The garden is beautiful, it’s very peaceful and fully fenced so I felt it was safe for my two frenchies, they could just wander around. Easy come and go access through electric gates offering easy onsite parking right in front of The Barn. I would highly recommend The Barn it’s a lovely place to stay. ##### Chloe B.

An ideal place to stay when we drove down from the country to visit our daughter and her two little girls. The mini tennis court, (rackets and balls provide) and grounds were ideal for the girls to play when visiting us. Karen provided a lot of extras, particularly in the kitchen and a welcome bottle of wine, fruit and biscuits. A washing machine, and soap were also provided. Linen was first class. Check in was four stars as we had difficulty opening the lock box (perhaps user error) however help was quickly provided. The use of the veg garden was a bonus. Wonderful friendly host and of course, Jesse the gorgeous dog. Highly recommend. ##### COLIN B.

Our host was very welcoming and provided us with little surprises of wine, Easter eggs and fresh fruit. A very secure and quiet property with lovely manicured gardens for our dog to explore. We loved the adjacent half tennis court for our family hit and giggle session, for which our host provided racquets and balls. Local maps and recommendations of dog friendly parks and restaurants were also provided which was fabulous when you are not familiar with the area. ##### Samantha S.

The property was clean with everything we needed for our stay and the location was quiet and peaceful with the advantage of only being a short drive to shops and services. It was lovely for our dog to be able to run around in a beautiful secure garden. Thank you Karen and Jesse for making our stay so easy, next time we will have to stay longer!! ##### Lisa P.

Immaculate stand-alone accommodation in a beautiful setting with a lovely host. What more could you ask for? You can pick veggies from the garden. Plus, there’s a tennis court and BBQ available for use. I can’t recommend the Barn House more highly. ##### Janet S.

It was absolutely perfect as our dogs had just come out of quarantine, and they had the space to run around as the property is gated . Karen the owner is so lovely and friendly , leaving treats for us and treats for the dogs too . The peace and quiet was so nice , and the keoride bus can pick you up outside and drop you in mona vale/ warriewood for about $4. So nice to have a pet friendly stay and would totally recommend this lovely place . ##### Lorraine W.

The property was extremely clean and had lovely touches such as beer, wine and Karen had even bought us Easter eggs and treats for our pup. There isn’t anything I can fault with the property and Karen is a great help with advise on places to visit etc. Thank you so much we’ll definitely visit again! ##### April F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin M. 4 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Karen’s barn was absolutely perfect for my partner and I and our two dogs.

Karen and her gorgeous pup Jesse were so welcoming, easily accessible but we also had total privacy. The property was very clean, and super cozy. We had everything we needed and more, and the little touches made a huge difference (cold beer and fruit, yum!). Karen made sure our puppy was at home too, with bowls, towels, and a bag of treats. Karen even followed up when I had to go to the hospital, checking on me regularly. We will absolutely be back - Thanks Karen and Jesse, for a lovely getaway! ##### Joel M.

It was lovely sitting outside in the gorgeous park like garden or letting the sea breeze flow through the house. Our dog Ollie loved the garden which was amazingly secure for a small dog. We also enjoyed the half tennis court and playing cricket on the lawn. The location is very convenient to friendly village at Elanora Heights as well as quick trip to cafes at Narrabeen, dog beach at Bayview and Newport Arms. We also had no issues working from home with great wifi. Highly recommended for a relaxing break in the northern beaches. ##### Amanda E.
