Wonderful family get-together

We were a large extended family group and this property ticked all the boxes. It was well equipped and large enough for everyone to spread out or congregate together. It was a very hot weekend but the aircon and ceiling fans kept us comfortable. An easy drive to shops and wineries was an added bonus.

A fabulous family catch-up weekend

Earth inspired retreats was perfect for our large family weekend stay. The house was very well equipped allowing easy cooking for large groups using the large oven and bbq and there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have their own zones (and bathrooms). Communication was great, check-in easy, it was very cosy and warm and the outdoor firepit was a bonus for toasting marshmallows and sharing many happy memories. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay. The kids and adults all had a great time.

Amazing Stay

My large extended family and some friends stayed at this property over the weekend for my mother-in-law‘s 80th birthday party. The property was just perfect. There was a perfect amount of bedrooms and bathrooms as well as ideal extra breakout spaces as well . The balcony and outdoor spaces were perfect for us and the kitchen area was ideal as well. The fire kept us very warm at night. I cannot speak more highly of this accommodation and its value for money. My family had a fabulous time. The communication from the host was also exceptional. I highly recommend Earth Inspired Retreats.

Quiet in Quorrobolong

We have just had a great family Early Christmas Get Together at Earth Inspired Retreats -13 people with ages from a 3yr old to a 79 yr old over 3 generations. We could not fault it. The booking was easy and the hosts made contact with us 3 times prior to the weekend to ensure we had full information. Very professional. The travel instructions were clear and accurate. Road access was very good although the last 400 or so metres (unsealed) down to the venue may be difficult for some cars in heavy rain or after a major storm. Our 4 cars had no trouble at all despite one being a quite low clearance sports sedan. We will happily stay here again.

Quorrobolong, that's where we belong!

We love Phillips House. This was our second stay, so this last visit was like coming home! The 'House' fitted our family easily, and that is all 20 of us! The separate 'apartments' suited two families and the other couples and singles were easily accommodated. We spread ourselves around in the lounge room with the wood heater keeping us cosy; the kitchen and BBQ passing every test. We will be back!

Phillip House

Great communication for booking, queries and contact whilst at the accommodation. House is tired and needs repair and good clean but large and great for a large group. Billiard table and table tennis are broken and could not be used - walk across the paddock to them was under water.

A Relaxing Getaway

Our stay at Phillip House was very enjoyable. We went there for two nights and three days with several other families. All the facilities were excellent - heaters in every room, a working kettle and stove, multiple bathrooms kept very clean and a fine TV. There was also a fireplace which gave the room a cosy atmosphere, much appreciated by eveeryone since it was winter. There were also games and DVDs in a cupboard and an old but still working organ in the sitting room. Nick, the owner, was very responsible and informative. We'd love to come back!

Getaway with friends

We enjoyed the stay overall and were very impressed with the size of the house and how it comfortably fit 20 guests. Loved the large living area. More attention could have been paid to cleanliness especially in the kitchen and bathroom areas. The green gaming shed also had a very bad smell which needs attention. However, we loved the wildlife that surrounded the house and the beautiful views. The property was also very easy to find with the directions given. Would recommend and stay here again.

Lovely Abode but needs upgrades

We(18 of us..aka 5 families) stayed in the property over Dec 2021 holidays for 8 days. We had the entire house and attached units to ourselves. The property itself is located on a wonderful, serene plot of land. Plenty of wildlife running through. Its totally off the grid property with internet running at the lowest speed. Lovely home to unwind from the daily chaos. Few issues in the house though that need a upgrade. The couch in main living room, 2 of the seats are broken..one sinks in and the other seats metal frame is up so hurts to sit on that. There are 2 fridges in kitchen. Both without freezer. We asked Nic for one and he got us a freezer chest. The dishwasher doesn't clean well at all. We had to hand wash most of them after running the most intensive cycle. Kitchen is well equipped with glasswares, pots, dishes bowls etc. One Aircon is in the main room and other one at end of hallway. Fans do work, but as such not good enough for air circulation We had carried fans for us. Also TV n DVD players had no batteries and free to air channels wouldn't work. The shed which has sports equipment has no ventilation..Has many games but quite a few were broken. The hot water supply is great given we were18 of us taking showers. Apart from above, its a lovely house to go off grid and truly relax. The property owner/manager Nic was very communicative and helped us all the way.

Overall stay was wonderful. We couldn't use the two units as there was no access from inside.

Experience was wonderful location is isolated enough to have a great gateway. Owner was always available. We couldn't use two units as there was no access from inside and there was no sign outside aswell which could have been helpful.however we may consider this property again.
