Celebrated my mum’s 80th birthday at the property with 4 generations. We had the best weekend. Beautiful spacious home with scenic surrounds. We loved the fire pit, kayaks, space to play footy and cricket with the kids and the wildlife. Hosts were wonderful to communicate with and answered all our questions. One of the highlights was feeding the horses with the owner. A lovely family holiday!

Thank you so much Maryam for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again. :)
My family and I all stayed at this beautiful property for 4 nights and couldn’t have had a better time! The house itself was beautiful and the property was incredible. We woke up to horses at the fence every morning. The dam was lovely and clean for kayaking and swimming in. There was plenty to do. Being so close to Coolum we were still able to visit the beach easily and there were some great breweries right nearby. Fantastic for kids. Communication with the host was exceptional. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Shannon. We are so happy to hear you and your family had such a great time and enjoyed the house, the dam, and the beautiful surroundings. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime. :)

The property is VERY spacious and equipped with absolutely everything. The living areas were a little hot, but we were staying in the middle of a hot summer. My girls loved the horses, they were all renamed during our stay. My boy loved the kayaking on the dam.Beautiful view from the house, we were very comfortable.

Thank you so much Louisa. We really appreciate your lovely review and we hope you made some great memories during your stay. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed all that the property has to offer and that you were able to make the most of it. We hope to host you again in the future. :)
The property was absolutely perfect. The photos do not do the place justice. We were welcomed both mornings by the horses, and amazing views from the main bedroom. The owners and hosts were extremely welcoming, and offered support throughout the stay, however everything we needed was supplied in the property. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about booking here. There is so much to do in the area, and just as much to do at the property! Would highly recommend. Thank you for having us!!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
The house was beautiful with such a serene surrounding for a family getaway. The caretaker, Jeff, is super friendly and only a short distance away on the property should you need anything. The experience in the lead up to the stay was a bit tedious with the hosts needing full names and ages of all guests staying and repeated requests to send my ID and Credit Card through for validation. This is my first time using Stayz however have used multiple other short term rental platforms monthly and never been asked for this post booking. I travel for work and was away with limited service in the lead up to the stay and had the hosts contacting me very frequently and requesting the photo ID/CC to be sent off the platform. Just bear in mind to confirm your comfort with providing these details.

Hello Gordana, it’s wonderful that you loved the home and surroundings, and that Jeff was able to make your stay comfortable. We know the pre-arrival verification process wasn’t ideal timing during your work travel, and we appreciate you working with us on this — it’s simply a safety measure required for all bookings. We hope the rest and family time made the trip special, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime. –Eniko & Ryan
Highly recommended - Hard to leave this haven of peacefulness and beautiful hinterland country
The home itself was large and accommodated our 5 adults and 3 children perfectly, with everybody easily having their own space. Kitchen and living area fantastic and super-functional. Absolutely everything provided... great bbq and also fire pit where we roasted marshmallows. The kids loved the fishing (especially one of them), the huge expanse they had to run around and the well equipped children's room for when they were having 'quiet time'. The countryside, horses, cattle and the gardens were fantastic and it was hard to leave. Will definitely return. Thank you !!
