Plenty of room for 8 adults and 5 children with room to spare. Facilities were excellent with favorable comments from each family. Kids loved the community facilities - pool, yabbie pond, and playground. Plenty of wildlife to entertain us -kookaburras, kangaroos, AND a goanna! The pool table was a hit with the adults once the children were in bed. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience was had by all. Recommended.

The road up the mountain was exciting. There were 11 adults (3 generations in our group). We all walked up the hill to the recreation area and used the pool, tennis court and ping pong table. The house provided plenty of space in the kitchen/dining room for us to enjoy our Mexican evening and pool comp.All 11 of us agreed the accommodation, views and amenities are 5 star and perfect for a fun weekend.

The host stands out Number one for communicationthe house was clean and tidy There was enough space for everyoneThe spa was nice and didn’t smell like other places I’ve been to. The house was nice and cool when we entered - especially as it was an extremely hot day. The area is beautiful with friendly kangaroos right under our balcony. The signs around the house made it easy to follow instructions. The first aid kit was visible and easy to find. (Not that it was needed - but I know my health and safety: so it’s important to see that it is there and available )Above all the just stands out for me- he made us feel very welcome and it was very easy to reach him when we needed him. Thanks again Denis for sharing your home with us and all the best in future bookings - we had a lovely stay

Amazing stay

We had a great time at Jamevin! All the bedrooms are large and most have ensuites which our guests loved. The main kitchen/dining/lounge area is huge and has all the things you could need for a stay. Amazing views and loved the spa. Only downfall was no wifi and the mobile data is patchy.

Perfect for Groups

Firstly thank you to Denis who was a fantastic host! I would highly recommend Jamevin which is an awesome property in a stunning location. It was perfect for our group of ladies celebrating the end of our sporting season. The facilities were plentiful and offered options for all weather conditions. We loved exploring the local bushland and spent many hours on the tennis court and in the communal recreation area.

Stunning area - accommodation very average

Make sure you confirm how many bedrooms you are getting as I assumed we got the 7 as advertised but the owner decides if you need 7 or not - we only got 6 for 9 nonrelated adults - very cozy and half of those beds didn't have sheets on them whole place needs maintenance and updated as very old as I said great area - we still have a fabulous weekend.

Fabulous and well equiped house

We had a fantastic family get together with grandparents, children and grandchildren. 21 of us in total. We cooked together in the excellent kitchen, played pool, went in the spa, played tennis and ping pong and went for lively bush walks that were suitable for all ages. This is a fabulous spot on a mountain top. Beautiful views from the main area of the house and all the balconies and lots of the bedrooms. Sooo wonderful to have ensuites in almost every room. This is a brilliant house for so many people. I highly recommend it for a large group!!The big tables were big enough for us all to eat together. The big open plan lounge, dining kitchen area is fabulous for all being in the one space and keeping an eye on children. The setting is very private but with the great ability to use the resort facilities of ping pong and outdoor swimming pool and tennis court. What a great house. I would recommend it to anyone!!! Thanks Denis and family God bless
