Lovely weekend at Nagual

Nagual is an old house that needs a little TLC but overall it is lovely. Just a few things that we weren't happy with. We had to connect cables to work the TV. This was frustrating because you should really be able to just turn on a TV. After calling the agent he informed us that the cleaner sometimes unplugs a the power booster cable. Secondly the house is very dusty. A few people in our party had bad sinus problems due to the dusty carpet and fans. Cleaner is not doing a thorough job. The dishwasher also is very tricky to work. We gave up in the end as we were spending too much time trying to work it out. Beds were comfy and kitchens and bathrooms were clean.

From the moment we walked in there was a homely feel to the house. The heaters were on & the house warm & cosy. I loved the amount of kitchen appliances & equipment. I would definitely recommend this property for any large group or family. We have already agreed we would stay there again. Thank you Robert & Ali.

Rain rain go away

We booked for 5 days and left after 4 as it rained heavily every day. I slipped outside and broke my ankle so all in all not a good holiday. Nothing against the house, a little dated maybe, the connection ,stairs between upstairs and down made it feel like 2 separate places. Beds were comfortable.

Nagual retreat review, views are amazing!

This property is larger than the pictures show online, it is a great big home suitable for groups or families. It is an older style property but overall cleanliness was okay. We did find a used cooking tray that hadn't been cleaned in the oven. The bedrooms are larger and everyone got a bed which was great. It was cold and we would have loved to have made a fire, but wood is only provided in the winter months. We pretty much stayed upstairs most of the time as it was warmer, which was a shame as the downstairs was lovely, just didn't warm up enough. We did also have to call the owner out as a Bush Rat decided to come and visit the downstairs bedroom, and hunkered down for the night! The owner removed and got the cleaners in to clean the room and change all bedding. Overall a great spacious property with older style features.

Girls get away

This is a fabulous property in a great location. It accommodated all our needs and more. The bedrooms were well appointed except for the broken single bed in one of the rooms. Also the oven door was missing, which the owner advised us of, except we weren't told until the day before we arrived, which caused some last minute re planning. Also be aware of the costing for more than 4 adults sharing the property. All of our concerns have been addressed. The property owner and manager were very responsive to any problems and with booking. We would happily stay again.

Large house with lovely views

The house was much larger than we expected. Lots of room for everyone to break away and relax. The central heating was lovely on the top floor, but unfortunately this didn’t extend to the whole house. It was a bit drafty in some of the rooms, but there were lots of heaters to go round. The views were spectacular from the back deck. Great spot for a cuppa and book.

Great getaway from Sydney

We spend a weekend in school holidays with another family. The house is quite clean. A short drive to local supermarket and cafes. 15-20 mins drive to local attractions and famous tracks. Kids love the "loft room" in the house. We really enjoy our stay, will come back for sure.
