Stunning home for a getaway
Our group of friends (with little infants) stayed for 3 nights over a long weekend. The house was beautifully styled and thoughtfully fitted out. The kitchen was amazing to cook in, looking over the property and bushland, and we loved the comfort of the indoor fireplace, as well as the outdoor fire pit. Everything was very clean, well looked after, and family friendly. We instantly felt at home and would definitely come back for another stay!

Peaceful stay
We enjoyed staying here very much. The house is beautiful and has everything you would need but don't forget to bring shower gel, soap, shampoo and conditioner as only handwash is provided. Loved the fireplace and air conditioning kept the lounge, dining and kitchen warm. Heaters were provdided in the bedrooms as well as electric blankets. We would highly recommend this property. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and it was a shame that it rained during our stay andxwe couldn't use the firepit. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Fabulous property
A beautiful property in a lovely rural setting. So peaceful! Excellent amenities with electric radiators and electric blankets in each bedroom and ample firewood provided. Coffee pods and complimentary chocolates were a nice touch too. Kitchen is well stocked with plenty of cooking pans and utensils. Staying in winter was chilly but the supplied heaters were definitely effective and the beds toasty. The views were absolutely beautiful. Bathrooms a little dated but in excellent condition with a country feel to them. Plenty of very hot water too and fluffy towels. All in a very comfortable and attractive house.

Week in Penrose
We have arrived to ants and bugs infested house with dirty kitchen and dishes, garbage beans where full and my bath towel got holes in it. Resolving most important issue regarding full garbage bins took the majority of our stay. We have tried to contact Holiday Rental Specialists from the first day. I have sent SMS, called and left the message with no response, then I have sent email. After three days, they have responded with property manager asking me why it took us so long to report the issues and to present all evidence to support my complains. I have dedicated my time during holidays to provide all requested documents not to relax. I've felt offended by property manager, as she presented no proper follow up to my messages place and mistrust to me as a client.
