Nice place to stay for three families. Great outside entertainment area with dishwashing set up. Used this the whole time we were there and did not use the lounge or deck upstairs. Good to have two bathrooms. Great location in Happy Valley. Good to
Have mozzie screens on all the windows.
Gripes - One of the beds upstairs has seen better days and has bad roll together. One of the pillows in that room is like a slab of concrete and should be replaced.

Very comfortable. We loved being able to cook downstairs in the covered area. Used our own gas cookers that we brought along with us. The fenced in garden kept the young children safe and happy while they played in the yard.

Had a great time staying will definatley be back to stay again here. Was clean and tidy great yard for children to play it was located in a great place.
5.0 / 5.0
Property was great for the size of our group.
Perfect location, especially across the road from the pub.
The property manager was great, he ensured the solar/batteries were always topped up due to some bad weather.
The only suggestion I would recommend is putting a full size fridge/freezer downstairs for FOOD ONLY and keep the other 2 bar sized fridge/freezers as bait only as we had to scrub both fridge and freezer downstairs as they stunk of bait and still had bait juice in them both.
We did inform the property manager of this for his future reference.
Overall we will definitely be booking this house again.

Fantastic house for a family break. Great location, fully fenced so little kids can enjoy playing in the spacious yard. More fridge and freezer space downstairs would have made it easier but we made it work. Would recommend any family looking for a kid friendly house with a perfect location to stay here.

Good location
Cooking facilities down stairs could do with a upgrade and the house was freezing but overall not a bad place to stay
4.0 / 5.0
Well located property
This place is great for large families or groups. Plenty of room but best for summer &/or dry weather holiday. The house is on 2 levels with 2 bedrooms, bathroom & toilet on the lower level & 3 bedrooms, bathroom & toilet on the upper level. There is no internal access between the 2 levels. Access is via covered outside stairs & walkway that is not weatherproof. Cooking facilities are provided on both the upper & lower level but not enough room for a large group to eat together except on the lower level that is open to the elements. So, great in good weather but not ideal when cold, windy or wet.
Despite the less than ideal weather we had during our stay we enjoyed the experience & our time in the house.

Absolutely loved this house. Great location, plenty of room and awesome layout!
So easy to organise and all at the last minute. We were really happy with the accommodation and having stayed before in other houses, it was so much better having extra fridge/freezer space and a great hang out area.

Great location, great house for 2 families
Happy Valley is the perfect central place to stay. The house had plenty of room and parking. There was some miscommunication between the owner and the property manager but all was sorted after check in.

Perfect for our trip
The property was just right for a larger group who wanted to explore Fraser and in particular fish and 4WD. Very well fitted out with all you need to self cater and enjoy yourself once done for the day.
