Great Looking Place
The master bed/bathroom is amazing. Great view of the rising sun from the bed. If only it had been warm enough for a swim. Would have been nice if it had a keycode lock instead of having to make a slight detour to pick up the keys.

Blissful home
The house is nestled into the hillside with the most stunning and vast views from Lake Alexandrina all the way to Port Elliott. It would have to be one of the most beautiful properties I have ever visited. Views from every bedroom, spacious, gorgeous bathrooms, extensive lounge, dining and kitchen which provided plenty of space for 10 of us. Sheep grazing on the paddocks, privacy, room to breathe and just enjoy and be. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space.

Beautiful house and fantastic location, but lacking luxury touches.
Fantastic home, divine view and location - we had a wonderful time together here soaking in the view, and loved both bath tubs and the pool (and pool temp). But, for a house advertised as a "luxury stay", and for the price - it really was missing the luxury touches - or any form or hospitality. I have stayed in homes all over the country - and the little touches make a huge difference. Simple things like leaving coffee and tea supplies, a welcome pack, shampoo and conditioner are expected for a "luxury" stay. Including notes or supplies for guests to make the most of the location (like chopped timber and kindling for a fireplace, or towels for the pool) is such a simple way to show hospitality. To request guests to unload the dishwasher before checkout or incur a large fee is mind-boggling - especially when you can't see how long the cycle has left. I think the house is a fantastic stay, but can't be advertised as a luxury stay without thinking about creating a welcoming, luxury experience for guests. Also, the two double beds (other than the master) are terribly uncomfortable and hard. But overall - a good house. Very clean, wonderful view.

Fabulous Accommodation, Spectacular View
An amazing property, with fabulous accommodation for 10 people. The master bedroom is breathtaking, and the layout of the building visually striking. The kitchen contained every utensil needed and was a pleasure to cook and prepare food in. Plenty of crockery and cutlery, pots, pans, dishes, serving platters, we didn't need to take a thing. There was also an abundance of toilet paper. The pool is fantastic and a fair amount of our time was spent in or by the pool. When self catering for 10 people for 3 nights, another fridge would have been useful. Overall we had a fabulous time and was a lovely way to celebrate my fathers significant birthday.

Feedback
We had a wonderful stay. It was comfortable and the views were amazing. In saying that, it was a property marketed as ‘luxury’ with broken crockery and very used pans and pots. In ‘luxury’ accommodation I think filtered water and ice would be something to consider providing. Some secondary feedback would be that the pool tiles were falling off as well which my daughter almost cut her self on. The final thing I will say is the 50$ surcharge to not emptying the dishwasher is outrageous. At a property marketed as luxury having to time how long the dishwasher would take so we could get out of the property by 10 is ridiculous. We would not stay here again for the cost. Half the cost, and amazing.

Swimming pool was the highlight of this property. Crystal clear water and warm enough to dip in even in a cooler temperature. Very modern and thoughtful equipment. Entertainment room could be expanded and include more games. A lock box would be Overall, it was a relaxing experience for our group.
