Long weekend stay
Very disappointed as property advertised as 5 bedroom house and 2 bathroom but while reaching there realised that its 3 bedroom and 1 bathroom rest 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom is considered as separate cottage . Booked accommodation for 6 people ended up sleeping on floor as one room out of 3 bedroom had very small bed for 2 decent sized people also bed frame wasn't wiped/clean properly we could able to see dust particles on frame and strage smell was coming from bed, we could not able to get access to other rooms as owners son and girlfriend were staying on next cottage for weekend which was supposed to consider part of 5 bedroom house. Overall very disappointed with stay. We have booked so many holiday accommodations with stays but never had this kind of experience before where given access to 3 beds but properly been advertised and booked as 5 bedroom house .

Beautiful property and location
My friends and I stayed here over the long weekend and had a wonderful stay. The property has beautiful views from the alfresco and was a comfortable stay for all of us. It was nice to enjoy some offline time too while we were there! The owners were very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions we had!

My friends and I all had a lovely, relaxing time over the two days we stayed at Rayfields.
Rayfields was enjoyable, cosy and very relaxing with the most beautiful surrounds. Would definitely recommend the place. Only a few small requests: provide better fire utensils like poker, prongs, dust pan and kitchen sponges please.

Perfect Escape at Rayfields
Beautiful property, perfect for our winter getaway. The views from the property are breathtaking and the home is very cosy and comfortable. Lovely and remote, but so close to Berry and Kangaroo Valley. We had a lovely time and would visit again.
