Fresh eggs were a great surprise & tasted great!

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend retreat at the Rye House. It was exactly what we’d hoped for. Perfect for several adults with 5 bedrooms. The house is surrounded by farmland, is very quiet,with a nice outlook. All that and only a few minutes drive from Kangaroo Valley township.

We had a lovely time at the Rye house

we appreciated the lady owner inviting us to check in at 12pm instead of 3pm. we appreciated the Christmas tree for Christmas day and the arrival gift of chocolates and wine bottle. However, we expected the pool would be useable particularly that the property was described as having a swimming pool and we paid for it. But the pool wasn't clean and had sand and dirt sediments with a dead frog in it. we turned on the pump to attempt to clean it but realised quickly the water was reducing in the pool so we turned it off. we messaged the owner immediately. the lady owner replied a few hours later saying that her son cleaned the pool on the Thursday. I acknowledged that there were storms since Thursday. Later that day the male owner came on a quad bike and was abusive towards my husband accusing him of breaking the pump. The male owner then told us to pack our bags and leave! ( twice he said that). we were stunned! His son turned the hose on to refill the pool and the pump at the same time but the pool wasn't filling up and the dirt wasn't going away. the adult son then returned later that evening and acknowledged that the pump was broken and the pool was out of action. but apologised on behalf of his dad and asked us to stay. we stayed but we couldn't fully enjoy the holiday knowing the owner didn't want us there and we couldn't use the facilities advertised that we paid for. Also some of the outdoor furniture was very dirty so we couldn't use it. We left 2 days early.

Beautiful property surrounded by well looked after, manicured gardens. We really enjoyed our stay at the Rye house. Only thing to note was the walking times listed into Kangaroo Valley in the description of the property state 25min walk. It is more a 40min walk with the first part being on a thin stretch of road along the highway. The hosts were very responsive to any questions before and during our stay.

Cute and well set out house located on a beautiful property was perfect for our little family getaway. Fresh eggs from the chickens in the morning were a nice bonus. Definitely enjoyed our stay

We had expected more animals for the children to interact with. They loved the chickens, The pool was wonderful for the kids. Peaceful environment The twin bedroom smelled very damp/musty

Our family really enjoyed staying in Rye House. The facilities are fabulous, a large living area, decks front and back, the comfy beds and the pool. Best of all was the sense of privacy and being in nature, the garden and the views. We were very grateful for the Christmas tree! This home is highly recommended.
