Kangaroo Hill estate made the perfect weekend escape for our family. It has stunning views over the hills with floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, and a log fire to keep the winter chill away. Lots of kangaroos around during our stay. Great to watch in the daytime, but be careful driving on the roads at night.
Frank was a diligent and helpful host, who left us to ourselves and responded quickly to all queries we sent.
The house has lots of space, with plenty of bedrooms throughout. The pool room is separate to the main house, and contains pool and foosball tables which were great fun. Wifi was available throughout the house and worked with no issues.
The property is quite large, and we were able to go for walks around the fields and dam. The views are great, but the hills are deceptively steep so be ready for an ankle workout.
St Andrews markets are open a short drive away on Saturdays, which were a good place to eat out for lunch.
There is a winery literally next door. Wedgetail Estate winery has its cellar door open on the Sunday we stayed, but they only open once a month. I recommend dropping in for tastings if they are open.
Overall, a great place to stay. Recommended!
