We had a wonderful one month stay at Inchfield over the Xmas/ New Year’s 2021/ 2022 period. We were a family of 5 (3 adults & 2 children aged 9 and 13) and the house was perfect for us.
Plenty of space and rooms. Each adult had one room each and the boys both shared a room. All rooms were spacious and beds were comfy. My 2 boys loved the pool and the toys/ books that Nicki had thoughtfully provided.
The house itself had all the amenities for cooking, entertaining and relaxing. The pool deck/ bbq area was convenient to keep an eye on the kids while having a cuppa/ wine/ dinner, etc.
The location was great! A short walk to the many shops in Mosman, supermarkets and amenities, and buses that go to the city, the zoo or Balmoral beach.
There is an oval just a few minutes away where my boys spent every evening playing cricket and football. Nice walking paths to the beach from the oval as well, though might be difficult for younger children or people with limited mobility.
Nicki’s communication prior, during and after our stay was superb and she was very kind to put up a Xmas tree for our boys as it was the first Xmas we were spending away from home.
If there’s one tiny thing to mention is that the workings of the air-con was a bit hard to figure out, even after we followed the instructions. We felt the aircon airflow wasn’t as strong as we were used to. But, having said that, there was good, natural airflow and breeze throughout the house and that was sufficient during our stay.
The house is also in the vicinity of a croquet oval so you may get the noise of those playing the game in the mornings. It wasn’t unpleasant but just something to note.
Overall we had a fantastic stay at Inchfield, and I’d recommend it especially if you’d like to have a “home away from home” feel to your stay. Nicki, the host, was such a joy to communicate with.
