Family Birthday Celebration

We loved our short stay at Katandra and didn't want to leave. The homestead is full of warmth and character, with the open kitchen/dining/lounge area, fire place and the wrap around verandah being the focal points for us. We also rented the separate cottage, also with a great view of the farm and the lake. Our dogs were kept comfortable with wide open space and fenced enclosure when needed. The wood fired pizzas are a must do for this property. We highly recommend this property for those wanting a comfortable and intimate stay. Recommend you bring all supplies needed for your stay, as the road into Coomba Bay is not in great shape.

A great spot for a weekend with old mates

Spacious and isolated which was great for a group of old mates, Excellent wide verandahs to laze about on and enjoy to view, a good chat a glass of red. There were a few maintenance issues but overall great spot for a weekend away with old mates.

Perfect Farmhouse Stay

We travelled here over the new year period for 6 nights (6 Adults). The owner was very quick to respond to all our messages, even getting us an early check-in which was great! House was immaculate with everything you need, including a huge Veranda with a dart board. We opted to have the sleep out too. Great decision! Wood fire oven got an absolute workout while we were there. Best Pizzas ever! the walk down to your own personal wharf is not too far. around about 200m or so. Super peaceful in the morning time! wind picks up in the arvo so get down there early!! 10/10 great house. great spot, extremely isolated! Would stay there again in a heartbeat Matt

Full of character

The house was full of charm and character. We had a rainy weekend unfortunately but the house was perfect for it with that lovely fireplace. 6 adults and 2 kids stayed for a weekend and we all had a great time. Some pros/nice touches: - they left us a bottle of bubbly to welcome us - the owners were around fixing things next door (so we didn’t ever really feel their presence) and we’re responsive to any issues including bringing a full gas bottle they had noticed was empty and fixing a lock/door - a decent amount of firewood was supplied, but we brought extra to crank it up over the weekend - the house and bedrooms are all as per the pictures and lovely Cons (to be fair and honest): - the sleep out door didn’t really shut properly but the owners sorted out a solution pretty swiftly, though we would have been in trouble if the wind hadn’t blown the door open to alert us to it. - the exhaust fan in the kitchen was broken - could do with one additional oil radiator heater as the sleep out had to rely on the reverse cycle which aren’t ideal for sleeping but that’s really nitpicking... Can’t really fault it more than that and we expect these kinds of things with old homes. If you’re thinking of kayaking - yeah it’s probably a bit too long a walk carrying a kayak to the water. Wifi was all good. Not much close by for food so roughly 10-15 min drive to cafes, etc. All in all, we’d go back to stay again in a heartbeat. The owners are great and the house is lovely and full of charm. The deck is a thing of beauty so maybe we’ll be back in the summer! I’d rate it 4.5 based on the couple of minor issues but that rounds up to 5, 4 would be a bit harsh.

Tranquil Retreat

This is a quiet, quirky rural property with Wallis Lake access that is full of old fashioned charm. It was a brilliant place to stay for a quiet family double birthday reconnect getaway that was close to home.

Family/dogs/jetskis-GOLD

Two families stayed, inluding two labradors and two jack Russell dogs. Laura has the place set up-magic country charm- if u like a Beer or wine to settle ur nerves/watch the dogs run around/nibblies platter as the sun settle -fire pit and the BBQ to finish/ - doesn’t get any better. Sounds like a novel!!! We launched our jet skis down the road-smashed up to the Forster for coffee, then out to sea to watch the whales, back in the river to s

Tranquil and relaxing

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Katandra Homestead. The house was very comfortable with everything you need for a quite country getaway. The kitchen and living area was inviting and the fireplace created a lovely ambiance. The beds comfortable and north facing so a lovely winter sun every morning. The deck area has several places to sit and enjoy depending on the time of day. The outlook across the paddocks to the lake was beautiful. The beaches and townships are all very close with nice places to eat and get a morning coffee. A special anniversary was the purpose of our stay and a bottle of bubbly left in the fridge for us was very much appreciated. Would love to return and soak up the atmosphere again:)

Fabulous!

We could not fault our stay. We are a family of five, which includes two tweens and a 19-week puppy. We all had a wonderful time that was equal parts exploring and equal parts relaxing. Thank you!!

Spectacular outlook and wildlife at your door

We have just spent a great family weekend at Katandra. The homestead is very well equipped and cosy. The outlook is amazing and we all enjoyed the variety of birdlife, deer, horses, cattle, flying foxes, micro bats and rabbits. Visits from the neighbours very friendly dogs and chooks were welcome and especially entertaining for our Granddaughter. A great place for a quiet getaway and we would happily return.
