Perfect retreat
Harry and Elle were very responsive to my myriad of questions which ended up resulting in a beautiful, easy, relaxed mid-week retreat for myself and my work mates. We were really comfortable in their beautiful home and would highly recommend a stay at Noonameena.

Brilliant house, perfect location, amazing amenities.
This was the perfect weekend getaway location, well positioned next to the Sherbrooke forrest and walking tracks, but also the property itself surrounded by gardens and tall trees. Very nice feel and the place itself had everything thought out. Great entertaining spaces and facilities along with good communication from the hosts. Definitely a hidden gem. Will be back again :)
