We had a relaxing, peaceful stay at Balavil. Marcus is friendly, kind and helpful. The property is spacious, clean, very comfortable and very well stocked, including a generous, thoughtful goodie basket on arrival. All set in beautiful grounds, with lots of birdlife and nature. We had a lovely stay & really appreciated your welcoming, homely atmosphere. Thanks Marcus, Rey and family for sharing your sanctuary with us.

Fantastic stay with impeccable attention to detail in great location

I can’t say enough about how great this holiday unit is - everything you need spotless presentation and in the heart of the langhorne creek wine region. The welcome basket and food in the fridge was incredible and featured some thoughtful inclusions and touches - would 100% stay here again in a heartbeat

Great Place to Stay

This was a spacious cottage, perfect for a weekend stay. All amenities were exactly as described, plus some and the welcome basket of goodies was outstanding. The smell of the roses outside the front door, just enriched the experience - Definitely recommend it, and I will be back! Thanks

Marcus is a lovely, generous host who provides a clean and comfy bnb. And it was an actual bnb, VERY generously stock with everything you could want for a cooked breakfast, snacks and more. He was also gracious enough to offer early check in and late check out. Thank you so much Marcus.

A great place for a couple that enjoys exceptional accommodation, hospitality, convenient location

We are greatly impressed and it is well worth the money and the location which is only two minutes away from Strath. We will definitely be back. Marcus is a wonderful host and understands couple who want a quality experience and those who will look after and respect the property. The gardens are delightful, and the birdlife is prolific. It is quiet and the clean air is so calming.

Home away from home

Very welcoming especially the basket of goodies and not to mention what was in the fridge. Cupboards also full of essentials. Made it more special as we travelled with our two adult daughters, they had one room completely detached from ours. Only thing that we didn’t like were all the spiders
