Summary: The accommodation was historically beautiful and tastefully decorated but modern in appliances. Beautifully located with gorgeous grounds, The Rectory was a place of peace. Multiple bedrooms and gorgeous outdoor spaces made it perfect for us and our adult family and partners to holiday together. The location is within driving distance to walks, waterfalls, river and beach activities as well as dining and shopping.

Summary: We had an amazing stay at the rectory, it has so much character and beautiful grounds, the hammock was a real highlight! Our group of friends had such a relaxing time at the house and had no problems travelling to local beaches to cool off! We had a few minor issues (mostly r.e. cleanliness) while we were there, but Sue was receptive to our feedback and easy to communicate with throughout the process. The house did get a bit warm on hotter days, but there are ceiling fans in each room. If you’re particularly sensitive to heat and planning on staying in summer, we’d recommend bringing a pedestal fan or two to supplement! Overall, we had a lovely stay and would like to thank Sue for having us!

Summary: Kendall Rectory is a beautiful old home. The wide verandahs of a yesteryear building and the extensive grounds a haven to explore. It is a comfortable retreat with plenty of reading material, games to play or dvds to watch and music to listen to. We really enjoyed our girls weekend. Our host was easy to communicate with and ensured we had comprehensive information about our stay.

Summary: This was our second stay - and i have to say, once again it didn’t disappoint. The house, the location, the set up and inclusions - everything really is spot on. The house is really clean, beds are really comfy, kitchen has everything you would possibly need to cook a meal at home - have absolutely no complaints. Susan is a fantastic host, her communication is very prompt and nothing seems to be a bother for her. I would definitely recommend her place to stay - and in fact we are already booked in to come back for a third time. Thanks Susan. seems to be a bother for her.
