This was our second time staying at Banyandah and it is by far our favourite dog friendly accommodation. The home has a beautiful indoor fireplace and a fully fenced wrap around backyard, perfect for our dog to explore safely. The home is only a few minutes from the main strip and beautiful walking trails. We look forward to our next stay at Banyandah.

50th birthday.

Our party was made up of 5 adults and one dog. We wanted somewhere special to celebrate a significant birthday and found Banyandah. I was impressed with the downloadable guide before we had even left home, which had instructions for looking after the house, and attractions available.We found the house easily, being near the centre of town but quite tucked away. It is a lovely property with plenty of room for everyone.The house was cool inside, and clean. There were heaters if needed. The kitchen had everything and more. The beds were comfortable.It is the ideal place to chill or be energetic and go on the river walks just across the road. First thing in the morning we enjoyed our first cuppa in the back garden watching all the birds coming to sit on the fence or trees.There was lots of garden for the dog to run around and it was well fenced. As a bonus she made friends with the dog across the road.

A beautiful home where all family is welcome

My husband and I booked Banyandah for our 4 year wedding anniversary. It was just as two and our fur child Buddy. It was the perfect getaway where we could spend quality time together and the backyard was genuinely dog friendly with the property being fully fenced and lots of space. We have already booked our next family stay.

Beautiful weekend retreat

We stayed here for 3 nights and the house has everything you would need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We used the bbq for breakfasts, the fully equipped kitchen for dinners, the fireplace to keep warm, and the board games for a fun few nights. The house had plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 kids, and was located close to the main centre for shops and near the river for walks. The host was excellent with regular communication leading up to our arrival. Highly recommended.

Great birthday stay

The house is just as advertised with all the amenities you could ask for. The decor is lovely and furniture contemporary and comfortable. The fire was beautiful, as we had the first real rain of the season. Cooking facilities are great with a large oven, barbeque and cooktop. We didn't have children or pets with us, however the house has everything you'd need to make your stay fabulous if you did. The bathrooms are beautiful and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The location is perfect and the outlook from the balconies beautiful. Communication was quick and check in easy. We'd certainly stay again.

A very relaxing stay in this amazing property. House had all the comforts we needed to relax. Located next to a bush walk along the river and not too far out of the main strip of Margs it was perfect for our family and most importantly our pooch.

We had a great stay at Banyandah for 3 nights in spring. We had the central fireplace on each night for a beautiful cosy atmosphere. The property manager was friendly and available for our enquiries. Would recommend.

Beautiful house, lovely location

Beautiful house that was nicely presented on our arrival. The hosts were easy to contact if we needed them but everything was wonderful as expected. We were a group of 8 adults staying and having the granny flat made it more spacious, thank you. The only thing the house needs is blinds in the master bedroom and air con. Fans are provided but the weather was a bit warm/humid. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
