Rosie

Just had a wonderful long weekend in "The Residence", and highly recommend it for a large group. The house is nicely renovated and the 5 bedrooms were beautiful with comfy beds, the kitchen had everything we needed for the 10 of us. The pool and BBQ were an added bonus, and the location was awesome. 10/10.

Danielle

This was a great stay! We booked the Bimbadgen Suite with the bath on the balcony and were not disappointed. What an amazing location to sit in a bath, watch the vines and kangaroos, listen to a quite special bird concert and sip sparkling wine… really happy we went!
