Great Spot
Great location and well maintained with plenty of activities for the kids. House had plenty of room for us and was nice and warm. Wide slashed paths through the property to the dams etc. Driveway had been repaired, access to the property was easy. Will definitely be coming back.

Lovely Country Weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Millfield and had a brilliant time. Beautiful setting, very peaceful and great for group of friends of 2 or even 3 families. Beds were comfy, house was very clean with a well equipped kitchen with everything you need. Just a few minor points to be mindful of: * There was no firewood for the indoor fireplace or outdoor firepit so BYO before you arrive * The track to the house was not easy for a 2WD, highly recommend a 4WD and one with high clearance * It wasn't very well communicated that guests are required to take their rubbish and recycling down to the gate so best to do that every time you head out (don't go looking for the bins in the garage, there aren't any :D)

The property is beautiful
It should be advised that it’s a rough drive from the street to the house. A small car would have trouble. We lost power for one of the days so this meant no water, showers or toilet as the water is on pumps. The is house very nice and the property is quiet and scenery is beautiful

Exceptional Stay
Our stay was beyond excellent, and I would recommend this property to anyone especially families. Absolutely everything has been thought of, and the small touches make the entire stay seamless and comfortable, which is what I imagine every family wants. Would come again.

Excellent stay
The airbnb was extremely clean and the amenities provided created a comfortable stay. Unfortunately, the Septic alarm went off between hours of 2-5am, however was resolved quite quickly considering it was a weekend by the property manager. Despite that, we would definitely stay again
