A peaceful environment with great facilities

Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and plenty of outdoor seating. Superb range of cooking vessels, plates etc. We would recommend having more chairs or couches in the living room... what was there were not particularly comfortable and seating was not sufficient for our group.

Holiday

The house was beautiful the lawns could have been mowed. We couldn’t fine the BBQ and wish we had the internet couldn’t fine the hair dryer but apart from those things was a lovely stay we would recommend to family and friends thank you for having us.

Native bush splendor

A restorative and relaxing few days in this beautifully restored character home. We loved having our fur baby with us and the house is well set up for that. The native bush-lined driveway is magical, and we loved walking around the property's gorgeous grounds to the sounds of birds singing. Paradise.
