A Great place to hold a Team Workshop. A good number of rooms, and a great Shared space to hold presentations, with good break-out areas.

We had a great time here! Geoff has set the place up to be extremely user friendly, cupboards in the kitchen were labelled with the contents. Which is a life saver when you’re in an unfamiliar kitchen!
Lots of space for the family to hang out together, the pool and table tennis tables were a massive hit and the littlest members of the fam loved the bikes and swing available for use. There were plenty of heaters also which made our stay very comfortable in the middle of winter! Highly recommended staying here😁

Was even better than expected. The top house housed us all for meals and activities. The younger ones occupied the sleepout which worked extremely and friends, fortunately all short were in the basement.
Beautifully sunny and bright upstairs

This property was was extremely well equipped for the group, especially the kitchens. Host communication was excellent and instructions were thorough. Just to note the basement is separate from upstairs (no stairs in between) which may or may not be ideal for other groups. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay here.

We had a big group - grandparents, adults and grandkids. Great having 3 separate areas (upstairs, downstairs and sleep out). The kitchen, dining and lounge in the upstairs area is a great size for everyone to eat and socalise together. Well stocked kitchen items. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Geoff.

HI I communicated with Owner never had any Property Manager Contact so hence 1 star but happy to change if thisis a misunderstanding
8.0 / 10.0
This is a good property for our large group of 12. The upper floor is spacious with plenty of room for group activities and so is the outside decking with a lovely view of the estuary. There is also a gas BBQ on the decking that we used a lot. A short walk to the estuary provides beautiful view and a good morning exercise.
The bathroom downstair has quite a low ceiling, in the main house and sleepout, water pumps kicks in every time someone goes to the toilet and that can be very noticeable at night.
Overall, it was a good stay for our large group.

Had a great time staying in this fantastic batch. It was a great location, had a beautiful view, only a short walk away from the water and our kids had a blast on there bikes and scooters with the size and layout of the section. We had 3 families and all had more than our own space. Would definitely recommend and stay there again :)
