Jewel in Fitzroy Falls

Wow! My reaction when i walked into the door of the property. A large house with wide open spaces and plenty of space for an extended family stay. With a cottage at the rear of the property and spacious garden there was plenty of space for all. The garden attracts local birdlife and the property is located in a quiet area within walking distance distance of the waterfalls.

Wedding Weekend!

We celebrated our wedding at Mali Brae Farm, and a few of our closest family and friends had the pleasure of staying at Timbalah for the entire weekend. The location was perfect, just a short distance from the wedding venue.The house itself is spacious, with comfortable beds, and the BBQ was fantastic! The only minor drawback was the internet being down in the area, which resulted in limited service inside the house. Additionally, the property could benefit from a little TLC, but aside from that, everything was absolutely wonderful.Tim has been exceptional—extremely responsive and incredibly helpful both before and during our stay.

Great location for getting away from the rat-race. Timbala is a very large property suitable for a party of 10 adults or up to 14 with children. The large kitchen, hot-tub and pool table were a hit.

Very disappointed.

The property is tired. No internet!We had no hot water in one bathroom, which left us with only 2 working showers.The kitchen utensils, pots and pans were filthy, therefore we needed to wash everything before use!!The kitchen floor was dirty and we needed to wash it with an old, dirty and very smelly mop.

This property is in a great location, easy to get to in the Southern Highlands. We were able to accommodate our whole family in the one location without being on top of each other. I think this will be a new trend for family get togethers on special occasions.

Christmas getaway

We had a fabulous time relaxing and celebrated Christmas in this beautiful property with our four adult children their partners, grandchildren and fur babies. The house has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Our only issue was we could not open some of the windows to ventilate the house. and the fridge in the cottage was not working properly, all minor things that can be rectified. Tim is a great host and answered all our questions promptly. He made us feel welcomed and even dropped in with a gift to wish us all a Merry Christmas. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was perfect for us. It was large airy and bright. The kitchen was well appointed with everything one could possible need. The beds were comfortable. The showers were great. My only criticism is that I felt the house could have been freshly cleaned before we arrived. Some surfaces were sticky and the pots and pans were not very well cleaned as well. But upon saying that property is very liveable and we will return in thefuture wasn’t

Nice property, great location, needs some TLC

Lovely location for the property, I hadn't realised how beautiful Fitzroy Falls was. The place itself is a nice house, great big open plan lounge room and a nice dining room and lounge area with TV and pool table leading onto the garden. The main downside was the cleanliness, while most of the main inside areas were pretty clean the outside - windows, porch area, screens were grubby and need a good clean. Also the bedrooms look tired, marked carpets and there appeared to be no heating in the bedrooms. Not a big issue in late spring but I wouldn't want to stay there in winter unless there's heating I didn't figure out.

Great for dogs

There was 12 of us, so we used the cottage too. The place was clean and the ameneties fine. We had a fantastic time and it felt spacious. Close work to the waterfall but a shame that the cafe there was closed. It was cold and although there is a fire (which was great) and a aircon I don't think I would stay here during winter. It was a very good stay overall only two small issues. We could not find a key to open a side door which made packing and unpacking a little more difficult and also could not find a swich to turn on the roof fans to move the heat from the fire around. It is not really a luxury place but you would not really expect that when they allow dogs.

Seriously lacking TLC

This house has the potential to be great, lots of space and a nice private setting. However the whole property is in a complete state of disrepair. There is an enormous amount of work & clean up needed to bring it up to scratch, inside and out. Owner was lovely!

Wedding accommodation

I stayed here with my family for my wedding at Mali Brae Farm. It was an excellent choice, only a short drive to the venue. Its very peaceful and quiet, the perfect place to relax. We loved sitting around the fireplace, which was especially cosy. The beds are super comfortable and rooms nice and warm. Lots of games and a pool table for entertainment. Tim was always available if needed, and responded to texts and communication quickly and efficiently. We will absolutely stay here again when in the area. Highly recommend.

Character filled retreat

We loved the character of the property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay on a very rainy weekend to celebrate several birthdays across a group of families. The layout of the living spaces was really comfortable and conducive to us all gathering together at one time or splitting into smaller groups to chat or play a game. There were a few leaks which wasn't totally surprising given the weather but none of them affected our stay. The fireplace was lovely, at times we found it a little challenging to manage and it could make the space a bit smokey and Id suggest packing warmly as the bedrooms could be on the cold side. The kitchen was well set up for us to cook our own meals but do note the cooktop runs very hot. The stairs and multi level living spaces worked well for the infants and almost 3 year old and we hope to return to the property for another holiday but may wait a while to do so as it would be very challenging for mobile 18 month olds to navigate. Tim was friendly and responsive to messages throughout our stay.
