A very thrilling adventure!
It was a very thrilling and entertaining experience for the kids and they really enjoyed the room with the playstation and games. Very fun place to go! There was a lot of activities like cricket which everyone loved and the board games were fun for everyone. It was a very calming location and a nice open space where we can start open fire and cook some food. 10/10, 100% would recommend! For a family!

Great, relaxing, homely
Myself and my two fur babies had a wonderful time, we felt right at home relaxed in-front of the wood heater. It was great to have wifi. House was lovely and warm and very quiet ( even thought there are neighbours). Kitchen had everything you could ever need. Beautiful big claw foot bath. Nothing was too much trouble, Liz is a fantastic host. I will definitely be staying there again.

Excellent House
We loved our stay. The DVD and book collection were fantastic, and the bird watching was excellent! The house was well equipped with everything we needed to make all our own meals. We loved the local town and the walks around the goldfields park out the back of the property.

Let people know where the keysafe is.
Took over 30 minutes to find the key safe and unable to contact the owner and after a 2.5 hour drive this was quite frustrating. Would be good to leave the location of the key safe in the check in process. House could do with a bit of a clean and cobweb removal around the outside but inside was clean, tidy and had everything I needed for my stay. I would book again if I'm back in the area.

Great break from city life
We booked this trip for a break from the city hussle with our dog and absolutely loved it. The house is even nicer and larger than it looks in the photos and the property is in a really great location, backs onto a reserve and is only a 10min walk into town. The town doesn’t have much, but has everything you need, which was exactly what we were after. We had to deal with many delays due to Covid and this was handled with great ease with the owner. The only tiny issue we had was we struggled to find the lock box for the property to check in and the check in details didn’t specify where it was, no big deal, but if you’re booking this property, which you should, contact the owner prior for the location of the lock box. Wonderful stay all in all! Highly recommend.

A relaxing country retreat
A great place to stay for our family of five. Loved seeing kangaroos from our back door! And the most well stocked panty of any holiday rental ever. We can’t wait to come back.

Rural but not too rural
Nice place to get away too but not as isolated as may be perceived. Friendly neighbors with ample facilities near by, great stay for a small family.
