Perfect weekend family getaway
Stayed with two families with young kids. The house was perfect and pleasantly surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked and generally felt like 5 stars. Quality bedding and extras! Plus the wildlife feeder and provided feed was a great bonus. Made daily visits to the resort facilities - pond, tennis court and pool. Will definatley visit again!!

Great for a Womens' Winter Getaway
What an absolutely wonderful destination for our group winter getaway! Our experience at this place exceeded all expectations. One of the standout features for us was the option to have all the King beds twinned, which was perfect for our group. The thoughtfulness of the setup truly catered to our needs. The communication with the owner was fantastic. I had numerous questions, and I reached out through the Stayz app. The owner's responsiveness was remarkable; she promptly addressed all my inquiries and never once made me feel like I was being a bother. She went above and beyond by even providing us with information about a local masseuse, sparing us the hassle of searching online. Opting for the pizza oven option was an absolute win, especially for our first night's dinner. The convenience of having this choice made our arrival so much smoother and allowed us to dive right into relaxation mode. The pizzas were delicious, and the whole experience set a great tone for our stay. When I shared a few minor suggestions with the owner regarding the check-in process, she was incredibly open and receptive. It's evident that she genuinely cares about the quality of her guests' experiences and is willing to make adjustments for an even better stay. Now, let's talk about the view—it's breathtaking. Waking up to such an awe-inspiring panorama and the friendly kangaroos was truly a highlight of our trip.

We had the best weekend away at this property. The location was fabulous and the property was so cozy and had everything we needed and more! We were three couples with three toddlers and a 5 month old baby. The toddlers adored hand feeding the kangaroos and the playground. We can't wait to come back in warmer weather too! Thanks for a superb weekend!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything you could possibly need was supplied. The wildlife greeted us immediately and the Roos were very friendly. The only negative is finding the house. I would recommend offering more detailed instructions on how to find it and a reference to the rough drive up the hike. A larger car is definitely needed.

Comfortable in every aspect and perched on top of the mountain, this beautiful retreat provided a perfect setting for our family getaway. Despite the rain all weekend, there was plenty to do and the property provided all the comforts, you could ever want or need for a little getaway. With a backdrop of stunning views all around and the company of birds, wallabies and kangaroos, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and we will definitely be back. Thank you

Our stay at valley view was perfect - Jodie the property manager was super helpful and easy to communicate with, the property was perfectly clean and looked even nicer than photos. The house was enormous and really comfortable, lots of common areas and nice open layout, cosy vibe for a winter stay (we stayed in summer but it rained the whole time so this was ideal!) would love to come back in sunny weather and use the pool/tennis courts and see the view! Really cute friendly wallabies hang out in the garden as well which is a fun touch. Loved our stay, would stay again!
