Clean and characters filled with most of what you need and suitable for pets ( dogs) it has an odd configuration, with the t. Room only accessible by going outside along the veranda and it's right in the Maine t to the . Nonetheless the bedrooms are quiet and the guard large and pretty good really. Would I stay here again ? Probably .

4.0 / 5.0
Very spacious property, large driveway and many outdoor areasto sit and soak in the sun. The home is a lovely restored Historic home with charm. We spent most of our evenings in the kitchen enjoying cheese platters & wines from our days adventures. Bed and rooms are comfy. Excellent indoor heating for Winter.
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful big, lovingly restored, warm and clean 1917 home.
Perfect place for hanging out on cold winter nights cooking and enjoying friendships. Close to Leura town mall for a lovely SPARROWS coffee and breakfast or lunch and a browse through the shops, and close to many beautiful walks and views.
1.0 / 5.0
Very disappointing as so dirty and dangerous conditions.
The main bathroom has a severe drainage problem and is very poor as the whole bathroom area floods and flows through to the downstairs ceiling and floor area.
Veranda areas were all very dirty. Tried to clean but in the end avoided using.
The BBQ was not only unusable but dangerous.
Grounds were unkempt, outside furniture was dirty and there were spiders everywhere.
The steep paths are covered in black mould - very slippery and need water blasting to clean. Unfortunately had a very very bad fall and looking at critical medical care now for lower back and head injury.
The downstairs areas are not only dirty but laundry areas posed dangerous electrical shock risk.
The house is very much in need of some TLC.

Lock on gate was put on incorrectly therefore we couldn’t open it without jumping the fence! Property was filthy at front door, complete with possum poo! The property had not been serviced. Was a mess, rubbish & towels left around. Fortunately the property manager was great & quickly moved us to another property that was clean, cozy & big. Also allowed us a late checkout. Thanks Rob. You made a disastrous beginning, into a relaxing weekend!

What a wonderful place, just gorgeous!
Only down side was it was a bit noisy from the road otherwise perfect
4.0 / 5.0
This property is a beautiful home, the attention to detail inside the home is lovely and the property was sparkling clean. We had a lovely stay. Central heating was absolutely lovely as was the open fire place. Only thing a bit odd was the TV room was a separate room off the porch and away from the main bit of the house. This might be a good thing if you want to get the kids away from the adults! Didn't really both us. Also the traffic noise, although dulled when doors shut - you can definitely still hear the trucks go by day and night. Again, didn't really both us. A lovely stay overall.
5.0 / 5.0
Lovely place to stay and even though close to highway once inside you hardly hear the traffic. Shame the central heating wasn’t working but the heaters in the rooms kept the place snug. Great for a girls weekend.
2.5 / 5.0
The space given for 5 people was great and the bonus of having a fire place made it really special. The high quality fixtures and bedding was lovely and even though temperatures dropped outside to 2 degrees you wouldn’t know it from inside the home
2.0 / 5.0
Despite being mid March, the weather was absolutely freezing when we stayed at Hailsham House. But the central heating is superb and we felt super snug and cosy in this property. We did not notice the road noise and this aspect was fine (the main road is pretty close). Overall we really enjoyed the stay.
2.5 / 5.0
Nicely styled, warm, cosy and great for a weekend getaway
