Summary: Beautiful surrounds - felt immersed in nature and quiet location. Kids had plenty to keep them amused - toasting marshmallows on the open fire, swimming in spa, lots of ball sports and admiring the lake.
Natalie Z. Jan 23, 2025 05:52:57 PM
Summary: We loved our stay, this property and home were amazing, and was above our expectations.This property is perfect for families and large groups. A well designed house with heaps of space and loads of outdoor activities to keep us occupied. You could relax in one space and have the kids playing in another space without hearing them!One of the greatest features is that this home has enough of everything for group, heaps of basketballs, forks and plates, chairs and couches.Would love to revisit!

Summary: We had an incredible weekend at this amazing home, perfect for our large family ranging from 2 months to 70 years. The kids loved the outdoor activities, especially the trampoline and swing set, and we had countless hours of fun in the swim spa. The house was spacious yet felt welcoming, and we particularly enjoyed the enclosed outdoor area with the open fire. The fully fenced grassy area was fantastic for the children to play safely, although our fishing attempts in the dam didn't yield any catches! Overall, it was a memorable stay, and we would love to return someday. Thanks, Sam, for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Summary: This place is great - definitely would stay again. Gorgeous house with a beautiful pond and well-stocked supplies of cutlery/crockery/glasses for 15 of us. Plenty of bedding options as well and the manager was super helpful in arranging a same-day fix of the spa for us to use it too!

Summary: Highly recomend
Robert W. Sep 22, 2024 10:20:29 AM

Mitchell S. Mar 24, 2024 10:01:59 PM
Summary: Was a really good weekend. Place was astonishing
Zoe D. Dec 18, 2023 10:09:07 AM
Summary: This is such a fabulous property. We spent a long weekend there to celebrate our parents' 50th wedding anniversary - children, spouses, grandchildren (and two white dogs), and didn't want to leave. Rooms aplenty, lots of space, spa an absolute success. We loved it so much we're going back over Easter. Sam was really helpful and responded to queries quickly. What would make this beautiful place even better would be some kind of shading over the spa (as sun can be biting) and grip on the flooring (mainly bathrooms and around spa/porch), as we found it quite the slip hazard. We're already counting down to our Easter trip!
Bernard N. Nov 9, 2023 09:00:03 PM
Summary: What an amazing house! We had 10 staff stay here as they were working in the expo at MotoGP. They all loved the house and preferred to shop in town and stay at the house rather than go out for meals. With all the different and spacious living areas no-one felt crowded and anyone could find a quiet space to relax. We will definitely be back in the future!!!!
Gabriela B. Jan 22, 2023 09:00:04 PM
Summary: Once again we had a nice stay at MR2 for New Year. Children and adults were happy. The property did seem to need a bit of care/update from past year. But overall a great stay once again.
