The property is perfect for a large group with plenty of spaces inside and out to relax and enjoy yourself. Understand Lia country house is hard to keep clean but the house is well presented and only marked down as there were little things like rubbish bags not provided. There are some staples in the pantry and plenty of kitchenware for a big group. croc

We celebrated my father’s 80th birthday with the whole family of 13 adults. Enough rooms and the pool was great. The games room fab for the grandkids. Quiet location but close to everything with the car. Waking up to see kangaroos was an added bonus
6 / 10Average·Feb 2019
A very lovely property. Beautiful grounds and gardens. The house was very nice inside, Great layout.. But not as clean as we would expect for the price. The outside of the house was covered in webs, and the windows and screens did not appear to have been cleaned in years - definitely not as clean as they appear in the pictures. Some of the screens were in disrepair - Especially the screen doors from the kitchen dining area to the pool. Many holes. Inside the shower tile grout had mildew. The fan over the stove was not functional, and you could not open the windows to vent out the kitchen because they (and almost all in the house) were all locked. For the price we would expect to find the property in much better condition.
