Character filled retreat
We loved the character of the property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay on a very rainy weekend to celebrate several birthdays across a group of families. The layout of the living spaces was really comfortable and conducive to us all gathering together at one time or splitting into smaller groups to chat or play a game. There were a few leaks which wasn't totally surprising given the weather but none of them affected our stay. The fireplace was lovely, at times we found it a little challenging to manage and it could make the space a bit smokey and Id suggest packing warmly as the bedrooms could be on the cold side. The kitchen was well set up for us to cook our own meals but do note the cooktop runs very hot. The stairs and multi level living spaces worked well for the infants and almost 3 year old and we hope to return to the property for another holiday but may wait a while to do so as it would be very challenging for mobile 18 month olds to navigate. Tim was friendly and responsive to messages throughout our stay.

Family Celebration
Timbalah was perfect for our needs across three generations. The indoor space was roomy, warm, comfortable and welcoming. Most meals were prepared in the well organised kitchen...great stove! Billiard table, spa, open fire and easy access to National Park ensured we were all catered for. Many beautiful places to visit close by. Thanks to host Tim who made sure everything was well prepared for us.

Wedding weekender
We had a wedding at Mali Brae Farm. All the groomsmen needed a place to stay together and get ready. The place was lovely and open and Tim was great with communication about the house. The photos of the boys getting ready was spectacular. Only thing was pack thermals and extra blankets for the night, a big beautiful space is hard to get warm. Thank you for a great 2 nights in the Southern Highlands!

Beautiful house in a beautiful part of the state
Really lovely house that had plenty of space and beds for us. We enjoyed the pool table and fire pit as it was freezing (-1° for golf in the morning). Tim was beyond helpful and checkin was easy. Highly recommend for groups that just want to relax at the house as well, there’s plenty to do. Only a 2 minute walk to the falls is a big bonus as well. All in all a great stay

Amazing location for family getaway
Great location for the Grooms family to stay in. We had our wedding at Mali Brae Farm and being so close it was a perfect location to be close for the wedding. Everyone had a wonderful nights sleep and reminded them of a chalet. Thank you Tim for all your efforts and help with returning the Mother in Law’s dress from the wedding that she forgot in the wardrobe.

Great location and heaps of room!
Great house and property. The host, Tim is excellent and prompt to respond to questions when checking in. Great quiet location - super close to Fitzroy Falls and other fire-trial walks. The house is big and alot of room for everyone. Yet some love needed with cleanliness, few globes out and some lamps that don't work or not plugged in. More blankets to be available - as we got unstuck with a surprising cool weekend. Lastly, the Dining room chairs need repairing. Overall we all had a great time away in the house & cabin! We would stay again with Tim!

Disappointing
Bottom off front door roting . Downstairs bedrooms very musty need airing . All internal timber blinds need attention . Tv kept freezing . Cobwebs in both bathrooms . Stove never been cleaned . Dishwasher was still full .Kids we’re not happy with huntsman spider in TV room x3. Outside back off house needs a good clean covered in cobwebs. Spa was nothing like in the photos . Altogether house did not present as advertised totally overpriced .

Christmas escape
We chose this property as our first family holiday with our daughters as adults. It was spacious & well designed, with numerous lounge & gathering areas. There were ample lounges for everyone to spread out & do they’re own thing or come together for movies, games, pool or meals. The backyard spa was great (if a bit cool) & the pool table got a regular work out. The open fire even got cranked up when the weather turned cool. The bush land setting was very peaceful & explained the spiders & cobwebs. Tim (the owner) was extremely helpful with every issue or query we had. His responsiveness was pretty incredible over a Christmas holiday period. From restaurant & bush walking recommendations to providing a brand new blender & dvd player, we were blown away with his helpfulness. We’d thoroughly recommend staying at this property.

Great place but some small differences from the listing
Great place in a lovely setting. The listing didn’t mention that a BBQ was provided but there was one so that was a bonus. Bedroom 4 has a single bed and a bunk bed with a double bed on the bottom and a single bed on top rather than 2 bunk beds with 4 single beds. The incremental temperature labels on the oven have rubbed off so the oven is quite difficult to use. Otherwise great.
