River, pool, farm
We enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding on the river. Kids loved the pool. The view is beautiful and the house has plenty of space for large groups. Kitchen is well-equipped and there were plenty of cleaning supplies, toilet paper, linens etc.

The perfect country setting for a big family to come together. We loved the property and the accommodation both the little house and the big house, it was perfect for our family gathering. Loved the outlook from the front of the driveway and the back of the property so picturesque. We had perfect weather for a fire pit and just lazing around on the verandah. Was very happy with the whole weekend, would definitely go back.

A Pleasant stay in the Country
Our family recently stayed at this Clarence Town property for a weekend to celebrate 2 birthdays (one for 80 and one for 42). The group consisted of 6 adults and 4 children (aged 3 - 13) with the layout of bedrooms perfect for our needs (we did not require the 5th bedroom or granny flat). The bathrooms, kitchen and family rooms provided us with comfort and spaciousness with appliances, utensils and condiments completing our requirements. Being June the weather was not conducive to swimming in what looked like a fun place to be however the BBQ on the verandah was a winner. Our host (Glen) was more than helpful and his responses to our queries was exceptional. I can recommend this property to anyone seeking a pleasant and comfortable place to stay.

Relaxing get together with extended family
The property is perfect for our 3 families of 12 in total + a golden retriever (I think he enjoyed it the most!). We played cricket over sunset, swam in the pool under the mid-afternoon sun, cooked a bbq for lunch and dinner, the kids played board games in the living area whilst the adults chat or watch tv on the sofa. At night, we lit up a bonfire and roast marshmellows under a full moon. It was a great setting for my 3 sister's families to reconnect.

Family catch up
Great area , the young ones enjoyed the lovely pool, fishing and the outside area all having great time together. Good size home for a large family gathering and well equipped in all areas with lots of room for all, Little disappointed with some cleaning aspects -Bar B Q , Dishwasher had very bad smell we needed to run a hot/ long cycle through it , trays in oven with food still on them Freezer in fridge had blood in it, and some items needed attention as wire door and draw broke blinds of runners etc, Our family had very enjoyable time together catching up with good space for all , we appreciated the late checkout given . Well done Thank you Patricia

Celebrating 80 years
We had an amazing stay for our father's 80th birthday. We stayed for a long weekend and enjoyed our family getting together as we did when we were kid's ,now all with our own. This home has plenty to offer from chill out spots to big spaces to be together for meals and games, Plenty of fires and blankets for outside sing alongs, and a great space to enjoy playing pool and playing beer pong. when the weather is on your side the pool is perfect for a swim after a walk down to the river with the cows and kangaroos. My whole family said this was the best weekend away we have ever had and we HAVE to do it again

Fantastic Host and Great Property!
Glen was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was communicative, kind and went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. The property listing was accurate and was perfect for our group of 10. All the equipment was functioning well. There were plenty areas to hang out. the place was stocked with everything we needed from condiments to board games. 10/10 experience, would highly recommend!
