Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kierah F. 10 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wow, what an incredible property, and so well managed by Kangaroo Valley Getaways. The booking process, key collection and directions were all very well organised. Important to note (which is clearly written in the listing but that I didn’t read thoroughly enough! It was fine though!) that the properly is secluded, and they recommend AWD or 4WD to access it on a steep and narrow paved track through rainforest. I managed to easily follow the carefully written directions that help you get there without service or accurate GPS, and drove up in my old Ford Focus on wet and dry days. The house and property are gorgeous, and so beautifully set up and maintained. We had everything we needed when we wanted to cook, relax, have a spa, or rest. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a relaxing time in nature to spend time together. My mum and I had a wonderful trip, and adored sitting on the back verandah, listening to the birds and drinking tea. I would love to come back at winter, as the fireplaces and spa would be cozy. We had a mix of warm and cool rainy days, and were able to open up the house or close it up with fans and an aircon unit that all worked well. The variety of birds you can hear and see is also incredible - my birder husband has demanded I take him back! Thank you for taking such pride in sharing this special home with us. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51e2625e-bde5-48a5-ac21-076d9622ac15-1770706869696.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/be01165b-76bf-4b93-bcb4-9b2bcddbd4a2-1770706870586.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kierah F.
