Top MacDonald Downs Hotel Reviews

The Amberley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Extremely helpful staff."

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

10/10 Excellent

"This is a magical spot in Penny's incredible gardens! Even on soggy winter days, we enjoyed wandering the property, and the fire kept us toasty warm in the cottage. Our family enjoyed the thoughtful touches, tea/coffee and basics for cooking (oil, condiments). We loved having so much space to stretch out, and the comfy beds. The shower was unfortunately a piddle, extremely unsatisfying and took ages ages to rinse off. The place could have used a bit more of a thorough clean (especially bathroom and the drawers/floors in the bedrooms), but overall, it was fantastic value, warm and inviting, and a peaceful escape. We enjoyed talking to Penny, and reading about the history of the property. Hopefully we'll be back!"

Your home away from home

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 7 weeks with our 3 children and cat whilst our home was being renovated. The host is lovely, the house is nice and warm, i would imagine this house would be awesome for a holiday, especially during summer with BBQ and furniture on deck. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay."

Riverside Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"It was wonderful that we could take our dog with us. We enjoyed it that he could spend most of the time outside in the fenced off area. We would love to go back in summer or autumn."

Leithfield Beach Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful location. Very good value."

Newfields Country Retreat - incl bfst

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for our needs but if you need good connectivity the wifi was delivering 2-6 Mbs and a sign said you probably needed to go outside for mobile access."

The Rangers House on the Edge of a Forest

10/10 Excellent

"Great for a quiet getaway, incredible scenery"

Loburn Retreat- Fireside by Tiny Away

10/10 Excellent

Russell's Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional stay at this off-the-grid cabin in the heart of Waipara wine country. Sue was an incredibly gracious host and the setting (especially the views and bath) were amazing. Highly recommend!"
