Will never stay here again
Our stay was unfortunately marred by several issues, primarily related to the owner's behavior and the property's condition. From the outset, we felt unwelcome and surveilled, with undisclosed cameras, contrary to Stayz's terms and conditions. Additionally, the owner was constantly watching and checking up on us, making us feel like we were being chaperoned. The owner's early morning disturbances, such as pool cleaning and lawn mowing, were disruptive and inconsiderate. We were even woken up by the owner knocking on our door mid-stay to demand we move our car for lawn mowing, only for her to delay the task until we were outside enjoying the day, exposing us to excessive dust. We were happy to pay the fee for the additional guests that we mentioned might be coming, but one of them didn't end up staying and the other one didn't stay the second night due to being made to feel uncomfortable by the owner. The day after our stay, the owner sent a passive-aggressive message expressing disappointment that we hadn't paid the additional fee. However, if she had simply asked or spoken to us kindly, she would have learned that the additional guests didn't even end up staying. The property itself was adequate, though it didn't quite match the outdated photos. The showers lacked adequate water pressure, making for an unpleasant experience. The pool was unclean, requiring us to clean the filter ourselves. We strongly believe that a vacation rental should provide a relaxing and enjoyable

Relaxing stay
A relaxing stay, quiet location, plenty of room in the house, as well as in the vast grounds in the middle of nature. A 15-minute drive to all the shops and tourist attractions in Bundaberg. The host was very responsive, and the caretaker was very friendly and helpful as well.

Very Good Farm house to visit !
Geoff is a kind man who is keen to show us around. He even voluntarily conducted a great & wonderful “pet snake” show to the kids. We just needed to remind our kids that wild snakes could be dangerous. Elli is a nice and helpful person. She showed us around the house and also told us everything we needed to know about it. Cleanness: the house is generally clean and well maintained (90% good), toilets are very clean. The beds are really comfy to sleep in and are well prepared. Multimedia Room : This is a real plus (with working Netflix & YouTube ):some working tips are to choose “Game” as input source in the Denon AV system. Another tip is to always choose hdmi 2 in the screen projector. The huge screen projector is a real highlight. There are loads of animals that are sure to interest the kids! Cows, Chickens & Honey Bees around. However better have insects repellent first before going around. We will be even happier if less insects (like mosquitoes)are trying to go inside the house. Lastly, during hot summer times, the 3-beds bedroom could be quite hot because it is the only room without air-conditioner. The other 3 rooms have very good air-conditions running well. Overall a comfortable farmhouse to stay.

Our group of six adults stayed for the weekend to attend a wedding. The house was sublime! Plenty of sleeping options, large kitchen and dining area, even a media room! There was a lovely pool area, large gardens, visiting and feeding the cows was a highlight also. Our hosts were so accommodating and welcoming, I would highly recommend!

Ellie and Geoff were fantastic hosts. Our stay at Ellimatta Farmhouse was perfect. All facilities of home, great kitchen and large dining table, big screen and wifi. The house was very clean, we felt so at home. Large property to explore, cute little calves. The pool area was lovely to sit of an afternoon, and bbq in pool area for an easy dinner. We will definitely going back to Ellimatta.

Lovely and peaceful and relaxed. I feel some things in the property need updating. Shower curtains are a pet hate so maybe new sliding door. Black stuff under mixer tap in kitchen doesn't look too good. And a few things like that would be an improvement
