A great spot for a short break with teenagers
Very clean and comfortable property - and lovely gardens. The teenagers particularly enjoyed the tennis court - and the space to roam around (as well as the Foxtel).

Sensational colour/peace/tranquility
The perfect weekend getaway - 4 days enjoying the most amazing colour of such beautiful flowers/shrubs. Accommodation is fabulous. 3 generous bedrooms, very comfortable beds/plush towels/bath robes. Newly renovated bathroom, generous shower with a very good water pressure. Separate toilet. Very large lounge with tv/foxtell, view over beautiful gardens/grass area. New kitchen, very functional with just a few items eg. tongs, extra platters/bowls required. Beautiful glass conservatory with lovely glass dining table overlooking gardens. Air-conditioning/heating. Such a delight to have 24 acres of superb gardens to wander around without another person around. The spring colours were just sensational, we could not get enough of the beauty of the gardens of Koonawarra and Denarque. We were so privileged to be able to have the use of this property with our friends. There is a tennis court and croquet facilities. BBQ and pizza oven. A photographers dream.

Amazing Property and Beautiful Home!
We recently stayed at Koonawarra as a group of 6 for a weekend in April 2015 during the Mt Wilson Festival. The property that Koonawarra is on, is amazing, and the house itself is nice and cozy for a group of 6 with a great kitchen and facilities. We all thoroughly enjoyed this stay 100%. As an added bonus the profits of this stay are all donated to charity (FSHD Global Research Foundation) which we thought was a really nice cause to support.
