Not what we hoped for
I was genuinely excited to book our stay after seeing the stunning photos of this property, eagerly counting down the days until check-in. However, upon arriving at the estate, I initially questioned whether we were at the right place—the visuals had set such high expectations.
As we explored the grounds, I appreciated the natural beauty and numerous outdoor spaces ideal for relaxation and discovery, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts. However, our experience took a downturn once we returned to the house.
My daughter quickly noticed cobwebs in several areas, and our attempts to enjoy a game of ping pong were thwarted by a damaged table and broken ball. The foosball table was similarly disappointing; I couldn't even score a goal due to the cobwebs obstructing play. Additionally, one of the main doors near the pizza oven showed signs of neglect, with dead mosquitoes caught in the webs.
Compounding our frustrations was the television setup during our stay, coinciding with the AFL Grand Final. The lack of a modern smart TV, replaced instead by a basic Kogan model, detracted from our enjoyment. I later learned that the internet speed was inadequate for streaming, a detail that would have influenced my decision had I known in advance, especially with two kids in tow.
Lastly, I noticed that the dining table was covered in dirt upon our arrival, which added to the overall sense of neglect. Fortunately, our stay was brief, lasting only two nights.
