Girls weekend
The property was perfect, we felt like we miles from the city not just a 35 minute drive away. Easy drive to the valley for a great massage and delicious lunch. The property had absolutely everything you could want for a great time away from the madding crowd!!!

Beautiful Brigadoon
Our family spent 3 nights at Janene’s beautiful property. Janene was so helpful from the get go. There’s a great cafe, Taylor’s only 10mins drive, but the house is so well set up to enjoy the fabulous pool, games room & amazing sunsets & bird life that you won’t want to go anywhere!

Special family celebration
Beautiful presentation, very clean and we had a lovely time celebrating a 70th birthday. Just one suggestion: our 22 month old baby kept wanting to go to the fish pond. It would be a great addition to have a safely gate at the top of the stairs to the fish pond

Thankyou Faye, we appreciate your feedback. The fishpond is fully fenced within the pool area already, but we will take your suggestions onboard. Thanks again.

Family time
My family of 10 stayed here for combined milestone birthdays and it was a beautiful experience full of memories. This is a tranquil property which provides everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The hosts are very personable and prompt with any requests. I especially loved the Koi pond and kookaburras resting on the verandah. I would highly recommend this gorgeous home for any memorable occasions you have in the future. Thankyou for making our family memories so special. Dawn

Nothing short of spectacular
It doesn't get better. This property has everything you want and more. The view and location is amazing, you don't need to go anywhere during your stay. Attention to detail is the best we've seen. Everything from the notes of information throughout the property to the fireplace and pizza wood oven having kindling, firestarters, etc all ready to go so its just a case of light it and away you go. Can't recommend enough and we'll be back for sure.

A peaceful retreat
We are family of 4 adults + 4 kids. The home was so cozy and well equipped. The kids were occupied with all the books and toys. Coming from Singapore, the fireplace was a novelty for us. It was beautiful with the fire at night. When it was sunny the kids were out with a frisbee and we had BBQ. Mornings were absolutely peaceful and beautiful with birds chirping. Spotted a few wallabies in the nearby woods. Only issue was there were bugs coming in when it was rainy. 3-4 bugs each time from some gap from the living room sliding door. This spooked one of our kids quite a bit. All in all was a pleasant stay

Our home is set in a bushland setting and along with the wildlife and birdlife, small bugs can be prevalent also at times. Had we been made aware of this issue we may have been able to help. We will look at possible ways to help with these issues in the future.

This property is absolutely stunning and perfect for a relaxing getaway with friends and family. Everything was spotlessly clean and the place is so well equipped, you will never be bored!

Clean, tidy spacious family getaway
Beautiful, clean and tidy house n with well maintained landscape. Plenty to keep you entertained without leaving the property. Heaps to keep kids busy and lots to do to bring family together. Janene response to your questions within minutes to make your planning for your stay stress free. Only minutes away from wineries for those wine enthusiasts. Will be going back if over in WA again.
