The property was exactly as shown in the pictures. Excellent communication, easy access and a gorgeous, quiet atmosphere. Perfect for those looking for a quiet escape close to Wollongong and Lake Illawarra. The welcome bubbles were a lovely surprise!

Lovey place

Beautiful place. Had literally more than we ever needed. Pictures don’t do it justice it’s huge and has a massive back yard. 100% would stay here again. Only complaint was that there were few cockroaches in the kitchen but once we got rid of them all was fine!

The house is a real gem and soooo lovely! So much attention to detail with the aesthetic and a huge amount of thought has been put into making guests feel welcome and appreciated. You feel like you've stepped back in time into an old farm house, but one that's really clean and has all the modern amenities.There were a large variety of welcome items left for guests which was a bonus. The price is a deal as not only do you get the gorgeous house, you get a huge grass back yard, a fire pit and outdoor seating.My favourite thing each day was to sit in the outside porch area with a hot cuppa, listening to the birds and enjoying the serenity. Jodie was super friendly and easy to communicate with too. We will be back!

Wedding day perfection

I booked this venue for my wedding party to get ready at, followed by me and my partners relaxing house to return to after the wedding. The communication prior was great, there was no issues at all.The venue is stunning and is beautifully furnished - it really is a romantic homestead. Even though it is in an estate area, the property itself is quite large and fenced with large hedges, so you feel isolated.The bride maids and vendors who saw it was all amazed, it is a great photo location for a wedding.We are definitely rebooking in future.

It was a pleasure hosting Dayna & her bridal party & then again the next night with her husband. They were wonderful guests who looked after & respected our property. Dayna was extremely easy to communicate with & she left our property lovely & clean. We have no hesitations in hosting them again anytime & we highly recommend Dayna to any other hosts. We look forward to seeing some photos Dayna & we thank you for choosing Stane Dyke Homestead for your very special occasion.
