The property is in a beautiful, peaceful location where we could watch the cattle & wallabies & listen to the local bird life. There was plenty of space for our group of 13. The home was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We spent lots of quality time together & also spent some individual time doing our own things (hiking to the top of the ridge, swimming, playing cricket, going for a bike ride). I would love to bring the family back another time. ##### Lisa A.

The house is big, really well laid out for groups and was really clean and well cared for. Everything we needed (outdoor fire pit), well located kitchen close to eating area so the cooks could still chat and be close to the action and a great sunken lounge for games and laughs was there. We didn't use the pool (winter) but the outdoor deck in them morning sun was fabulous. Thanks Robyn for providing such a great home for us and we are pretty sure we'll be back (the locals at the Rathdowny Pub said we were welcome next year)! ##### Heidi F.

Our family group was 7 adults and 5 children from 8 to 2. The place allowed people to enjoy some space when required but to be together for some great fun. We did bring toys but there were plenty there for all tastes: the "dress up" box provided much fun for the kids imaginations. There were plenty of birds and also saw kangaroos amongst the cattle. All in all a great getaway - the kids especially were not happy to leave. ##### Nick Y.

(My eldest son's best friends and their little families are included). We have been taking the kids away nearly every Easter for about 15 years now, and have created so many wonderful memories. It's hard trying to find a house that accommodates all of us, and then one day we stumbled across this place. It was way better than we could imagine! There were enough bedrooms for everyone, three bathrooms, so many areas to relax and hang out. The kitchen was a great size, and had absolutely everything you could want and more! Everyone loved the pool, though it was a bit chilly at this time of the year. They still jumped in after going down and exploring the river and going for a bush walk. We hung around the fire pit every night, or when it rained, came in and hung out in the family room and played table tennis and board games. If you have a big group, don't hesitate to book this place, as you won't be disappointed. Everything is lovely and clean, the beds are comfy, and there's heaps of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. 💯 would stay here again!! ##### Carolyn T. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maddy K. 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend away with friends Eighteen Mile Homestead had everything we needed for a short trip away with friends and children. The place is spacious and clean. The kids loved the ping pong table and pool, as well as the games and books. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for self catering for groups. Thanks for a great stay. ##### Maddy K.
