Easter Weekend Getaway

we had a beautiful Easter weekend away. The property was perfect for a family holiday with 3 kids and 6 adults. We enjoyed a stunning Easter Egg hunt in the garden, long lunch outside and the fireplace came in handy at night. Stunning property that was fun to explore with the kids and home was fully stocked with all the bedding, crockery and board games you needed. Really felt like we were able to relax.

Stunning property, perfect weekend

We had an incredible time at Igor’s property. The house and grounds are just breathtaking. My family stayed here for the weekend I was getting married, so we had some beautiful photographs taken the morning of the wedding. Igor was quick to respond to my questions and was a great host! Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here, it is stunning.

Amazing rural destination and super clean

We absolutely loved our stay at this Castella home! It was super family friendly with lots of space and room for larger groups. My favourite thing about the home was the area. The most beautiful garden and outdoor area you will ever find, we felt as though we were living in our own personal garden. The kids loved the trampoline outside. We had a very peaceful and enjoyable stay here!

House is in a lovely setting, picturesque. It was clean and easy to access. Host was very responsive to any messages I sent. Would have liked to understand better the steepness of the stairs for the upstairs bedroom. We couldn't find spare sheets to make up sofa bed and a few more tea towels would've been good. Plenty of firewood and the heater kept us lovely and warm. Recommended for families and groups who do not have any mobility issues.

Perfect getaway in Castella

The property was exactly what you see in the listing. There was 5 of us, and our dog, a Toy Poodle. Lots of room for all of us. Very relaxing time had by all. Quick response from Igor, with any queries that we had. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this house. I highly recommend it.

Wedding Weekend

We were lucky enough to stay at this beautiful home and use it for an intimate wedding with close family and friends over the weekend. The property was absolutely perfect for it, we had ceremony down under all the beautiful tall trees and then back up to the outdoor area to celebrate! So much space and an absolute dream for wedding photos. Didn’t even need to leave the property to have the best day ever! Would absolutely love to be able to spend another weekend here in the future 😁

Cambodian family enjoying the bush!

We enjoyed our stay very much, we had grandpa over from Cambodia, he enjoyed the peace and quiet and the beauty of the bush. Property was massive, the teenagers loved it, riding around, doing little walks around the property. Our doggo definitely made most of the size of the property, playing fetch everyday and exploring the yard. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and loved the property and what it had to offer. Thanks for letting us enjoy your property for the long weekend!

Nice getaway

Great little getawat for small gathering. House and location nicely presented and clean. Fabulous outfoor space. Would stay again. Found it hard to find / there was no spare bedding for the fold out couch and single mattress. The loft room was tiny and has no door so I wouldnt really call it a bedroom.
