Guest Reviews
- sami jo (10/5): - Everything. Good spot good price great little holiday house
- Preetie (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay at Whispering Woods — it exceeded all our expectations. The property had everything we could have asked for and more. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and I honestly had the best sleep I’ve had in a very long time. Waking up to complete peace and quiet, surrounded by such beautiful views, was truly magical.
Dennis and Bronwen were also such warm and welcoming hosts, which made our stay even more special. We already can’t wait to come back and book another stay with them soon. Highly recommend!
- Greg (9/5): Relax and enjoy the Victorian countryside - Property had everything you needed for a short stay , well organised and very relaxing
- Anne (8/5): Relaxing and a fun place for couples to stay. Close to town. - The amount of rooms , and facilities. A fantastic place for a group of people.
- Vicki (10/5): Fantastic - Every thing great place to stay pool was amazing games room had my elder daughter playing games great place so quite oh the pillows are amazing and beds
- Pamela (10/5): We really enjoyed our two night stay - Everything pool area was great
- Hopkins (3/5): -
- Ben (10/5): - Amazing facilities and the hosts were very accommodating.
House was extremely clean and pool area was exceptional.
- Sonya (8/5): Hopefully stay again soon 😍 - How great to have a sauna then a lovely swimming pool which can be used as a plunge after sauna then a spar in the house Wowee , host was lovely and great space for our dogs 🐕 .
- Fernando (9/5): Superb -
- Dean (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fink (8/5): Very good -
- Lorena (1/5): Unsafe place led to injury - Plenty space inside the house.
The swimming pool was the attraction. Several things to do not comeback:
- The access platform to the pond appeared to be in acceptable condition; however, it is structurally unsafe. While I was walking on it, the platform collapsed, resulting in an injury that continues to affect me. The owners have not accepted any responsibility, merely instructing me to await contact from their insurance company. They have not accepted at least to refund our payment or any assistance with medical expenses.
- outside the house, sitting area, couches, table and chairs were extremely dirty and with spiderwebs. When attempted to clean the couch near the swimming pool in order to sit down, it emmited clouds of dust.
- Additionally the outdoors couch located at the opposite site of the swimming pool has a damage roof cover and cannot be used, I had to use random objects to prop up the roof and get some shelter.
- The fencing of the house consists of black plastic pallets, which are home to a significant number of spiders and spiderwebs.
- There is no airconditioning in all bedrooms, the nights were extremely hot and we had to sleep with doors open but still didn't help.
- The reservation details indicated that the property is pet-friendly. However, we were made aware that being pet-friendly does not imply that there are no pet fees!, and we needed to pay for our beloved cavoodle. After arriving, we were also informed that the dog was prohibited from being in the swimming pool, and his option was only the dirty pond.
- Prior to our arrival, we inquired multiple times about the possibility of checking in one hour earlier. The responses we received primarily addressed payment for the dog or an additional guest, emphasizing the need to bring cash. Unfortunately, we never received a confirmation regarding our request. It seemed to be all about the money.
- Sue (10/5): Amazing place for a holiday - The heated pool was amazing. Kids really enjoyed themselves. The host were amazing as well. Caring and ensuring that everything is met to our needs. Nothing. Everything was excellent.
- Jessica (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed my stay - Property was perfect. Heated pool, sauna, lots of fun activities for the yard and pool area.
- Kavita (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicholas (8/5): Very good -
- Kushanthad (9/5): Superb -
- Hsiao (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (9/5): Enjoyed our stay, in the Roomy, Clean, Comfy House, with all we required. A tick from us. - We found the House to be great. It's an old House, but has been renovated and is very clean. Our stay was for three days and everything we needed to enjoy it was available. We had two couples and we both had King Beds, which were very comfortable. Having our own Bathrooms was also a Bonus. The House itself is extremely roomy. It is only a very short drive to the center of town as well. The only negative was the TV Signal, which took a bit of getting used to, but seems to be the same throughout the town.
- Lorraine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Valerie (7/5): Great space for everyone - Enough beds for a big group and comfy, great to have two bathrooms, heating keeps house warm Would have loved wood heater to be available
- Peter (10/5): Highly Recommended - A large house set in peaceful surroundings, minutes from the town. We were a party of six, and there was plenty of room for more. The bedrooms are spacious with soft beds. The kitchen had every item that you could possibly need. Outdoor pool and facilities, unfortunately we were in Winter, but we hope to come back in Summer. The owners are very highly organised, everything neatly arranged. Highly recommended. Nothing
- Glenn (8/5): Unfortunately, the hosts poor behaviour ruined what could have been a very nice experience. - Very clean, close to town, nice house that had everything you need, The hosts arrived at the house upset about us accessing the premises early despite being sent the code to the lock box. The woman's behavior was confrontational and made us feel uncomfortable & unwelcome. Our meeting ended much better than it started but the damage had been done.
- Pam (10/5): Hosts were very accommodating. Would recommend this place to stay - The place was very cosy and being out a bit felt very private . We had a little dog who loved the enclosed area which was quite large . Overall a nice place to stay. Amenities were excellent Nothing
- Peter (7/5): overall very good and we will stay again if we are out that way again - it was great thank you location was good and in summer would be awesome with the pool and dam area. The house had everything needed to be comfortable recommendations would be gas in the bottle for the BBQ and some fire wood on hand even if its to be purchased so the outdoors area can be used with travelling to town to buy wood.
- Bruce (4/5): Frustrated that basic needs were not addressed for our arrival at otherwise attractive property. - House was clean, tidy and orderly. There were wonderful outside facilities like pool, BBQ and outdoor dining setting which would be great in the summer months but of no value for our visit. The property location is in a quiet area just out of the town. The Kitchen was well set with utensils, crockery etc and there was a drying rack for washed clothes. The bed mattress was very comfortable. Access to Stan Movies.
After our departure Owners informed us that they had positively responded to our main issues detailed below and subsequently installed a Wardrobe in the Master Bedroom and are preparing a budget for the future installation of walk-in shower in the Ensuite We were frustrated and insulted to be locked out of bedrooms with wardrobes and the shared bathroom which had the walk-in shower as well as a toilet we expected to be available for our family and friends lunch guests. Also we had to ask for blankets as only light covers were on the bed even though 5'C overnight temperatures were forecast. We were informed by the owner that they did not expect such were needed as the bed had electric blankets! Anyway warm blankets were provided - but our experience has been that additional blanket options were always provided at the location for use at our discretion. We were frustrated by the allocated bedroom not having wardrobe facility.
Took a while to work out how to access Free to Air TV Channels as there was only internet TV streaming available - Owner assisted in setting easier access to
- Hayden (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful home, very comfortable
- Cornelius (9/5): Superb -
- Escobar (7/5): Good -
- Craig (8/5): It was a great get away and the private pool was appreciated - The pool was awesome Other users had left the property disrespected
- Rito (8/5): Very good - We liked everything that was there it is a charming place to stay
- Sandra (9/5): Would stay here again. - Secluded property. Good sized fenced yard for the dog to run about. The pillows were very soft and not very comfortable as I have a bad neck but otherwise the beds were comfortable and it was a very nice place to stay.
- Ward (8/5): Very good - The pool was awesome. The hosts where lovely and where there to help out with maintenance of the pool. Plenty of space to take dogs for walk and throw the ball, Bins where already nearly full on arrival. Could do with bigger bins.
- Wildlife (8/5): Would stay here again. - Excellent location, only 5 minutes to town.
Beautiful pool and outdoor area.
Excellent kitchen and facilities.
Great for family groups.
We loved it and I think most people would be very happy too. Overall it was a wonderful stay, I just think the place needs a little maintenance. Gaffer tape holding the towel rack up, for example.
Just little things that are no big deal but it may be good for some people know; only one dish washing tablet, one garbage bag for a four night stay, one towel each (same for pool/bathroom).
Would I stay again? Absolutely. Its just little things.
There is an adjoining little cabin, so be mindful that you may be sharing the property.
- Vicki (9/5): We arrived early (thought check in was 2pm not 3pm. We were made to feel welcome - Safe for the dog to be outside
- Emma (8/5): Great property and pool, the host checked in too much. Other than that, a lovely stay. - The property was great and the beds were very comfortable. Overall it was a great place and the pool was lovely. The Host came onto the property 4 different times which felt unnecessary. Especially when the listing specified that it was private and that it was self check in. It felt like the host was “checking” up on us which felt like an invasion of privacy.
- Joan (6/5): We were disappointed with the property as far as being able to sit and relax in the outdoors. The outdoors area needs at - Spacious inside the house and plenty of comfortable beds. The bathrooms and toilets are great for use by a few persons.
Kids liked the pool. The outside did not look like the photos as fencing is now around a front portion of the house. The only garden is the circular bit at the front where the car park is. The back area very barren and uninviting. The pool gazebo locked and not available for the kids to relax in.
- Tipene (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dianne (10/5): Exceptional - We absolutely enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts Dennis and Bronwen were fantastic in every way.
- Tricia (10/5): Exceptional - The house is really nice and so well set out for groups, lots of beds. Great location only a short drive into town.
Loved the pool area but unfortunately wasn't warm enough for a swim.
Dennis & Bronwen were lovely host, very helpful.
- Ben (9/5): Superb -
- Dinusja (10/5): Exceptional -
- Claudine (10/5): AMAZING TIME AWAY - We loved the location, not too far away from town and not too secluded either. The house was amazing, so beautiful, the pictures don't actually do the house justice. So many areas for people to hang out in. The pool was phenomenal. An all round amazing place to stay. The owners are genuinely lovely and sweet people. Had a lovely time having a chat. Thanks for having us, we are planning our return 😀
- Knuckey (10/5): We loved our stay at this property! - The location of the property was great, roughly 2km from centre of town. The property has plenty of room for families, or cosy enough for a couple. wanting privacy. The owners were very friendly and helpful making the stay stress free. There were sheep grazing on the property. who came over for pats! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our saty! Overall, the property was excellent!
- Mason (10/5): One night stay for work conference. Great facilities. - Convenient, clean and great for colleagues.
- Niamh (10/5): Exceptional - The property is a short walk from the town centre set in a beautiful quiet area.
The house was immaculate and had everything you could possibly need for entertaining outdoors and indoors with lots of soft blankets provided and a huge tv! The hosts were extremely helpful and gave us a very warm welcome! Unfortunately the pool was closed during our stay but other than that, everything was perfect!
