Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen d. 20 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic place for a family getaway We stayed at the property for the King's birthday weekend, there were 10 adults & 2 kids & ample space for all with lots of games for the kids. Was a very cold weekend but the heating worked really well & the massage chair was a welcome surprise. The beds were comfortable & there was plenty of extra blankets & towels. Carly & Harrison have thought of everything & this home is perfect for a break where you don't have to worry about packing much stuff including soap, body wash, shampoo & conditioner. Would love to come back in summer & you won't need to worry about beach towels as there were plenty & I even spotted a gorgeous picnic basket. The only thing to be mindful of are the big mosquitoes that you have no control over because of the area. There's repellent at the property but they'll still get you. Communication was prompt & they were very gracious to allow for early check in even though we didn't require it. Thankyou very much Carly & Harrison for your beautiful home we hope to be back in summer & enjoy more of the outdoors. ##### Karen d.

We were a group of 8 adults, 6 kids & 3 dogs and the Quirky Thack was a fabulous spot for us to spread out and enjoy both the house and surrounding area. There were so many great spots inside & out for chatting & eating from sitting around the bonfire at dusk, around the outdoor lounge seating & all the cosy spots inside too. It was great to have a variety of toys there for the kids and the huge outdoor space was perfect for playing with our Aussie Shepherd & the kids, they all had a ball! Thank you Carly & Harrison for a great stay!! Hope to get back there soon :-) ##### Claire R.
