The location was lovely and the facilities were mostly clean. We enjoyed our stay here. I agree with one of the reviews as the cleanliness of the place was not the best - but I think it is because it is a pet-friendly location. The dishwasher was unusable as there was mould inside which did not disappear even though we ran the machine. Oven looked like it has never been cleaned and the utensils are everywhere. Other than that - it was a great short getaway in a very spacious and aesthetic house.

We had an amazing stay. We wanted a country getaway from our busy lifestyles and we got exactly that. The property was beautiful- the indoor fireplace was lovely and the whole place was so clean. Tim was a very good host, we really appreciated the extra touches of a bottle of wine and chocolates. The kids had a great time too, huge backyard and the walk to the falls was very easy,Think we might make it annual getaway with the family.Thanks Tim!

Tranquil break

Great location for getting away from the rat-race. Timbala is a very large property suitable for a party of 10 adults or up to 14 with children. The large kitchen, hot-tub and pool table were a hit.

Great getaway

This property is in a great location, easy to get to in the Southern Highlands. We were able to accommodate our whole family in the one location without being on top of each other. I think this will be a new trend for family get togethers on special occasions.

Lovely retreat in the country

Very spacious house with cosy fire and comfy couches, surrounded by national park. Walking distance to Fitzroy Falls and easy drive into nearby towns. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed watching the birds. Lovely place to get away from it all and unwind.

Beautiful house in a beautiful part of the state

Really lovely house that had plenty of space and beds for us. We enjoyed the pool table and fire pit as it was freezing (-1° for golf in the morning). Tim was beyond helpful and checkin was easy. Highly recommend for groups that just want to relax at the house as well, there’s plenty to do. Only a 2 minute walk to the falls is a big bonus as well. All in all a great stay

We had an absolutely fantastic weekend stay at this beautiful property. The house itself is amazing — spacious, stylish and perfect for our friends’ reunion. Everything was just as pictured and we had an incredible time.Tim, the host, was wonderful to deal with — great communication and very easy to chat with, which made the whole process seamless.As our stay happened to fall on a very cold weekend, the bedrooms at the back did get a little chilly — perhaps heated blankets or portable heaters could be a nice touch in the future.That said, this was only a minor suggestion — overall the property was wonderful, and we’ll definitely be back again (next time with my fur baby, as it looks very pet-friendly too!). Highly recommend!

Jewel in Fitzroy Falls

Wow! My reaction when i walked into the door of the property. A large house with wide open spaces and plenty of space for an extended family stay. With a cottage at the rear of the property and spacious garden there was plenty of space for all. The garden attracts local birdlife and the property is located in a quiet area within walking distance distance of the waterfalls.

Family Celebration

Timbalah was perfect for our needs across three generations. The indoor space was roomy, warm, comfortable and welcoming. Most meals were prepared in the well organised kitchen...great stove! Billiard table, spa, open fire and easy access to National Park ensured we were all catered for. Many beautiful places to visit close by. Thanks to host Tim who made sure everything was well prepared for us.

Wedding Weekend!

We celebrated our wedding at Mali Brae Farm, and a few of our closest family and friends had the pleasure of staying at Timbalah for the entire weekend. The location was perfect, just a short distance from the wedding venue.The house itself is spacious, with comfortable beds, and the BBQ was fantastic! The only minor drawback was the internet being down in the area, which resulted in limited service inside the house. Additionally, the property could benefit from a little TLC, but aside from that, everything was absolutely wonderful.Tim has been exceptional—extremely responsive and incredibly helpful both before and during our stay.

Wedding accommodation

I stayed here with my family for my wedding at Mali Brae Farm. It was an excellent choice, only a short drive to the venue. Its very peaceful and quiet, the perfect place to relax. We loved sitting around the fireplace, which was especially cosy. The beds are super comfortable and rooms nice and warm. Lots of games and a pool table for entertainment. Tim was always available if needed, and responded to texts and communication quickly and efficiently. We will absolutely stay here again when in the area. Highly recommend.

Seriously lacking TLC

This house has the potential to be great, lots of space and a nice private setting. However the whole property is in a complete state of disrepair. There is an enormous amount of work & clean up needed to bring it up to scratch, inside and out. Owner was lovely!

The property was perfect for us. It was large airy and bright. The kitchen was well appointed with everything one could possible need. The beds were comfortable. The showers were great. My only criticism is that I felt the house could have been freshly cleaned before we arrived. Some surfaces were sticky and the pots and pans were not very well cleaned as well.

Christmas getaway

We had a fabulous time relaxing and celebrated Christmas in this beautiful property with our four adult children their partners, grandchildren and fur babies. The house has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Our only issue was we could not open some of the windows to ventilate the house. and the fridge in the cottage was not working properly, all minor things that can be rectified. Tim is a great host and answered all our questions promptly. He made us feel welcomed and even dropped in with a gift to wish us all a Merry Christmas. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice property, great location, needs some TLC

Lovely location for the property, I hadn't realised how beautiful Fitzroy Falls was. The place itself is a nice house, great big open plan lounge room and a nice dining room and lounge area with TV and pool table leading onto the garden. The main downside was the cleanliness, while most of the main inside areas were pretty clean the outside - windows, porch area, screens were grubby and need a good clean. Also the bedrooms look tired, marked carpets and there appeared to be no heating in the bedrooms. Not a big issue in late spring but I wouldn't want to stay there in winter unless there's heating I didn't figure out.
