A real palace! The location, the palace, the furniture and facilities were amazing. Very tastefully decorated. If we were not married yet, we would consider hiring this for our wedding.
Great house in a great location. More than enough space for 8 adults. Quiet and peaceful surrounds

Whistler 1 was a wonderful place to rent in Jindabyne - once we found where it was. Even in broad daylight finding the right property was a challenge. The search was well worth the effort as the accommodation, equipment and furnishings were all excellent. Even if these things hadn’t been top notch the expansive view over the lake from all the windows would have more than made up for any deficiencies - had there been any. Highly recommended without reservation.

Great spot, close to the beach and shops and still feels quite private and chill. Lovely backyard, beautiful furniture! Love the place!

The property was great value for our family and friends’ stay. It was well-equipped and perfect for a short holiday, meeting all our needs with three little children

Unforgettable Bali Escape! Pura Indah completely exceeded expectations, delivering the Bali magic at home without the crowds or the flight. We were awestruck by the sheer size! The genius layout features three separate bedroom bungalows connected by a walkway to a massive, open-concept main living area. The lack of solid walls (just windows/doors) makes the space breathtaking and tranquil—we felt instantly at home. The welcome package was a delightful surprise, and we loved feeding the goldfish. One week was far too short—we can't wait to return! Highly recommended for a luxurious, unique, and peaceful escape. Thanks Antje it was unforgettable.

Very clean and well maintained. Nicely decorated and maintained. Loved the pot plants and the undercover area out the back! Was even better than the photos which is rare. Thank you.

The house is nicely located, across from bush and walking tracks with friendly neighbours. It’s large and has lots of space for a big group. Bathroom very clean. Unfortunately other aspects of the house were very dirty. The lounge furniture was stained, the pool dirty, bbq unusably dirty and pots and cutlery (in cutlery drawer) very dirty with dried food. We had to clean the pool before use and wash pots and cutlery before use which was very disappointing. This didn’t match expectations nor the effort of the landlord to otherwise make the home comfortable and well presented. The managing agent did reimburse the cleaning fee following complaint.

Well maintained place as described. Request for late checkout was appreciated and communications were prompt. Would come back.

Beautiful property. Very modern, comfortable and spacious. Better in person than even the photos present. Fantastic location - walking distance from Palm Cove esplanade. Antje was an outstanding host. Very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. My family and I would 100% stay at this property again. Absolutely recommend

Absolutely gorgeous place. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was spectacular with the views overlooking the mountains! Pool was super clean and great condition too. Can’t wait to come back here in the summer time!

Fantastic location, nice and clean and had everything we needed. Had a great time in Cairns, We did hire a car, but we could of walked to majority of the places that we wanted to go to. The car park was easy and fairly spacious. Could see the cruise ship from the apartment which was a bonus, not at all loud. Pool, spa and sauna was nice too. All beds were comfortable as were the pillows. Washing machine, drier and dishwasher all worked well. Lounge was comfortable too. We just opened the sliding doors and let the fresh sea breeze come through. Oh and gorgeous ocean view too. We will definitely stay here again
