Reviews
Fantastic stay
Steph M - 11th November 2024This property has so much to offer. With many rooms and more than enough bathrooms to accommodate larger groups, the different living areas and the games rooms (and an array of board games) provided such a lovely stay. Everyone felt comfortable and entertained, adults and kids alike. The deck is spacious and gardens lovely. We will certainly be back!
Wonderful place
jerry B - 7th October 2024We had a group of 4 adults and the house was sensational .. perfectly kept and clean with plenty of space.
Awesome house!!
Elaine H - 3rd June 2024This is the second time we've stayed here...amazing house for a couple of families. So much space and lots to do inside if the weather isn't that great - pool table, ping ping, foosball table, arcade games, books, lego, lots of games ! Great deck and we loved the outdoor fire. 5 bedrooms, 3 with ensuites plus another 2 bathrooms. So good. Walking distance to the Friendly Inn Pub and strip of shops and cafes. Thank you !
Absolutely stunning
Jacob - 12th October 2023What can I say. This place is absolutely stunning with incredible views and close to town. If it were possible I’d give 10 out of 5. It’s that good
The perfect home
Trisha - 14th September 2023Kooyong was the perfect home for our large intergenerational family to live in, relax and enjoy our brother's wedding in Kangaroo Valley. There were so many fantastic rooms and places within the house for everyone to enjoy together or alone, depending on whatever was needed. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped. We have stayed in many holiday rentals and this is always an issue - but not at Kooyong. The utensils, baking equipment, pots and pans, Nespresso machine (pods were generously provided), dishwasher and cleaning up things; plentiful supply of plates, bowls, cutlery, glassware for all guests; was so appreciated. The beds were all extremely comfortable. Nice linen, towels and if needed there were plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Also provided are quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand wash. Aesthetically the house, furnishings and gardens are gorgeous. Location is perfect, on the main road and near the Village Shops yet quiet and peaceful.
Great for a big group of people
Grace - 8th September 2023Loved staying at this house. It’s huge! Nice and close to town so it was an easy walk to the pub and cafes. Great for a big group of people. I would stay there again.
Amazing space
Anonymous - 30th NovemberSpending time here for a special family birthday was just perfect. Lots of space to eat outside and the grandchildren had a ball. The games room was particularly popular! It is quite rare to find a home with such space so we will all be back for the next birthday!
Plenty of space for us all
Anonymous - 30th NovemberKooyong was a great place for our extended family to spend a few days away. Plenty of space for us all. An easy walk to the centre of the village let us go to the Friendly Inn for a drink and dinner and perfect for an early morning walk for coffee. We will be back next year.

Just perfect
Anonymous - 30th NovemberWe spent a few days here when attending a wedding in Kangaroo Valley. Just perfect space for a group of friends, plenty of bathrooms too! Easy access to the Village and the bus that took us to the wedding. Could not recommend more highly.
