    We had the best time staying at this beautiful property. We booked this house so that 3 families could enjoy a relaxing holiday together. The house is exactly what the owners envisioned, a place to get lost in nature while still having all the comforts for a cozy stay. Despite some wet weather during our visit, the house kept us warm and comfortable. The kids had a great time with all the games available and the projector allowed us to have fun movie nights. The kitchen is impressively well equiped, rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. Nic is an outstanding host, very attentive and genuinely caring. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We would absolutely love to return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature.

    Peaceful and relaxing holiday even with kids running around as they could entertain themselves with all the space to play in.

    My family celebrated some milestone birthdays with a long weekend away at this spectacular house. The house is a truly remarkable achievement. They have managed to maintain a high level of luxury and comfort while being completely off grid and remote. We visited in winter and were always warm and comfortable. The house is a large space with en suites in every room so it was perfect for our party. The house was well stocked with appliances and modern comforts like coffee machines etc. The kids were entertained by the surroundings and the toys/games at the house. We particularly appreciated the fact that fire place is raised and set back so that young children can't get near it. Also, ease of communication with the owner was probably the best I've experienced with a vacation house Our only criticism was the cleanliness of the kitchen and some of the common areas. The bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate but the cleaning in the kitchen lacked some attention to detail. Not a deal-breaker but a bit of a shame considering how perfect everything else was. Thank you Nic for a wonderful weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

    This property is unique and private with stunning views! This is perfect for a few families staying together as there are 5 bedrooms all with their own private bathroom - very rare to find. We really enjoyed our stay and the highlights were the fire pit (plenty of firewood for use) and the trampoline was popular amongst the kids. However, we did find that a lot of the cutlery, glasses and dinnerware were dirty and felt that it lacked some basic amenities like tea bags and sugar which was a bit disappointing given this is a luxury retreat. The breakfast staples that were meant to be provided as per advertisement was not there. All in all a lovely and relaxing stay.

    Magnificent location in the Australian bush.. The house was perfect for a group getaway with everyone having their own bathrooms. We really enjoyed using the fire pit surrounded by stunning views

    the house itself was beautiful, and the owners have really made it a luxury escape. Loved the bush walk/trail around the property, and the homey feel of the fireplaces keeping us warm.
