The location was lovely and the facilities were mostly clean. We enjoyed our stay here. I agree with one of the reviews as the cleanliness of the place was not the best - but I think it is because it is a pet-friendly location. The dishwasher was unusable as there was mould inside which did not disappear even though we ran the machine. Oven looked like it has never been cleaned and the utensils are everywhere. Other than that - it was a great short getaway in a very spacious and aesthetic house.

We had an amazing stay. We wanted a country getaway from our busy lifestyles and we got exactly that. The property was beautiful- the indoor fireplace was lovely and the whole place was so clean. Tim was a very good host, we really appreciated the extra touches of a bottle of wine and chocolates. The kids had a great time too, huge backyard and the walk to the falls was very easy,Think we might make it annual getaway with the family.Thanks Tim!

The house has so much space - it’s perfect for a big group. No one’s on top of each other. Beds were comfy Plus owner is so kind and made sure we had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Location is great too. There’s a playground on the street. And a small walk from Fitzroy falls Would add that if you have small kids - it’s a little sketchy walking on the main road with them - although it’s not for long. Anyway - house is great!

Tranquil break

Great location for getting away from the rat-race. Timbala is a very large property suitable for a party of 10 adults or up to 14 with children. The large kitchen, hot-tub and pool table were a hit.

Good space and great location- however not the ‘luxury’ as described in listing. House wasn’t very clean on arrival, bbq and spa were dirty and couldn’t use them, and the floors in house weren’t clean (we vacuumed on arrival). Dishwasher needs to be replaced. Aircon is only in the lounge room, upstairs bedroom couldn’t be cooled down on the hot nights as the ceiling fans don’t work. Carpet also needs replacing (its stained and dirty) and the fly screens fall out of windows. Fridges were pretty dirty. Basically has great potential but needs some serious work if you are going to describe this as a ‘luxury’ property !

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The house is very large and in a great central location with lovely walks nearby. There's a ton of room and the facilities were great (spa, barbecue etc). A few things to note: the master bedroom is not enclosed, so sound travels up from downstairs — something to be aware of if you wanted to have a sleep-in or go to bed before other guests. Some of the mattresses needed updating. Overall the house wasn’t very clean, which was disappointing. A little dated and in need of an update, we’d describe it more as a fun homestead for families as opposed to a luxurious country retreat.

Great getaway

This property is in a great location, easy to get to in the Southern Highlands. We were able to accommodate our whole family in the one location without being on top of each other. I think this will be a new trend for family get togethers on special occasions.

We had an absolutely fantastic weekend stay at this beautiful property. The house itself is amazing — spacious, stylish and perfect for our friends’ reunion. Everything was just as pictured and we had an incredible time.Tim, the host, was wonderful to deal with — great communication and very easy to chat with, which made the whole process seamless.As our stay happened to fall on a very cold weekend, the bedrooms at the back did get a little chilly — perhaps heated blankets or portable heaters could be a nice touch in the future.That said, this was only a minor suggestion — overall the property was wonderful, and we’ll definitely be back again (next time with my fur baby, as it looks very pet-friendly too!). Highly recommend!

Lovely retreat in the country

Very spacious house with cosy fire and comfy couches, surrounded by national park. Walking distance to Fitzroy Falls and easy drive into nearby towns. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed watching the birds. Lovely place to get away from it all and unwind.
