Great views, plenty of room
The house was well appointed with everything you need for your stay. The main areas were clean, but things like windows, window shields look like haven't been clean for a while.

I have rented 15 plus holiday homes over the years and this one was absolutely disgusting
I have taken photos of everything front door wouldn’t close or main bedroom door or toilet door windows looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for months the kitchen the draws haven’t been wiped cleaned for yrs courtyard roof falling down I will never book a holiday again with you and I would like someone to ring me please and I have photos of all I have talking about

This was such a joy for the whole family. The children didn’t even register that there was a tv they were so busy outside. The garden and the reserve outside the fence made it a sporting paradise. Will book again without a doubt
I miss it soooo much! The kitchen was really good for having people cook at the same time and the sight seeing was amazing, lovely hill walk just outside.
We had a lovely stay at Minnamurra. The position was just wonderful with the lake and Mystery Beach our side your back door not roads to cross and a lovely Cafe up the street the local IGA is about 3 minutes drive away. The Kiama coastal walk starts at your back door also. The villa was clean and very comfortable for the 4 of us. A few spiders webs around and the villa is a little worn .These were the only concerns. The beds were comfortable and would definitely come back again.
Thanks for the lovely stay.
Beautiful spot, the house had everything we needed. Only negative, appears to be a cockroach and ant infestation and poorly cleaned. Other than that, it was beautiful
The aspect and location of the property is perfect for a quiet get away, but is close to many attractions, so you can choose either the peace and quite or many outdoor activities. Property was clean and kitchen appliances were both well stocked and good quality. The only improvement would be the sealing of the door frames when using the mesh doors as there are gaps which allow a few mozzies in. Would throughly recommend and would return
Thank you for having our family, it was a perfect break leading up to Christmas. We have stayed at your Villa several times and love the location, the river, Minnamurra and Kiama towns. The villa works well for a family group, the deck is spacious and perfect for relaxing.
Perhaps you could supply some unbreakable plates and cups for the younger family members. Thank you !
Each year my girlfriends leave SYDNEY to enjoy a weekend of relaxation.
Minnamurra was perfect. The view & location were excellent.
The kitchen is well equipped.
The rooms were spacious
The deck was perfect to sit and just watch the world go by.
Thank you 😊
The idea of the weekend away was to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Was a great location and goal achieved.

Disappointing accommodations but had a great view
This property was misrepresented on VRBO. Clearly someone had staged it for the photos but it did not look good in person, at all. If a place is staged on VRBO, there should be a disclaimer saying so. Other than the place being very "tired" and unappealing, the kitchen tile floor was cracked and when you stepped on the floor, water came up through the cracks! We had to leave early due to the leak and I assume it was repaired. This little "cabin" needs TLC. An area rug or two, a rug in the bathroom, soap in the bathroom, decent artwork, decor, and better beds. The "master" bedroom has an old 4" mattress sitting on 2 X 4's on a standard bed frame. Not good. I hate to be all negative - the view was phenomenal and it had nice little grassy fenced yard. Great for containing small children and dogs.
