Jenn and andre M. Jan 29, 2023 09:00:04 PM
Summary: We stayed at skenes creek which they have no photos of the actual house but when we asked they said it just needed a bit of maintenance but when we arrived it needed more than just a bit of maintenance. And seriously need to update photos of property and some renovations but the land and the scenery and overall atmosphere it was good just need to fix the house for it to be fit for people be comfortable like need new mattresses and a new couch because the springs in the bed are poking through the bed into your side and the couch your better off sitting on the floor
Olena Z. Jan 2, 2023 09:00:04 PM
Summary: Excellent anyway
Renee T. Mar 18, 2022 07:26:41 AM
Summary: Absoloutley stunning gardens.. the house is older and had quite a strong damp, musty smell.. (i just sprayed essential oils around the rooms and lounge area) that was the only fault.. We enjoyed our stay and would go again..
MELANIE H. Jan 15, 2022 09:00:03 PM
Summary: We stayed here for 7 nights over xmas. The grounds were amazing. The house however needs heaps of work, very rundown! Very expensive for what you get. House needs to be bowled over or a massive renovation. Couch in lounge needs to go to the dump, toilet leaks, needs repainting inside and out. Bit dissapointed for the money we paid.
Sarah I. Jul 27, 2021 04:02:31 PM
Summary: Relaxing getaway, very old house (and dirty in some parts) but lovely garden, nice to explore, no wifi and poor telephone coverage which wasn’t too bad apart from the teens, would be lovely in summer. On the more expensive side considering cleanliness, no linen and bedding. Great to be able to take our dog however.
Greg E. Apr 17, 2021 08:49:12 AM
Summary: The location and grounds of this property are fabulous. The house however is ready for the wrecking ball. It is downright dangerous for small children, broken bunk beds, rusty steel fixtures and one bedroom is 150 meters from the main house! Doors don’t close. The septic tank smells. Wooden windows are rotten and don’t open. Drafts when it’s cold. Floor surface broken and uneven. Furniture is straight from hard rubbish collection. Doona covers and mattresses protectors are dirty. Lamps flicker with electrical faults. Branches rubbing on the house keep you up at night. No price point can justify this very low standard.
Georgia B. Mar 25, 2021 09:32:49 AM
Summary: Fabulous property with gorgeous land. House had a definite charm to it, beautiful fireplace and great social areas. The highlight was definitely the garden, it’s perfect for a game of rounders or a spot of fishing. Thanks for the stay! We’ll be back
Alison R. Mar 18, 2021 09:18:37 AM
Summary: Stayed with friends and kids and had the best time exploring
