Multi-family getaway

Comfortable place, great for a couple of families. Large enough so we did not feel on top of each other. Enjoyed the bush surroundings. Loved the emus and kangaroos that came by each day.

Perfect for group

Although a little dated, this place was perfect for our needs. Lots of bedrooms and a full kitchen meant we could self cater. It’s in a quiet location and fantastic to just sit and chill after our function.

Dirty and unkept. Ruined our family get together in the Grampians

Rubbish all around the outside of the property from the bin, rotting green waste left in the kitchen, dishwasher left with food scraps and dirty water in the bottom, glasses cups and utensils all needed to be washed, stained carpets that don't look to have been vacuumed and stained bedsheets that don't look to have been changed. Several cockroaches had to be removed from the kitchen plus the smoke detector continually beeps. We changed the battery and it still beeped. Messaged the owner but still have not received a reply. Overall very disappointed. The place is large and has potential but is poorly kept with little evidence of it being recently used or cleaned.

Nice house but

The wifi didn't work, so all phones on Optus had no phone service. Neither of the TV 'S worked as they needed wifi. I had to hotspot one TV with my phone to watch any movies. The other TV had a Telstra TV box that had expired 2 months before! There was no information on the bins and the bins were full and out on the road our whole visit. The BBQ didn't work and was unclean, we had to go buy a lighter to get it working. There were little ants all over front and back door light switches and one switch was making sparking noise. We couldn't work out the property boundary so felt uncomfortable exploring the area on foot. Provided a nice coffee machine, but again no instructions so we had to work it out ourselves. Stains on my pillow case and sheets weren't on bed properly. Lots of cobwebs and dead flies. The pool table was fun, but only 1 cue in working order and the table wasn't level. Wonderful wild life at the door: kangaroo, wallabys, emus, birds

Not cleaned when arrived but great location

Disappointed when we arrived and property hadn’t been cleaned. Host got onto cleaner and they came out after a while but couldn’t do a lot until they finished which took a few hours. The property itself was just what we wanted, great outdoor space and plenty of room for our large group. For such a large group, we did find the kitchen area was a bit small and could’ve done with more cooking trays/dishes.

a little disappointed with the upkeep of the house. Rubbish over the drive when we arrived and bins over full. The towels had been folded and put on the beds but some still damp. We put them all through the dryer. Lots of the plates and cups had chips. Lots of spider webs. These are all minor things and such a pity to spoil your holiday home, in a great location.

Great place for families

Great place for grandparents and family. There was a master bedroom and bathroom downstairs. Lovely sofas downstairs with multiple living areas and a huge dining table. Great barbecue. The property was great for walks with our dog, outside seating. Lots of wildlife wondering through. Would definitely book again.

Despite assurances that cleaners had been in and cleaned prior to our arrival, the property was really dirty and inhabitable - we had to seek out alternative accomodation.
