50th Anniversary

The Quirky Thack is a great house for families, everything you can think of is supplied. Being a wet weekend Pool Table and Air Hockey very popular with the Grand Children and so many games we didn't know where to start, Blockbuster was a hit with adults and kids. Our hosts Carly & Harrison were extremely helpful Carol D

Amazing hosts and accommodation

A perfect house for 3 families to get together. The hosts are absolutely amazing - we stayed over a very hot long weekend and they cooled the house beforehand, checked in on us to see if we needed extra fans and were very flexible with check in and check out. Highly recommend!

Great place for family gatherings!

We were a group of 8 adults, 6 kids & 3 dogs and the Quirky Thack was a fabulous spot for us to spread out and enjoy both the house and surrounding area. There were so many great spots inside & out for chatting & eating from sitting around the bonfire at dusk, around the outdoor lounge seating & all the cosy spots inside too. It was great to have a variety of toys there for the kids and the huge outdoor space was perfect for playing with our Aussie Shepherd & the kids, they all had a ball! Thank you Carly & Harrison for a great stay!! Hope to get back there soon :-)

Fantastic place for a family getaway

We stayed at the property for the King's birthday weekend, there were 10 adults & 2 kids & ample space for all with lots of games for the kids. Was a very cold weekend but the heating worked really well & the massage chair was a welcome surprise. The beds were comfortable & there was plenty of extra blankets & towels. Carly & Harrison have thought of everything & this home is perfect for a break where you don't have to worry about packing much stuff including soap, body wash, shampoo & conditioner. Would love to come back in summer & you won't need to worry about beach towels as there were plenty & I even spotted a gorgeous picnic basket. The only thing to be mindful of are the big mosquitoes that you have no control over because of the area. There's repellent at the property but they'll still get you. Communication was prompt & they were very gracious to allow for early check in even though we didn't require it. Thankyou very much Carly & Harrison for your beautiful home we hope to be back in summer & enjoy more of the outdoors.
