Winter break
Our family had a lovely 3 night stay here. The house is amazing - clean, comfortable, well furnished, with modern yet cozy decor. The grounds are well maintained, walking around is very peaceful and you feel you are remote, yet the place is conveniently located near Canberra. Loved seeing kangaroos wander around nearby, and views of the mountains to the south. The owners are lovely. No complaints and would strongly recommend this as a "country cottage" style break from the city / work. We didnt want to leave, and will be back again!

A perfect large and comfortable house for a family gathering, set on a beautiful property. The bed configurations were flexible to suit our needs.

Home away from home
We had a great experience with Barbara and John in Wallaroo. They not only allowed us an early check in and late checkout if we needed, they were more than accommodating of anything and everything we needed. The property itself is gorgeous and the sunset views are to die for! We stayed over Christmas and hosted two families with comfort. A portable crib was available for our newborn and little decorations to really make it feel like our own. Beds were all very comfortable too which is always a bonus. We will definitely be booking again when family next all travels over to Canberra for an extended stay.
