The pool table was put to good use. The gardens and pool area were exceptionally maintained with loads of space. Karen was a delight to deal with, nothing was too much trouble. We'll be back for sure.

A perfect place for a family get away!
Moonah Woodlands was the perfect location for our family (spread across four generations) to spend a couple of nights together with a visiting relative from the UK. The house, gardens and pool area were all immaculate and suited us down to the ground. We really liked that the three downstairs bedrooms all had ensuites, which was particularly convenient for Great Grandma and our daughter with her new baby alike. There was plenty of space for all of us to eat, chat, play games, and just 'be' together, whilst also allowing people to spread out if desired. The owner, Karen, communicated with us clearly and promptly from beginning to end and the whole process was super-easy. Would definitely stay here again and happily recommend to others.

A truly beautiful stay in an amazing house!
Moonah Woodlands Resort is the most amazing house! I have spent the past 4 Christmases in Rye and this is definitely the best house I have ever booked.
The attention to detail is so welcoming (toothbrushes and toothpaste left in the bedrooms as well as a bottle of wine left for us to enjoy)
The bedrooms are all beautiful and bright, the kitchen is great for groups as there's enough space for everyone to help. However what puts this house above all others I have stayed in previously is the amazing outdoor area. The pool is huge and gets lots of sunshine all day (there are umbrellas if you want shade). The BBQ is great and the large outdoor table meant that we ate outside every night.
Karen was also a pleasure to deal with- I will definitely stay at Moonah Woodlands Resort again :)
If I had to give one piece of tiny feedback it would be to suggest a big drying rack next to the sink for the pots and pans which can't go in the dishwasher. Other than that it was faultless :)
Thanks for having us!

No stone left unturned. I would and do recommend this spot to any group of friends or families wanting a peaceful holiday spot in Rye. Thank you again Karen. We will be back...again!

Slice of Paradise
This home is the quintessential entertainer!
We spent a wonderful weekend here as a group of 11. From the minute we arrived to the minute we dragged ourselves away, we were in absolute paradise.
Beautifully styled with generous bedrooms and living areas. The indoor/outdoor feel of the home is so relaxing. We will definitely be back.
The pictures just don’t do it justice. Thank you Karen for your hospitality.

Beautiful home, gardens and pool - a wonderful way to relax !
We stayed at this property for 3 nights. There were 12 of us and we had to ring the owner as an additional person dropped in to stay. The owner Karen was very accommodating. She said that it was not an issue and that the person could stay at no additional cost. The property is very large and there are 6 bedrooms and two large living areas and each room has a color theme - it is extraordinary very well done inside. But most of all, we loved the pool area - with all the tree around it. It is like a little oasis and you forget the world when you get there. We used the outdoor hot and cold shower a lot. We loved our little break and plan to return again someday.

Everything was perfect from the coloured themed bedrooms to the stunning resort style pool area. Property is very spacious, 2 large living areas, 6 bedrooms, 2 dining areas, 3 outdoor dining/living areas, balcony around the house, gourmet kitchen well stocked with crockery, cutlery & cooking utensils, great billiard table conveniently located in the main downstairs living area so whether you're in the kitchen or sitting at the dining table or relaxing and watching tv you're altogether. Property has lots of little extra touches like cushions on all outdoor furniture, a welcome pack for each bedroom which included toothbrushes, toothpaste, tissues, bottled water, soap, shampoo & conditioner. We we're also welcomed with a box of chocolates & a bottle of champagne. Gardens are beautifully manicured and very private, you really feel like you're in a paradise haven whilst staying here, we all loved it so much, we've already booked for next year!

Home away from Home
We just got back from staying at this property over the Australia Day long weekend. We had 3 families stay and plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of space for everyone to have their own ‘me time’ without getting under each other’s feet. Plenty of dining places to eat at the property. Two living areas. Beautiful gardens. Welcome packs in each bedroom were great. Quality bed linen and towels and comfortable beds. House has everything you need. Lovely pool area. Extremely good wifi reception. Would definitely return should we down in the Rye area again and would have no hesitation in recommending to others - thanks for a wonderful stay. Naomi, Kristy and families.

Amazing 5 star resort style property with an amazing entertaining area.
We stayed at this property in early December 2018 with another family. The entire property is amazing with a great entertaining area around the pool - which by the way is what you would expect at a 5 start resort. The 8 of us has ample space as the 6 bedrooms have 5 bathrooms some with their own en-suite - the gardens were like being in a tropical country - the 2 living areas also made it great for the kids to have some space when needed - highly recommend the property for a relaxing 5 star experience.
