Highly recommend! ⭐️
A very lovely and quiet place. Arrived at the place to find a basket full of goodies, as well as in the fridge. The place was very clean and we found the washing machine very handy on our holidays. They also had colouring/art books and board games for entertainment. This place was situated in a nice little spot, very close to town but also in a quiet area. Communication with Marcus was very easy and overall it was a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend this place & have already done so. We look forward to more future stays!

A lovely weekend retreat
A truly lovely stay at Balavil on Lines. So much more than we expected. The place is extremely clean, tidy, and the decor so calming. We felt so welcome from the minute we arrived. The beautiful music playing as we walked in the door was just perfect. The welcome basket was incredible! So close to many lovely places, and the landscapes wherever you drive are incredible. We only had one wish…. That we could have stayed longer. Thank you Marcus for providing such a lovely retreat for us at a reasonable price. We’d love to stay again some day.

Very welcoming especially the basket of goodies and not to mention what was in the fridge. Cupboards also full of essentials. Made it more special as we travelled with our two adult daughters, they had one room completely detached from ours. Only thing that we didn’t like were all the spiders

Great Place to Stay
This was a spacious cottage, perfect for a weekend stay. All amenities were exactly as described, plus some and the welcome basket of goodies was outstanding. The smell of the roses outside the front door, just enriched the experience - Definitely recommend it, and I will be back! Thanks

Home away from home
It was so nice at the end of the day to come “home” to this comfortable, attractive accommodation. I hadn’t shopped yet and was surprised to find a welcoming basket with bread fruit butter jam wine etc. Saved me the stress. 4 minutes to shops but with a country vibe

A great place for a couple that enjoys exceptional accommodation, hospitality, convenient location
We are greatly impressed and it is well worth the money and the location which is only two minutes away from Strath. We will definitely be back. Marcus is a wonderful host and understands couple who want a quality experience and those who will look after and respect the property. The gardens are delightful, and the birdlife is prolific. It is quiet and the clean air is so calming.

Excellent well fitted out accommodation
My partner and myself enjoyed a 3 night stay. The accommodation was very clean and had everything that you would need to enjoy your stay. The food hamper was well stocked to enable us to cook a good breakfast each day and enjoy an evening wine and cheese. We could not fault the accommodation in any way and would recommend it. We would definitely use it again in the future when visiting relatives in the town.

Peaceful retreat at Willyaroo
We were impressed by this property, it was even nicer than what we had thought from the details online! Marcus thoughtfully provided some breakfast/snacking provisions which meant we didn't have to go right back out to the supermarket. The property was peaceful, we loved being out of the town area. It felt clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. It was a nice bonus that the table expanded to allow board games to fit!

Xmas/ NY Getaway
My Mum, Brother & I enjoyed our time at Balavil on Lines. The accommodation was clean, tasteful decorated & well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable weeks stay. Marcus is a polite & approachable host who made sure our needs were met & our stay was comfortable. The welcome basket was lovely & we enjoyed all the delicious contents including a full dozen of double yolk eggs. The beds & pillows were very comfortable & I’m even considering getting a Koala mattress for myself now. I loved the wing backed chairs. They were just the right size for me to sit in comfortably so I’m also putting one of these on my wish list. The property is well situated & central to all areas & attractions of interest for tourists. We found the locals to be friendly & obliging. We enjoyed the Xmas light display just up the road & lights on the tree in the well kept gardens outside the holiday house. Some suggestions for improvement include providing BBQ tools, & ice cube trays. We ended up buying our own long handled tongs & ice trays at Woolies. My Mum stayed in the guest suite on side of the main house & absolutely adored the ensuite bathroom so one like this is on her wish list now. She did mention that a welcome addition to the suite would be a small bar fridge & coffee/tea making facilities so she could have had refreshments when retiring to her room for the night or first thing in the morning before making her way over to the house. Overall or stay was enjoyable & I’d recommend Balavil to others. Thankyou Marcus.
