We had a fantastic stay at Narre Haven. Everything was as described and the price per night was incredibly reasonable. The owner has gone above and beyond to ensure the property has everything you could need. We truly appreciated not needing to buy foil, or salt and pepper and other spices that no one wants to have to buy on a relatively short trip. The home also came equipped with some essential toiletries, dishwasher tabs, coffee/tea, condiments and even milk! We loved the inclusion of toys and books since we had our 4 year old with us and didn’t want to bring too much from our home across the world to keep him entertained. The owner was very responsive and you can tell how much she cares about her guests experience. We would love the opportunity to stay again and we plan to be back in the coming years as we have family located close by. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property - it truly is a little slice of heaven!

Family Weekend

Once again our stay was relaxing and hassle free. Narre Haven is like a home away from home and the thoughtful gifts were a welcome surprise. Everything was spotless and it was a joy to stay at Narre Haven. Close to major shopping centers and our son and his family. We had a magnificent time. Our 3 year old grandson especially loved the fruit trees. Thank you Minette for making us feel so welcome and allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Quiet, clean and comfortable, a home away from home.

We stayed 5 nights while visiting family in the area. The house was spotlessly clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed (including a washing machine, a dryer and clothesline: essentials after several days on the road :) The location is quiet, and we loved the singing of the menu birds. The rooms are large and beautifully furnished. The walk-in wardrobe was a bonus, reducing the usual traveller's clutter of bags and bits. Another bonus is the parking at the front door - takes the ordeal out of packing and unpacking. Thank you Minette!

Bed needs to be replaced

Everything was good except the bed in the master bedroom was super squeaky as soon as you sat on it it made a noise, also tried to use the vacuum to pickup some hair and the suction on it was horrible for the amount being charged you think they’d afford a cheap vacuum at least even for under $100 you can get a decent vacuum

comfortable and cosy stay at narra haven

We were fortunate to have been able to stay at Narra Haven. We had a comfortable and pleasant stay. Beds and linen were comfy, bathroom was very clean, kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Enjoyed the lemons in the garden. A very thoughtful and generous host who made sure that her guests were comfortable during their stay.

Perfect for family

This little gem was the perfect solution for our homeless segment of relocating from Australia. Although small the house has plenty of furniture, bedding, storage, kitchen appliances/utensils, etc to allow you to have a daily routine even if you’re missing all your own things. The recently renovated bathroom is lovely and the location is perfect for families with kids as the walk to the playground/park is short enough for even little legs. The only watch out is the fact that the house was built on stumps which does result in the house not being the quietest house you can stay in, but the before mentioned conveniences outweigh this. Minette is lovely and very helpful.

Excellent Stay!

Minette provided us with this amazing unit to stay in while our home was being renovated. The property had everything we needed and lots of extras such as shampoo/conditioner, washing and cleaning products as well as a fully functioning dishwasher and citrus trees in the backyard which we loved! The unit is close to a park/playground which was fantastic for our kids. This unit is in a very safe and quiet neighbourhood. Thank you for a wonderful extended stay at Narre Haven.

Brilliant home away from home!

This neat, comfortable townhouse provided the perfect location for our family to enjoy a Christmas away from home, with all the personal touches and conveniences of our regular home. A comprehensive kitchen, complete with a selection of serving dishes, storage containers and cooking condiments made 'living and dining' easy. Personal touches like table linen, coasters, candles, complete selection of laundry and bathroom products were beyond expectation and gratefully received. The private back yard proved a shady and appealing spot for entertaining a small group. Amber Cres, is conveniently located to shopping, rail and the M1. I would not hesitate to recommend this delightful townhouse and hope to use it again in the future.
