The property was perfect for us. It was large airy and bright. The kitchen was well appointed with everything one could possible need. The beds were comfortable. The showers were great. My only criticism is that I felt the house could have been freshly cleaned before we arrived. Some surfaces were sticky and the pots and pans were not very well cleaned as well. But upon saying that property is very liveable and we will return in thefuture wasn’t

Nice property, great location, needs some TLC
Lovely location for the property, I hadn't realised how beautiful Fitzroy Falls was. The place itself is a nice house, great big open plan lounge room and a nice dining room and lounge area with TV and pool table leading onto the garden. The main downside was the cleanliness, while most of the main inside areas were pretty clean the outside - windows, porch area, screens were grubby and need a good clean. Also the bedrooms look tired, marked carpets and there appeared to be no heating in the bedrooms. Not a big issue in late spring but I wouldn't want to stay there in winter unless there's heating I didn't figure out.

Timbalah was a fantastic venue for my birthday celebration. Tim, the owner, was awesome and very kind. We loved the place and it was made even more special by the fact we could take our dog.

Great for dogs
There was 12 of us, so we used the cottage too. The place was clean and the ameneties fine. We had a fantastic time and it felt spacious. Close work to the waterfall but a shame that the cafe there was closed. It was cold and although there is a fire (which was great) and a aircon I don't think I would stay here during winter. It was a very good stay overall only two small issues. We could not find a key to open a side door which made packing and unpacking a little more difficult and also could not find a swich to turn on the roof fans to move the heat from the fire around. It is not really a luxury place but you would not really expect that when they allow dogs.

Seriously lacking TLC
This house has the potential to be great, lots of space and a nice private setting. However the whole property is in a complete state of disrepair. There is an enormous amount of work & clean up needed to bring it up to scratch, inside and out. Owner was lovely!

Wedding accommodation
I stayed here with my family for my wedding at Mali Brae Farm. It was an excellent choice, only a short drive to the venue. Its very peaceful and quiet, the perfect place to relax. We loved sitting around the fireplace, which was especially cosy. The beds are super comfortable and rooms nice and warm. Lots of games and a pool table for entertainment. Tim was always available if needed, and responded to texts and communication quickly and efficiently. We will absolutely stay here again when in the area. Highly recommend.

Lovely retreat in the country
Very spacious house with cosy fire and comfy couches, surrounded by national park. Walking distance to Fitzroy Falls and easy drive into nearby towns. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed watching the birds. Lovely place to get away from it all and unwind.

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.

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

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.
