Plenty of room for 8 adults and 5 children with room to spare. Facilities were excellent with favorable comments from each family. Kids loved the community facilities - pool, yabbie pond, and playground. Plenty of wildlife to entertain us -kookaburras, kangaroos, AND a goanna! The pool table was a hit with the adults once the children were in bed. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience was had by all. Recommended.

We are a group of 5 families that come together every king's birthday Long weekend. The house was perfect for our needs.All the parents got a room with an ensuite and there were three rooms and an extra bathroom that were set up to accommodate the 12 children. There were plenty of bed options. The kitchen had all the utensils and crockery to accommodate our group of 22.The outlook was beautiful. There were plenty of activities for the kids to enjoy in the shared facilities (table tennis, tennis, pool, playpark). The house itself had a, outdoor spa, pool table and a volleyball net and basketball hoop out the back.There was something for everyone. Perfect getaway for families with children.

Amazing stay

We had a great time at Jamevin! All the bedrooms are large and most have ensuites which our guests loved. The main kitchen/dining/lounge area is huge and has all the things you could need for a stay. Amazing views and loved the spa. Only downfall was no wifi and the mobile data is patchy.

The road up the mountain was exciting. There were 11 adults (3 generations in our group). We all walked up the hill to the recreation area and used the pool, tennis court and ping pong table. The house provided plenty of space in the kitchen/dining room for us to enjoy our Mexican evening and pool comp.All 11 of us agreed the accommodation, views and amenities are 5 star and perfect for a fun weekend.
