Travelled with group
We understand that we need to bring some sheets and towels for this journey. However, we found that some of the beds did not have quilt covers, which was disappointing. Additionally, the freezer cabinet in the front house was full, leaving us with no space to store our frozen food. This required us to walk back and forth between the front and back houses, causing some inconvenience. Other than these issues, everything else was fine.

Short family stay
Although the property seems smaller than anticipated, it was still comfortable. It can do well with larger indoor spaces as the rain over the last couple of days confined us so. The TV reception dropped off a few times and there aren’t enough toilet papers resulting in us having to buy some in town.

Great house for big groups
Pros: We loved the house, thought it was better than the pics! The outdoor kitchen and dining was perfect for our group. Well appointed with lots of kitchen items. Loved that there was a cabin out the back for our friends with babies. The mountain view from the balconies was spectacular and lots of birds visiting including a black cocky! Cons: the house was very hot with only one aircon. Could do with a couple more ac units for guests in Summer. Couldn't get the hot tub to work properly. Didn't mind too much as it was a hot weekend, but would have been disappointed had it been cold weather. Overall we loved the house and the location.

Wonderful stay at beautiful, comfortable and spacious property in perfect location
We absolutely loved our experience staying at this property. There are two beautiful, comfortable and spacious houses with gorgeous decor, three very comfortable different living areas each with TVs, and clean and comfortable kitchens and bathrooms. The second house behind the main house was fully equipped with TV and lounge area, plenty of beds, a kitchenette and bathroom, and was perfect for relaxing. We travelled in a large group of family/ relatives, including younger children, and there was space for everyone. The location was excellent, with stunning views of the mountains. David was a great host and was very easy to communicate with. Will definitely be staying here again.

House Review
The location of the house is great with fantastic views of the mountains. The outdoor entertainment area was good for a large group. Similar to other reviews, we found the cleanliness of the house not up to scratch. Half eaten food left in the fridge, rubbish left in the ensuite bin and used towels left out, considering the price we were expecting a higher standard of cleanliness. One room has no windows and which got hot over night and another room is makeshift with no doors. Also no large area inside for lots of people to gather when the weather is bad.

Quirky and comfortable
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Meerijig. We felt at home in the house, and there were plenty of nooks and crannies with places to sleep. We enjoyed many meals around the big outside table, and found having access to the many ovens a dream. Thanks for having us David!

Great location, reasonably comfortable but for a large group, has some down sides.
Great location and fabulous views. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the deck where king parrots joined us! This place only had 3 bedrooms that had doors or were fully enclosed- the other bedrooms were either within a semi-open plan setting or were part of a makeshift set up. This made it tricky for our group that included various couples wanting some privacy. Also one bedroom was in a small airless, windowless space. Some in our group felt the bathrooms weren’t that clean and noticed used towels and sheets left in their room. Whilst there are a few different lounge areas there was no area large enough indoors for our group of 17 to comfortably gather together. There is however a large undercover outdoor area with tables and chairs. On arrival we couldn’t find any welcome book/ info on the house such as where to locate the wifi or how to use the idiosyncratic stove top. If you are a large group, want a place that is reasonably appointed, with plenty of beds/mattresses and are not too bothered where you sleep, it is reasonably comfortable but you do need to remember to bring your own linen and towels.

Great place for a getaway
We booked our stay last minute, but found everything to still be provided pretty well. The view from the house is amazing and this is a great place for a relaxing vacation. There were a few little things that could be improved. The property was dusty and very warm with minimal ventilation. Overall, we had a nice vacation away from suburban life, however we would recommend having an aircon with the house. Thankyou for having us!!
