Marvellous place for a large family gathering. Beautifully decorated with eye for fine detail
Peter was always available for any questions or requests. A truly beautiful and well set out property. The children loved the In ground trampoline which was safe and also the spa being in cooler weather. There was so much room for outdoor activities and a fire pit for the cooler evenings plus the fireplace inside. Would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Family Getaway!
We had an amazing time at this property in Fingal! Summer or Winter, this house is wonderful. Plenty of room for sleeping - kids and adults alike. Great fireplace areas - inside and outside. Our kids really loved the outside area - trampoline and cubby house got lots of use. Even when it rained we just relaxed by the fire and there was plenty of room for us all to sit and chat. Kitchen is marvellous and a wonderful dining area. Highly recommend. Will definitely come back in the warmer months to utilise the pool/spa area and the outdoor area. Peter was amazing with communication also.

Beautiful weekend getaway!
We stayed for three nights at this gorgeous estate. The grounds were so beautiful and well manicured. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the surroundings while the children were kept busy and very happy with the in-ground trampoline, cubby, spa, pool, kicking the footy and even just running around in the big open space out front! This also meant parents could actually just sit back and chat while we watched them play. We walked to the brewery with our whole crew which took a while but was a great experience even meeting some horses that were sharing the same track. The house itself is styled perfectly and was a cosy place to be by the fireplace on our rainy afternoon. Great place for a couple of families to share some rare quality time together. Thank you for having us!

Excellent luxurious property for big groups
We stayed at this Fingal Property with a total of 8 adults and 9 children. The property was absolutely beautiful. The kids loved the outdoor area, the inground trampoline was excellent, and the pool was wonderful too. Rooms were very well presented and the kitchen was perfect for such a large number of people and great for entertaining. Peter was excellent to deal with and always answered texts promptly. The only minor suggestion I have is a dustbuster would be great help for general tidying up rather than bringing out the vacuum each time after a meal. Also maybe having some board games at hand would be very appreciated. Would love to stay here again though.

Fantastic stay. Beautiful house and great set up.
A fantastic stay for us. We had a few families gather at this place and it was perfect. There was plenty of room inside the house and it was very well set up (bedding arrangements; ample kitchenware; tv room and Foxtel, and separate living areas) and outside was spacious. The trampoline and pool kept the kids entertained for hours, as did the open space out the back and front. Everything just worked which made our stay very enjoyable and relaxing. Peter was accessible during our stay and promptly responded to our queries. Would highly recommend this place.

Very spacious and well furnished- fantastic space for a big group
We had a great time at Peter’s place. It’s very big and our family thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Small problem with the gas but Peter was on top of it and came down to apologise personally with champagne which was a great surprise. Lovely host!!!

Simply Stunning!
The Windmill is by far the best holiday rental we have ever stayed at. The property itself is simply stunning and extremely tranquil with lush green lawns and manicured gardens. The house is excellently serviced with all the mod-cons and every room is furnished with good quality, comfortable furniture and linen. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of cookware, servingware, cutlery, crockery and drinkware (there was even a whole drawer full of plasticware for the kiddos) that you didn't ever need to wait for the dishwasher to finish - there were plenty more clean dishes in the drawers and cupboards. Everything about the property felt luxurious and our guests, both young and old, all felt more than comfortably catered for. The kids were kept entertained all day with the in-ground trampoline and cubby house, whilst the grown-ups enjoyed relaxing indoors and outdoors, and come evening-time the fire pit was a big hit with both young and old. The only downside was that our time outside had to end by 10pm-11pm as any noise made in the backyard would travel straight up to the neighbouring home. However, this wasn't a huge issue as after factoring the noise-curfew into our plans we made sure to start the fire pit early enough to enjoy more time around it before moving indoors by 11pm and ensuring after that time any smokers in the group stepped out to the front porch for their "breath of fresh air". Our whole party had a wonderful time at The Windmill and I received many thanks and praise from everyone for finding such an amazing property for our little getaway. It was hard saying goodbye when it was time to leave but we are all hoping to find another excuse to come back for another stay, especially once the swimming pool has been installed. A huge thanks to Peter and family for having us and providing us with everything we needed and more!
