The size and lay out of this property was excellent for our large extended family. The property is well fenced and great for kids. A few items require maintenance, but overall a very nice property in a good location. Not convinced that there are any fish in the dam!

The property well and truly catered for a large family group celebration. Everyone had privacy and room to spread out for down time. The outdoor fire, bar area and spa was a huge hit. The host communicated promptly and was flexible with my requests which was greatly appreciated.
