Exceptional holiday retreat

We would stay here again in a heartbeat! This is a well maintained, beautifully presented holiday home. Equipped with an outdoor kitchen and multiple outdoor living areas it was the perfect set up for our early family Christmas. We loved the pool, tennis courts, ping pong and darts and all the necessary sporting equipment was provided. Inside the house was spacious and beautifully furnished.

Great place to stay when visiting the Australia Zoo

This may be the best VRBO we have ever stayed. With a pool, tennis courts, basketball hoop, ping pong table, out door grilling, fire pit - there’s plenty of activities for everyone. High end appliances, great layout, kitchen well stocked, multiple living areas for everyone to spread out, large lot to explore. Terrific and responsive host. They went above and beyond ensuring families will be comfortable staying here. You will not be disappointed with this property!

Something for all ages

The Glasshouse property was accommodation for all ages. From the beautifully kept grounds with tennis, basketball, pool, fire pit, table tennis, teenage hang out area to the beautifully appointed house. The family said it was the most comfortable bed they have ever slept in. Brigid was so helpful and responsive. If you need a place to stay where the kids can do their own thing then this is a great choice.
