The best accomodation so far

This is about as perfect as it gets for a large family group (12 adults age range 50s to 95). Very spacious, well appointed, views to die for and really close to town and scenic attractions with walking tracks just down the road. We’ll be back for longer next time

Beautiful, peaceful stay

Beautiful, huge house. Great that every room has an ensuite, and absolutely loved the view. Had a small issue with the fireplace beeping - staff were very attentive and sent someone immediately to try to fix it. Would very happily stay there again (and hope to soon)!

We had a lovely family Christmas here....9 adults and a dog. Beautiful view of the escarpment and comfortable , well equipped house. When it turned cold on Boxing Day we even made use of the heater!Small quibbles ...no oven mitts and would have been nice to have some games provided. Would stay again.

Much larger than expected

This property was perfect for our family gathering. Despite having misty rain on and off over our stay there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and the views from all the rooms spectacular ( when the mist cleared). Good provision of basic cooking items.
