The house was able to accommodate all of us comfortably. Bunks were a little uncomfortable on the mattresses, but I guess that's mainly for little kids that don't weigh much.

Jan 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Great Property, Confusing Price Our stay had one very serious negative, but other positives. I'll try to be balanced. On the positive side, the house is lovely, it’s what was advertised. It has a nice view of the bush and was clean and well prepared. On the negative side, we didn’t confirm final numbers until well after booking. When we did, going from 2 adults / 2 children to 4 adults / 5 children, the price doubled. This amount was never disclosed and was debited from our account as soon as we adjusted the numbers. That experience set us in a negative mood. Perhaps we were naïve, but we were used to properties adding nominal fees if you add extra people to a full property that you have booked. We didn't expect the price to double. We’ve given the property a reasonable score because it deserves it, but we weren’t happy with the clarity or communication style of the property management company. ##### Stephen D.

The kitchen is well stocked with tea, coffee and basics like sugar and oil for cooking. The smart tv was a hit with us all (the toddler was very happy to see ABC Kids). There are a great range of toys which my almost 3yo loved. The best thing is the view and the bird life. We had so much joy in watching birds come to feed at breakfast time and even the toddler loved spotting kookaburras! The central heating is fantastic! We were here for the coldest day of winter and got snow! The whole family really enjoyed our weekend away to the mountains and would definitely come back to Sherilee's Rest ##### Lisa J.

The house has underfloor heating and a well stocked kitchen with basic cooking essentials and nice crockery and glassware. It also has a wood burner which had a fire set and ready to go and some spare kindling. Bring your own matches. Unfortunately the property manager didn’t seem to be aware of the extra nice touches, when we inquired before our visit. The outlook and local bird life was lovely.

Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Candice P. Jul 8, 2019 #### Wonderful Family Retreat We had a wonderful time in this lovely little house. There is plenty of space for 10 people to enjoy yourself with a lovely back deck onto bushland. A very treasured place for memories. ##### Candice P.

It was comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The trampoline, toys, bbq, hammock were great source of entertainment. It was spacious for 4, we would be happy to return here with a larger crowd. ##### Mariet S.

The fixtures and fittings like furniture and kitchen, beds, bathroom were all of a great quality which made 'living' there enjoyable. We also really enjoyed the back balcony that has a lovely outlook, outdoor setting, hammock and swing chair. The only slightly annoying things were that the BBQ was unusable because it was so dirty under the plate and the other thing was that the indoor dining table did not have 6 chairs which meant that depending on whether we were eating inside or outside, we had to take chairs with us. We had massively varying weather from 14 deg and rain all the way to 38 and sunny. The house temp sat in line with the outside temp so 38 was pretty exhausting. Overall, an enjoyable stay though :-) ##### Felicity L. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen A. May 31, 2017 #### Amazing place Beautiful property in an amazing location. Clean, cosy and very well maintained. The selection of games and DVDs in the study kept the kids entertained when the weather decided to scupper our bushwalking plans! ##### Helen A.

We loved our stay at Shiraleee's rest, and only wished we had booked for longer. The house was immaculately clean, with what looked like new floors and a kitchen. The beds were very comfortable (and the two kids loved that they could each sleep on a top bunk!) The kids loved all the birds that came to the birdfeeder on the back deck, and I loved just looking out at the national park -- so peaceful and relaxing. The location was on a quiet street, in a lovely neighborhood away from the tourist hub-bub. The walking trail to the local falls was very nearby and a lovely walk with the kids (unfortunately it had been really rainy so we didn't make it all way down to the bottom because of slippery rocks). We would love to stay at Shiralee's again, and will certainly recommend it! ##### Lianna S.

House had every we needed and the visiting cockatoos, Rosellas and king parrots were a bonus. ##### Cath This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### sarah Apr 30, 2016 #### Relaxing and family friendly We had an amazing time. House was relaxing and big enough for two families and very close to the shops. The kids enjoyed playing in the garden and it was a quiet neighbourhood perfect to unwind and put our feet up. Thankyou ##### sarah This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann L. Feb 29, 2016 #### Very relaxing home This property is lovely - wide verandas all around with gorgeous bush land behind. Stunning birds come to the balcony to feed. Modern bathroom and well equipped kitchen and a second toilet. Great for kids with a netted trampoline and lots of board games and books to enjoy. Highly recommend to families traveling by car. ##### Ann L.
