About this property
Millet House - Perfect for families sleeps 10
The Millet House is a luxury self-contained farmhouse set on the historic property "Melross" in Kangaroo Valley. Situated on 240 acres, Melross is widely considered one of Kangaroo Valley's most beautiful properties. Breathtaking views from the house look out across the hills into the spectacular cliff escarpment that surrounds the entire property.
There are so many ways to enjoy your break at The Millet House on Melross - take long walks around the property and down to the river, wander down the country lane to collect some freshly-laid eggs from the chickens, lounge by the swimming pool and enjoy a fresh Espresso Coffee machine, create a feast on the barbeque and enjoy your meal with a glass of local wine, cuddle up by the open fireplace, or just sit back and watch the animals graze and soak up the stunning views from the verandah. There's nothing better than a home-cooked dinner enjoyed outside on the deck gazing at the perfect valley stars.
However, they choose to spend their time all our guests at Melross say the same thing: we never want to leave!
Only 5 minutes' drive and you are in the charming township of Kangaroo Valley, which features the lively Friendly Inn and a select choice of cafes and restaurants.
Please note that there is a 2-Night Minimum Stay.

We had a wonderful stay. The surroundings are truly magical and it's the perfect place to unwind from the hectic city life. It's very close to Kangaroo Valley Village so great for coffees and ice cream. We also loved the farm animals and fresh eggs.
Beautiful house and exceptional grounds. Host is very responsive and the house is well equipped. But the mattresses would need some updating as they are quite uncomfortable.

Dear Elodie,
We are very sorry to hear that you found the mattresses uncomfortable. We have never had a complaint from any other guests staying with us. Wishing you a happy new year.

Terrene and John
What a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. Truly tremendous, thank you. The photos on the website truly depict this wonderful place. Thank you to our hosts xx
We had the most wonderful weekend at Millet House in Kangaroo Valley. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.The hospitality started before we even arrived. On the morning of check-in, Terene called to ask what time we'd be arriving so she could leave the lights on if we were getting in after dark. It was such a thoughtful touch and immediately made us feel looked after.Walking through the door was a genuine "wow" moment. The house was warmly lit, a candle was burning, and soft music was playing in the background. It felt less like checking into accommodation and more like arriving at a home that had been lovingly prepared just for us.The house itself was spotless, beautifully presented, and well equipped. Every little detail had clearly been thought through, with everything we needed already there. Throughout the weekend, whenever I texted with a question, the responses were prompt, friendly and helpful.Our fur baby, Gucci, had the absolute best time too, which made the weekend even more special.I couldn't recommend Millet House highly enough. Thoughtful hosts, beautiful accommodation and outstanding service from beginning to end. We'll definitely be back!
Loved Melrose-Millet house. Well equipped, linen supplied, comfortable, offering four bedrooms and very spacious living area for a group. Thank you, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The house and property were perfect for an extended family vacation. Plenty of space inside and out - plus stunning views. Very clean and well presented.
We loved our stay at Melross in kangaroo valley. Great location, lovely house, real fire, heated pool, fire pit, lovely hosts and more.
Definitely recommend.
Thank you Terrene and John

Hi Anne, thank you so much for your review of The Millet House on Melross, we really appreciate your rating and feedback! We take pride in making our homes feel like a home away from home - our surrounding views are another bonus on top of that! We hope to see you back in the new year.
Thank you Terrene and John, we had the most fabulous family Christmas getaway. The house was so well equipped there was nothing we could asked for. Such a beautiful property and all the beds and couches were so comfortable. The hosts were so lovely and welcoming and we appreciated the lovely welcome Christmas gift.
Had a great time for a girls weekend away. Nice and close to Kangaroo Valley shops and cafes. Loved the citrus trees in the backyard and the cows wandering past. Thankyou.
It is lovely to stay here. The Valley is magnificent & you get to see the animals. Reminds me of growing up on a farm.
Great if you also have a four legged family member.

The property is everything I read on the reviews and more. The relaxing feeling of the views in the morning is hard to describe.
The house is perfect for family time together but also offers privacy for rest.
Very clean and comfortable beds and a well supplied kitchen. The gardens and overall green is very well kept. We will be back.
Property was is excellent location and the surroundings were very scenic and the grounds were a great area for the kids to play.
Some of the lights need replacing but the property overall was very well presented. thank you to the hoists
We enjoyed our stay at Millet house. The house was on a lovely country property with beautiful views every direction and a quick drive into the little town of Kangaroo Valley.
There was lots of room in the house for all our families and the kids loved the pool.
Communication with Terrene and John was easy and they always replied quickly. Check in was easy as well.
