Spacious property & well set up for a large group- we were 9 people.
The property is set back from a very busy road.
The pool is beautiful, but there is no shade available poolside ( eg: umbrellas)
The table tennis & pool tables were well used.
Very spacious bathrooms & laundry

The property beyond meeting all our needs. The place is huge and delivered everything that it said it would.
The location is perfect and a short drive to everything including the golf courses which is what we wanted.
Lily is a tremendous host and communicates well. The value of the property is on point and we would stay there again without any doubt. Highly recommended.

What a perfect house for a big group … great size rooms lots of entertaining areas and not too close to neighbours. Close to Sydney, the pool is awesome. Next time I would bring my own pillow and no offence to the owners but the cleaners were off the mark .

Excellent house for large family holiday. only have a couple of things that could do with some attention.
1. some blown light bulbs
2. 2 hobs on gas cooktop not working and or not working properly
3.bottom tray in kitchen fridge wont slide properly
4. washing machine unreliable- keeps stopping mid cycle
5. air con could do with some operating instructions so the rooms that are ducted can all get air.
Overall the property was fantastic. Extremely well supplied kitchen crockery cutlery etc, lovely clean bathrooms, fantastic pool, lovely outside furniture etc etc. Thank you Lily

Apart from issues with the pool - filter was inadequate and water looked murky & green - attended by pool guys on 3 occasions during our stay, which was ok but it did disrupt us from using the pool. The filter was finally upgraded on Monday 9/1, too late for us though. I did address this before due to reviews noting like issues with the pool and was assured it had been cleaned, sorry but that wasn't the case when we arrived. Overall, the property albeit dated, served us well, lots of rooms to accommodate us, pool table, table tennis, lots of space in and out and our dog was happy, kitchen was well stocked with appliances etc,
I must say that all calls to the owner regarding the condition of the pool were answered and actioned but too late for our stay, others will benefit now that the pool filter has been upgraded, still disappointing from our perspective especially since I prompted my concerns 2 weeks prior to our stay, our grandchildren missed out on some swimming.

Just a little dated inside , no instructions on the wi- fi couldn’t watch the footy that was broadcasted had to watch it on our own iPad . Dishwasher repair man turned up on the Friday saying it had been agranged for him to be there , no notice to us at all , over all a littl disappointing for the money .

Checkin combination did not work. Could not get hold of owner as had to use app and could not get app to accept any password I put in. Property is getting tired in that doors falling off couboards and door handles falling off. Apart from that, we had a lovely weekend. Would liked to be able to use garages and need instructions forTV and wifi

This venue was perfect, it had great entertainment within the house (table tennis and pool table) which kept us busy! Would recommend this venue!
Property was clean and dealing with Lily was a pleasure.

Perfect for a big group
The house was very accomodating for a big group. Kitchen had everything you need, and 3x big bathrooms was perfect. The pool table and ping pong tables were super fun for the kids and adults too. The host was so lovely and replied quickly to all our questions. Would definitely stay there again.

Misrepresented
The property is large enough but is currently a swamp and smells inside of mould. The outside is not maintained. A couple of appliances, one toilet and few door handles were broken. The pool and response times from manager were good.

Great for large groups
Lots of rooms and comfortable spaces with a well stocked kitchen. Could do with more mirrors in rooms and pedestal fans for rooms but otherwise it was very spacious and well located

Great house for a weekend get away. Went away with a few mates and we had a blast! Great place for a soccer tournament outside, pool tournament and Fifa tournament.

We had a great holiday and the house was spacious and clean. We had a lot of fun with the pool, pool table and table tennis. Some things to note however, is that only 2 or 3 bedrooms had aircon and fans while some bedrooms didn't have either so it became quite hot at night. Other than that the house was great and the location was quite lovely.

Where do I start? Unfortunately from the minute we walked in the house smelt like mould and mildew like the house hasn’t been aired out in years. The house was not clean at all. The house was full of spiders and bugs and every room had cobwebs in the ceiling. One of our guests had any asthma attack due to the smell of the mould and another guest had an allergic reaction due to the same reason. Which was not pleasant at all. 3 out of the 7 rooms had no air conditioning and it was very difficult to sleep in and the smell in all the rooms also didn’t help. The air conditioner did not work in zones either. It had to be on in all rooms of off in all rooms. The couch in the living room was broken and had fur or hair all of it. The tv did not work at all, there was no sound and the remote wasn’t working properly so the kids couldn’t watch a movie at all. The kitchen did not have enough nor clean utensils or cups and plates. The hot water was also disappointing because for a house that fits 20 people the hot water is not enough and we had to wait till the water warmed up between people. The pond did not look like the pictures on your website it was disgusting and filthy. There wasn’t enough lighting around the pool area. The veranda rails were broken on either end which was not safe at all. Unfortunately the OH&S at this property was very low. The mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable and didn’t have protectors on them. Not all rooms had locks on them which made privacy difficult and the rooms with locks on the doors did not even work/lock the doors. The fridge near the front door didn’t have effective cooling. The house had a mop head that was absolutely disgusting we bought our own mop head and cleaning aids and the house was mopped 4 times before all our guests moved in. Lights were filled with dirt and bugs and some lights didn’t even work. So overall we did not have a pleasant experience and we DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY AT ALL. * we have photos to back up our summary*
