Stayed with two families and had a wonderful time. House was fully equipped with lots of space for the 12 of us. The view outside the house was absolutely breathtaking and made even more special with daily visits from local kangaroos.
Stayed with two families with young kids. The house was perfect and pleasantly surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked and generally felt like 5 stars. Quality bedding and extras! Plus the wildlife feeder and provided feed was a great bonus.
Made daily visits to the resort facilities - pond, tennis court and pool. Will definatley visit again!!
What an absolutely wonderful destination for our group winter getaway! Our experience at this place exceeded all expectations. One of the standout features for us was the option to have all the King beds twinned, which was perfect for our group. The thoughtfulness of the setup truly catered to our needs.
The communication with the owner was fantastic. I had numerous questions, and I reached out through the Stayz app. The owner's responsiveness was remarkable; she promptly addressed all my inquiries and never once made me feel like I was being a bother. She went above and beyond by even providing us with information about a local masseuse, sparing us the hassle of searching online.
Opting for the pizza oven option was an absolute win, especially for our first night's dinner. The convenience of having this choice made our arrival so much smoother and allowed us to dive right into relaxation mode. The pizzas were delicious, and the whole experience set a great tone for our stay.
When I shared a few minor suggestions with the owner regarding the check-in process, she was incredibly open and receptive. It's evident that she genuinely cares about the quality of her guests' experiences and is willing to make adjustments for an even better stay.
Now, let's talk about the view—it's breathtaking. Waking up to such an awe-inspiring panorama and the friendly kangaroos was truly a highlight of our trip.

Best place iv ever stayed.
Thank you very much
We will be back.
Wonderful location, surrounded by wildlife and stunning views. A perfect place for a weekend away, leaving your cares behind. Owners were friendly and very easy to communicate with. Will definitely be back.
What a totally amazing retreat - the view is just spectacular and the house just everything you could possibly need. Very relaxed and comfortable stay Thankyou so much.
Absolutely amazing! Didn’t want to come home! So relaxing which is everything we needed.
Just amazing. From the moment we book Janine and Jodie were fantastic! It was everything we hoped for and more, only regret was having to come home. Can’t wait to go again
This place was just absolutely breath taking. My guests were in awe with everything.
This is definitely highly recommended.

Unbelievable jProperty
Tranquill, well equipped, quality inclusions - everything that we needed for an excellent weekend away with our group of friends. Would recommend highly to consider for a stay. Oh and the spa was out of this world.
From the moment we pulled up we knew this was a special place, with an amazing view over the valley and kangaroos to greet us. I watched a possum & baby at night and lots of bird life and lizards around.The house was set up beautifully with everything we could want. Plenty of room for 8 adults in the bedrooms, loungeroom, indoor & outdoor dining. Linen, towels, pillows, etc. all good quality. Kitchen well equipped. Toiletries provided and even enough toilet paper We made good use of the pool table and tennis court.Minor inaccuracies in the ad include: Full sized Billiard table is not, but it is a normal sized Pool table; there is no cafe onsite.

Amazing location, view and property - great with kids.
We stayed for three nights recently and Valley View was amazing, with great facilities, beautiful view in a great house.
There were 8 of us (two families) and we could have stayed for a week. Other than a minor hiccup with power and water which was addressed promptly (and the only downside) we had an amazing time relaxing, playing with the kangaroos and watching the eagles soar over the valley.
Would definitely stay there again.
We had the best weekend away at this property. The location was fabulous and the property was so cozy and had everything we needed and more! We were three couples with three toddlers and a 5 month old baby. The toddlers adored hand feeding the kangaroos and the playground. We can't wait to come back in warmer weather too! Thanks for a superb weekend!
Comfortable in every aspect and perched on top of the mountain, this beautiful retreat provided a perfect setting for our family getaway. Despite the rain all weekend, there was plenty to do and the property provided all the comforts, you could ever want or need for a little getaway. With a backdrop of stunning views all around and the company of birds, wallabies and kangaroos, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and we will definitely be back.
Thank you

Absolutely stunning views. The house was amazing, 5 star touches everywhere! We were so warm and comfortable inside we barely left the house! The kangaroos gave it an extra special touch, my daughter absolutely loved them, lots of cute baby joeys in their mothers pouches. Definitely coming back.

Amazing view and beautiful home!!!
When we arrived we were shocked by the view it took us half a hour to even venture into the house. It was the most beautiful view we’d seen. Then when we finally made it into the house we were ecstatic to find it surpassed our expectations. Very clean and has everything you could want being away from home. It was spacious and the beds very comfortable. We stayed with friends but will definitely be back with the family.
Everything was amazing. Great location and the view was outstanding.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything you could possibly need was supplied. The wildlife greeted us immediately and the Roos were very friendly.
The only negative is finding the house. I would recommend offering more detailed instructions on how to find it and a reference to the rough drive up the hike. A larger car is definitely needed.

Amazing home in a piece of paradise!
I organised a girls weekend away and chose Valley View as our location. No matter how many properties I searched I always was drawn to this one...and for good reason! We were greeted by kangaroos and wallabies coming up the driveway, who didn't leave the whole time we were there and enjoyed waking up to them and handfeeding!
There was a beautiful complimentary basket of goodies on the table, wine, cheese, crackers, nuts, chocolate etc. Pantry filled with sauces, oil, herbs, spreads.
Beds with quality sheets were amazingly comfortable all opening up to decks overlooking the bush/valley.
Plenty of games, pool table, not to mention the amazing spa outside with views.
Log fire, ducted air con, spa bath in one of the bathrooms...there was nothing extra we could have needed.
We fell in love with this place and didn't want to leave. We have all decided this will be our annual home away from home.
Thankyou for such a fabulous stay.

Magical stay in the clouds
Don't read this otherwise Valley View will be permanently booked! Unbelievable! When we drove up to the house and the first thing we see is the expansive and majestic view over the valley, we were truly gobsmacked. Never seen my kids lost for words before. The most beautiful, perfectly kept, clean and comfortable stay at Valley View.
When they said they would take care of every little detail they meant it. We were [pleasantly greeted with a welcome basket full of biscuits, cheese, champagne, chocolate! It certainly set the scene for a most enjoyable weekend.
Not a stain, not a scrap of dirt, fresh linen and towels, we absolutely loved it. The scented candles throughout the house is divine. You can't help but relax here. Hubby kept the fire stoked which was so cosy, the house has ducted heating/air so not a toe got cold, ever! For those that need more activity, the billiard table, the spa (s), the movies, the games, feeding the kangaroos and the birds, not to mention the bushwalking kept everyone well and truly entertained.
Those beautiful kangaroos with all their joey's, so friendly! - camera clicked the entire time. Not to mention the sunrise over the valley - WOW! The beds are super comfy and the kitchen has all those things you forget to bring like condiments, cling wrap, serviettes, oil etc. Couches are super plush and plenty of room to spread out. LOVED the wrap around balcony and the BBQ and Pizza oven which we enjoyed immensely. WILL DEFINITELY RETURN!
