Great getaway

This property is in a great location, easy to get to in the Southern Highlands. We were able to accommodate our whole family in the one location without being on top of each other. I think this will be a new trend for family get togethers on special occasions.

Jewel in Fitzroy Falls

Wow! My reaction when i walked into the door of the property. A large house with wide open spaces and plenty of space for an extended family stay. With a cottage at the rear of the property and spacious garden there was plenty of space for all. The garden attracts local birdlife and the property is located in a quiet area within walking distance distance of the waterfalls.

Awesome weekend

Timbalah was a fantastic venue for my birthday celebration. Tim, the owner, was awesome and very kind. We loved the place and it was made even more special by the fact we could take our dog.

Wedding Weekend!

We celebrated our wedding at Mali Brae Farm, and a few of our closest family and friends had the pleasure of staying at Timbalah for the entire weekend. The location was perfect, just a short distance from the wedding venue.The house itself is spacious, with comfortable beds, and the BBQ was fantastic! The only minor drawback was the internet being down in the area, which resulted in limited service inside the house. Additionally, the property could benefit from a little TLC, but aside from that, everything was absolutely wonderful.Tim has been exceptional—extremely responsive and incredibly helpful both before and during our stay.

Lovely retreat in the country

Very spacious house with cosy fire and comfy couches, surrounded by national park. Walking distance to Fitzroy Falls and easy drive into nearby towns. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed watching the birds. Lovely place to get away from it all and unwind.

Loved our stay at this property! Was a great location for day trips as well as being really close to the walking track to Fitzroy Falls. The house is huge, with an awesome fireplace that kept us warm. The kids loved our stay and had a great time.

Beautiful house in a beautiful part of the state

Really lovely house that had plenty of space and beds for us. We enjoyed the pool table and fire pit as it was freezing (-1° for golf in the morning). Tim was beyond helpful and checkin was easy. Highly recommend for groups that just want to relax at the house as well, there’s plenty to do. Only a 2 minute walk to the falls is a big bonus as well. All in all a great stay

Very disappointed.

The property is tired. No internet!We had no hot water in one bathroom, which left us with only 2 working showers.The kitchen utensils, pots and pans were filthy, therefore we needed to wash everything before use!!The kitchen floor was dirty and we needed to wash it with an old, dirty and very smelly mop.

Christmas getaway

We had a fabulous time relaxing and celebrated Christmas in this beautiful property with our four adult children their partners, grandchildren and fur babies. The house has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Our only issue was we could not open some of the windows to ventilate the house. and the fridge in the cottage was not working properly, all minor things that can be rectified. Tim is a great host and answered all our questions promptly. He made us feel welcomed and even dropped in with a gift to wish us all a Merry Christmas. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was perfect for us. It was large airy and bright. The kitchen was well appointed with everything one could possible need. The beds were comfortable. The showers were great. My only criticism is that I felt the house could have been freshly cleaned before we arrived. Some surfaces were sticky and the pots and pans were not very well cleaned as well. But upon saying that property is very liveable and we will return in thefuture wasn’t
