Family holiday

We were a family group of 12 adults and 9 children and this was just perfect for us, kids loved watching the horses come out and go in each night, we all had enough space and having seperate cabins was really good and the msin house was big enough for us all to cook and gather in

Thank you Mia, so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that the property was a perfect fit for your family group. It’s lovely to know the children enjoyed watching the horses, and that the separate cabins, along with the spacious main house, gave everyone room to relax and come together comfortably. We really appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you all back for another memorable family getaway! McGrath Port Stephens

A wonderful location suitable for all ages and a large group. My extended family enjoyed this stay, including the horse riding experience. The children liked some of the toys and cuddly cushions on the beds. Possibly adding some more board games and cards, etc for adults would be appreciated.Some attention is needed regarding safety, especially with large groups where there is movement from one place to another. Possibly placing a gate in the fence, closer to the house/cabins. The pathway between the house/studio/cabins is risky, and one adult took a tumble. The other concern was the cubby house, (which the children loved). It seems that the opening at the top may have once had a slide or fireman’s pole? Possibly, this gap could be reduced or slatted? Overall, we loved the experience and it’s wonderful to be able to find a place that could accommodate my family. Thank you!

We have passed your comments on to the owner so we can continue improving the experience for future guests. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back again.

Week long break with extended family

It was a great trip with plenty of space. Having the main house as our entertaining area was fantastic and everybody still had their individual space in the cabins.Everything was clean and tidy and the kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of clean towels and beds. My only criticism would be the back sliding door on the main house the rollers appear to be non-existent making the door extremely difficult to open.

Thank you Graham for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that the space worked well for your extended family and that everyone was able to enjoy both the shared areas and their own privacy in the cabins. It’s great to know the kitchen and amenities were up to your expectations too. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us, and we’d love to host you and your family again! McGrath Port Stephens
