Holiday/work

Just 3 of us stayed which meant there was enough room to set up a portable in one on the bedrooms and work from “home” for the week. Quiet, comfortable, warm and the yard was big enough for 2 Jack Russell’s to remain occupied and safe.

Have stayed at both The Grove & The Ridge previously but wow the new place is stunning. Love that most rooms open into the verandah & we noticed some great light fixtures in the living area. Would be happy to go back in any season.

Relaxing stay

We had a nice relaxing stay in a newly built house. Very spacious, very clean, and river just over the road if you like fishing. Our doggies had a great time with the cows behind the fence, left them worn out! Only down side were all the flies and bugs outside. We went in April so maybe a different time of year would be better.

Amazing! Property manager was amazing. Easy and fast to contact. Helpful and accommodating. Beautiful property! Words and pictures do not do it justice. Exceptionally clean and tidy. Has everything you need. Sooo much space. My mother and I stayed there with our two dogs. The perimeter was completely fenced off. The dogs could be let off and out of the house without a worry which abundance of space for them. Quiet and peaceful. I could go on and on. You get the picture! We will definitely be returning and recommending it to all our holidaying friends and family! Thank you Sean and Family!

Easter stay

The new house is a real touch of luxury.The aspect of the house is positioned so you have an amazing view of the creek from the swivel couch in the loungeroom.I miss the old house as we have been coming to gunny every year for about 14 years.However it's really nice to enjoy our experience in a new very comfortable home.It is honestly the best way to de-stress and reset the batteries.Thanks sean
