Reviews
Wonderful family holiday house
suzie riley - 21st March 2022Perfect house for a family of all ages. Tennis court and swimming pool make it fun. House was clean and plenty of space for everyone to sit together. Would definitely recommend this house.
great holiday house!
richard petaccia - 9th January 2022Fantastic place for a large family or multiple families holiday. The house was clean and all the rooms spacious with most with ensuites. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to use and clean and the cool room was fantastic. All our kids enjoyed themselves and we used the tennis court and pool everyday.
Superb Property
Dan Kezelman - 22nd December 2021We will be back
Fantastic property for a weekend stay!
Susie Lamb - 15th November 2021The property was wonderful and the rooms very clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was terrific and very well stocked with crockery, cutlery, platters and glasses. We used the bbq twice and didn't need to replace the gas bottle and didn't need to replace the chest high gas bottle either. There were no breakages and the remote batteries were fine.
Absolutely fantastic property for a large family. Highly recommend it.
Beautiful in real life
Lisa Deguara - 15th April 2021Thank you to the owners for our gorgeous welcome gift with local produce. We enjoyed our stay. Extremely comfortable and true to its online images.
Amazing property for any group, from families to business trips.
Best place for an extended family holiday or large group
Jenny - 24th March 2021We have just returned from a weekend away at The Milhouse Berry. What a joy to have a late departure of 4pm on Sunday! The place was PERFECT for our family of 14 - 7 adults and 7 children .... even though it was raining! There was plenty of room for the children to run about indoors and plenty of quiet nooks to sit and play games. The adults were also well accommodated. I loved the massive dining table where we could all sit together and have our meals and family chats. The table can sit more than our 14. There is a lovely fireplace in the lounge room which we used one night. The kitchen was perfect - plates and glasses galore, heaps of pots and pans, 4 sinks, 2 dishwashers, a large oven with multiple gas plates for the pots. There was so much room in the cool room for refrigerated items. And also a freezer. I loved the secluded little courtyards off many of the bedrooms. The grounds were beautiful with little private picturesque gardens throughout the property. The large vegetable garden was handy for some food items. There’s also a tennis court and swimming pool and an outdoor room with table-tennis and darts. I particularly loved that everyone had plenty of space and there were so many bathrooms. The bedrooms were massive and quiet, with their own separate air conditioner. Although this is an old house, it has recently been refurbished - new linen on the beds, new pillows, new fluffy towels, new blinds and curtains, new plantation shutters in the bathrooms etc etc. The laundry was great with a new large Miele washing machine and a new dryer. The manager of the home was very courteous and helpful. The location of this property is great - only 1-and-a-half hours drive from Sydney, it’s surrounded by paddocks, and only a couple of minutes drive into town to purchase fresh bread, or the famous doughnuts. I highly recommend this place for a large gathering of family or group. We loved our stay. I am not associated with the property in any way - I have given an extensive review as I realise we are one of the first to use it as a full rental property.
