Our dam is about 3 acres with an island that you can kayak around.
Great time had by all, plenty of room to run around and keep the kids entertained. Rolling in the autumn leaves was a highlight for the little one's..grounds were all mowed and tidy, thank you.
I doubt there is any better place to accomodate large groups for such a reasonable price
Plenty of activities for everyone already on site and house was in much better condition and cleaner than some other reviews made it out to be
Anybody looking to play golf at Buladelah the golf club knew exactly where to go with a shuttle bus to grab large groups for a very cheap price if you call and book in advance
Thanks for the stay!
Great house, clean, easy to find comfy rooms and beds, only down side is the property needs a bit more upkeep. The tennis court needs a pressure wash and the flora needs a gardener to trim the bushes. Other than that a very enjoyable stay
Itâs such a shame this property has fallen into disrepair. With a lot of TLC Iâm sure it could return to its former glory. Lights not working & ceiling fans just filthy. The list goes on. A thorough clean could go a long way. However the outside was really great. The pool area & surrounding grounds were where we spent most of our time.
We had planned to catch up with family and the location was a good half way point for all of us. Lots of bedrooms for us all a spacious kitchen and dinning and living room. Pool was clean. Pity it had rained so the spacious grounds were soaked and we couldn't really even walk on the grass! We did some sightseeing and walks. Some went golfing and some fishing! We did wine tasting at "The Great Lakes Paddocks" they were fantastic! Great space and very accommodating to our tastes! The only down side is the house is old and needs a little TLC. In some of the bedrooms the water pressure was low and a couple of couches were mouldy. The ceiling fans were really filthy too! Good space for big groups though.
Excellent stay for families, very private and isolated. I would definitely recommend this property for large families, they have a fire pit which was good for roasting marshmallows for the kids, a lot of ground to play activities on. I would recommend taking towels as these are not provided and tea towels as there was 2 available but when you have big families you will need more to help with the cleaning up. We would definitely be interested in future accommodation with this property. Thank you.
