Summary: Great communication with the property. We stayed here before the wedding, morning and evening after. It was perfect for both parties to get ready. It created a very calm, relaxing space for us all. Just amount of space for all of us to get ready and have some lovely photos on the grounds before the ceremony. All it needed was a spa and it would be perfect. Would highly recommend this place for your pre-wedding escape or even just a lovely little getaway.

Summary: Generally good. Bbq was very dirty so couldn't use it. Had to call property manager to give us batteries for remote and leave shower gel in bathroom. Sofa chair leg was wobbling- almost fell. Property in general is good though but should have been managed well given how expensive it was to get it.

Summary: We reserved this property as accommodation for our team that travelled in for our Christmas Dinner. We spent the afternoon drinking wine out on the deck and discussing how much each one of us would love to have a property like the HUS Art farm. It's perfect! Big, awesome stable doors that open up to let the light in downstairs. Huge tall vaulted ceilings with open beams. A huge amazing yard with a pond with two big resident ducks. A deck that made us almost miss our dinner reservation as we lost track of time! I would rent it, I would buy it, I love it!

Summary: Beautiful location, would be a great place for wedding/function! Heather was easy to deal with. She popped the horses in the top paddock so they were nice and close for my daughter to pat which was a lovely touch.
