Stayed Jan 15, 2023Summary: While spacious with a good open main room and private picturesque setting, it was dirty and unhygienic, had insufficient cooling in the bedrooms, and a serious rat infestation. (Normally we give an owner a chance to fix any issues with direct, non-public feedback. This time we made a different decision to be public, to ensure accountability) When we first arrived there were rat droppings in the living area, the kitchen and the bedrooms. Not sure how this got through “cleaning” as there were both fresh droppings and many that had clearly been there for quite some time. The rats came into the house every evening and left fresh droppings even though we left out no food. The rats repeatedly kept people awake with the noises as they knocked over and chewed non-food items. One evening when one bedroom door was closed the rats visibly chewed the carpets to get out of the bedroom under the doors. There were many unaddressed rat entry points as the ground level flyscreens were all chewed through (when we first arrived we opened the windows at night because there no was working air-conditioning in the bedrooms). After using the BBQ one evening the rats very quickly appeared on the BBQ itself before we had finished our meal (in daylight) – this was the only time that we saw the quite large rats. The owner had known about the rats before we arrived as he warned us about not leaving food out on our arrival day. The place also had dust in many places including dust that brushed off curtains. There were stained and uncovered doonas, stinky blankets, active cobwebs and dead bugs throughout the living areas and bathrooms. The bathroom needed to be swept of bugs on arrival. Windows were dirty and smeared. This is a build up that the owners haven't bothered to deal with. One evening a cocoon/nest fell from the living room rafters onto the lounge. At least two bathroom doors would not latch and just blew open with a gentle breeze or with the rush of air as someone walked past. A mother and child were stung by wasps, since – as we discovered - there was a large nest in a plant just outside the living room door on the deck. We later discovered another nest near the front door. One air conditioning unit was broken and the “evaporative air conditioning” for the bedrooms was a complete waste of time.

Stayed Jan 9, 2023Great family getaway. Perfect place for a getaway with plenty of space and privacy for everyone. Amazing views and very peaceful… nicely located in a private setting. Will most likely be returning for another family getaway. Thanks Kookaburra ?

Stayed Nov 11, 2022The perfect (much needed) getaway for our group of 12. Everyone had so much space, the main living area was huge and perfectly accommodated our larger group. The views from the back deck are picture perfect, we have visited the hunter valley a few times but this stay takes the cake.
