 Families with kids ranging from 0-11. The house was spacious and each family had their own space for their own downtime. The kids loved the wildlife and the sporting equipment,of but course the Hot Tub was a clear winner of fun. They also enjoyed the bush walking and exploring the common areas being the tennis court , play equipment and the pool - even though ice cold we still had some brave entrants they were calling it their ice bath challenge! Denis was hands down the most amazing host - Fantastic in communication ,prompt with responses and extremely understanding with how delicate organising 5 families can be with their wants and needs. We can’t wait to stay again. Thank you Denis for everything

Nice Private and close to wildlife

Our stay was a boys retreat for weekend for 13 and it fit all of us comfortably. It's cozy enough but fits quite a lot of people. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Denis was very helpful and thorough. The property is bit remote so we were given all the instructions beforehand. Checkin process was good. Property is bit dated but was clean and 'fresh' when we got there. If you like wild life you will see right in the front yard.
