May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and overall a great stay. Loved the outdoor wood fired bath, the location (although photo's on booking website not completely accurate with regards to view and location on property) and view. Did a lovely walk through the bushland to the rear of the property.Could have done with a bit more information on where exactly we could walk on the property and a small broom would be useful in the house just to keep the space clean given you are located in the middle of a paddock!Would have loved to know more about the products made on the property such as the herbal teas and honey.Overall we had great stay. ##### Sam D.
