    Super relaxing stay with the friendly kangaroos.

    The gardens were very dry - it was summer and some dryness is to be expected but there does not appear to be reticulation. I was a little dissapointed as the pictures of the gardens were what attracted me to this property. Some of the plants were dead. There was a dead rat in the oven which can't be helped and was cleaned up quickly. The bath in the back yard had slime and algea growing in it so we were not able to use it.

    There is a fantastic little family of kangaroos who live in the yard. Quite a lot of bird life including some beautiful finches. Back porch is perfect for quiet contemplation and relaxation. The inside bath is great, the architecture is interesting and the house is well appointed with everything you need for a stay. The house is located a short drive to the main town of Pemberton so it is convenient.

    Have to go downstairs for the toilet at night. If one person watches TV everyone hears due to the open plan structure. Can hit your head on the stairs if not careful. No wood for the fireplace, and it was freezing.

    Beautiful glass windows with views upstairs and downstairs. Anything you need to be comfortable. Spacious. Lovely oven and kitchen facilities. Best beds and bedding ever! Beautiful citrus trees.

    The accomodation was beautiful and old school which me and the mrs loved. The scenery surrounding the house was perfect with kangaroo's bouncing around. The kids loved going for walks and playing around the house.

    It was a bit cold in the room downstairs. It would have been great to have wemore wood for the fireplace on arrival.

    Beautiful surrounds in the forest, very peaceful and serene. The house itself is beautiful with enormous bath, gorgeous decor and lots of natural light. The facilities in terms of cookware and amenities were fantastic.

    Absolutely nothing - I couldnt fault this place if I tried.

    This house was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed. Its in such a great location. Waking up to the kangaroos outside was lovely. All of the beds were super comfy.

    Charming property with beautiful grounds. We had such a lovely relaxing time. Samantha was a wonderful host, great communications. Accommodating of our last minute request to bring our dog... who had the time of his life and didn't want to leave. Would recommend and definitely stay again. Thank you

    Great location. Just a short walk behind the property to Gloucester national park and a short drive to the town. We enjoyed the sound of birds every morning and frequent visit of Kangaroos. Ideal property for your next family holiday. We will totally recommend this property to all nature lovers.

    The property was quite tired and shabby. The decor was scruffy, the furniture worn. Some of the blinds were broken. The cookware was old and the shower space had a crack in the floor and grubby sealant. There was no complimentary milk, the shower gel was empty. There was no internet access available or guidance. There was no hot water and the gas hob didn't work. This was due to a faulty gas supply / connection. The first night of our 2 day stay was not fit for purpose. I have no apology or response to emails sent to special stays.

    We could not recommend the property as we believe it is overpriced for what's on offer.

    We did not receive the SMS with the code for the key lock on the morning of our arrival so had to phone for it when we got there. Shower plughole blocked so water floods the entire area making it impossible to put a bath mat down but,most importantly,extremely slippery and therefore dangerous. Lighting throughout the house wasn't adequate except in the lounge where it would have been useful to have the dimmer switch working or perhaps dimable bulbs in the overhead fitting.Light bulb in laundry not working. Only one small extension cord found in the laundry cupboard which we used to pull the TV away from the wall so the person on the couch nearest the back windows could view the whole screen. The second adult in the downstairs bedroom,on the side closest to the wall, could not use the electric blanket because the cord didn't reach the power point,fortunately the lamp on the piano's cord, did,so that person could have a reading lamp but had to stand it on a stool from the kitchen. Window treatments throughout the house were either non existent or not adequate.Lots of cooking pots and casserole dishes but not enough plates. Would have been useful to have the user manuals for all the appliances. No wood on arrival so we had to buy some from IGA. My husband did find a wood shed on the property with an axe which he used to chop kindling but unfortunately the wheelbarrow's tyre was flat and busted so it made transporting the wood to the house difficult.My husband is 72 with a crook back. Misleading advertising as it certainly is doesn't offer privacy for 6 x adult couples, with 2 x queen beds and a day bed in each room and the upstairs bedroom with no enclosed walls and a door.

    The gardens and surrounding landscapes were stunning. The fridge and freezer were of a good size but because the space they are set in is too small,the fridge door jammed on the freezer door each time we used it unless we remembered to close it very firmly. Large lounge,kitchen and dining area and both a washing machine and drier in the laundry.
