So spacious and beautifully appointed. I stayed with family members including children and the layout allowed us to have different activities going on with ease. This is one of the loveliest places I've rented. ##### LYNNE H. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Annie M. 17 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Summit House is a lovely house. It is in a fabulous location with beautiful bushland, kangaroos visiting and happy birds. The house was spotless and very well appointed. Some supplies were a bit light on considering we were a group. A couple of our group unfortunately arrived 2 hours early. The host was on to it immediately. He alerted me, I called my friends who realised their wrong and vacated again immediately. The ensuing communication left a lot to be desired. We were expected to then change our check out time to 8am from 10am citing something about a fridge repairman! There are always two sides to a story. Perhaps there had been really difficult customers at other times but I felt the response was over the top and not very hospitable or welcoming. ##### Annie M.
