There were a lot of dead ants in 2 of the bedrooms as well as live ones including in 2 of the beds. Given the dead ones I suspect this was known, but they need a better ant rid system. The shower downstairs barely has water running through it. Upstairs shower is good. Didn’t use the spa bath but looked nice. Soundproofing from upstairs to downstairs bedrooms isn’t great so you hear footsteps easily but to be expected in a timber house . A few spare blankets would be appreciated as the nights were cold and though there’s electric blankets and a wall heater in the living room, it was still chilly.

Lovely quaint house with a split system heated bedroom upstairs with ensuite, and 2 bedrooms downstairs with wall heaters that didn’t do much. Nice linen, a good supply of firewood and well drawing fireplace, and crockery and glassware that we needed. Lovely large block with a view, and kangaroos on the lawn in the mornings.

Nothing to note. There were a lot of ants, but that's what you get in the country. We really couldn't fault anything.

We had everything we needed, and the wine and chocolate were a lovely and appreciated addition. The open fire was heaven, as was the deep bath, and the stunning vistas out every window made it such a relaxing and special place to stay. Loved seeing kangaroos in the garden. Decorated beautifully, we could have stayed much longer.

Even more spacious and beautiful than we expected from the photos - a really lovely outlook to the garden and surrounding landscape, with lots of native birds and some kangaroos. Very well equipped and charming decor.

Noise from upstairs floorboards.

This is our second stay at Kookaburra Ridge. It's peaceful, gorgeous grounds, beautiful furnishings, the friendly kookaburra, country kitchen and the fireplace. Loved the thoughtful provisions too! Thank you!

A little concern with the step down into the lounge particularly on arrival. Is there a way to improve that without taking away from the lovely surroundings. Maybe a small line?

We loved the house and surroundings, and lucky enough to be there at a time to enjoy sitting on the veranda with lovely autumn colours.

Absolutely beautiful! It's clear that every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a worry-free stay. The place is stunning, impeccably clean, and set in a gorgeous location. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kookaburra Ridge

The step down into the lounge area being the same timber colour- potential to miss the step!

The outlay and outlook of the house, the amount of native flora and fauna on the block, the well equipped kitchen, warm bed, warm house on arrival, ambience , sharing of antique furniture.

Would be good idea to mark the edges of stairs on floorboarded sections.

Facilities, location, well looked after house and surrounds

the only small thing was that noise travelled from the upstairs at night, the floors were a little thin

it felt homely the moment we walked in, such attention to detail in every part of the home, very clean, the grounds were tranquil and it was so relaxing to sit in the deck with a glass of wine and a cheese platter. all the little extras were a bonus. we totally loved our stay, thanks for sharing your beautiful home 😊

The TV despite clear concise printed instructions was difficult to operate.Nil sound proofing in house, noise easily heard in all areas.There was nil instant coffee.

Beautiful tranquil large sloping garden including visiting native birds . Open fire that created additional warmth and cosiness . Generous supply of wood available. Lovely guesture to enjoy the chocolate and Italian biscotti with coffee.
