We had our first stay away as a family of four in Leonie’s place. It was extremely kid friendly and very pet friendly. The books made it feel very homely. Our eldest (2 and a half) loved the trampoline. A lovely stay.

Had a fantastic stay at Leonie’s with our young family. Such a great place and property. The kids loved the toys in the bunk room and the backyard trampoline. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay for families with young kids! The trampoline was a big novelty for our boys (both under 5) and they loved the yard space for riding bikes and playing. The kids enjoyed playing bowls while we had fun with a game of badminton. The main bed mattress was incredibly comfortable - we had the best sleep. Overall a really enjoyable stay thank you.

Great location for a long weekend getaway. The place was thoughtfully set up to cater to both our dog and our 1-year-old, which made the stay genuinely relaxing. Leonie was wonderful to deal with — incredibly responsive and made every effort to accommodate us and ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay. Everything was exactly as advertised, but the level of care and service went well beyond expectations. We’d happily stay again and highly recommend it.
