Amelia - 8th October 2024Moosewood was a great long weekend getaway for our family. Plenty of activities for the kids and teens, heaps of beautiful wildlife, fresh air and relaxation. The house is spacious, comfortable and chic.
Moosewood is absolutely beautiful
Rebekah - 22nd September 2024Moosewood is absolutely beautiful. The property is stunning from sunrise to sunset. All the wildlife surrounding the property makes you feel like you are really right out of the city. The pool had the most beautiful views also and plenty of room for laying around the pool and having time outside. The house is just gorgeous, I would live in it ! Has everything you need and more ! Highly recommend for a beautiful weekend away with plenty to do in the surrounding areas but also being tucked away in the gorgeous countryside.
Fantastic experience
Georgina - 23rd August 2024Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would not hesitate to stay here again. If you’re looking for a comfortable, stylish, and welcoming place to stay, this is it! We loved the wildlife, pool and pizza oven!
We will most certainly be back!
Ebony - 4th August 2024I’m not one to normally write reviews but this stay was too good not to write about! I could not recommend this stay more! We had the most amazing 3 nights here. The house had everything and more!! The location was private and gorgeous!! We were constantly finding new animals to watch roam around the property. The attention to detail to essentials but also activities made all the difference. We will most certainly be back!
