Stonelea Country Estate

Such an amazing place and a lovely host. Excellent location with a lake and greenery. Loved the place. Must visit of you wanna relax

What’s with all the negative reviews here? Seems more like people come to country looking for Ritz Carlton

What you get here
-cozy & warm cabins
-great owner with excellent hospitality. Very friendly and accommodating
-a very cute and friendly dog patrolling the area (if you are scared of dogs let owner know, is a very obedient and smart dog and he can make sure the dog stays away from you)
-amazing green and swans and geese around you, perfect spot to relax and take in the nature

Will be coming back for sure

I booked a cottage for our family and Ivan the man of the place was so lovely and friendly he was very helpful.
The cottage was lovely and cosy
Could do with a little update inside etc but apart from that will go back

A work in progress. Cabins by the lake with lovely views and walks. Grounds and cabins are being restored so be patient.

Stayed there on New Years Eve 2020.wonderful location, cabin overlooked the lake with ducks, geese, swans, coots and others. Kookaburra and kangaroos in the distance.
Cabin was clean and comfortable, though ageing.
It is VERY self catered
Staff were very friendly and helpful.easy walk and views on the property, including a brilliant hilltop for sunsets.
Good stargazing
good nearby bike rides, State Forest only 6 km away.
Keen to return for a longer stay soon

Expectations. This place, maybe more so than most others - will heavily depend on expectations. We hadn't been to the place before, and wasn't expecting the world - due to price and due to COVID - so we really enjoyed the stay.

If you are looking for an ultra-clean, ultra-tidy, "hotel" type experience - don't bother coming. At least for now. Maybe 6-12 months from now, who knows.

What do you get? You get an authentic "country" experience. Lovely views. Grasses, lakes, trees, sunsets, flowers, animals (geese, birds, ducks, kangaroos,). The cabins are more than spacious enough, with lots of cooling and heating options. The mobile internet coverage is more than passable. No TV. The owners are super-friendly, and will go out of their way to help and support your stay wherever possible.

I'm definitely keen to head back, and stay again with more friends. This is a great place for a few families, or even a few couples. Lots of space, privacy, fresh air, and a quiet stay. Great break from the city, for an extremely good rate.

Stonlea. What can I say? Once upon a time this place was home to majestical gardens and friendly native animals. Would I recommend this place to barack obama? No. Not at all. However, would I reccomend this place to my dead rat? Yes. Stonlea was rich with history and memorable moments, namley those cold mornings hunting for chocolate eggs burried deep in the bushes that fill the magnificent grounds. Although as of late, our mornings are filled with killing insects and learning different languages in order to survive at Stonlea.

Stay. Away.
