Exceptional - Karen
The instant we walked in the house, we felt a sense of ease and relaxation. Very tastefully renovated with wonderful kitchen facilities. Location fantastic for accessing Mt Barney and other walking areas. We will be back!
A wonderful stay - Mark
A beautiful, tranquil location overlooking the valley. The house and rooms were spacious with everything you need for a day or a weeks stay. Being pet friendly with an enclosed yard was a real bonus. The complimentary inclusion of local produce was a lovely and delicious touch.
Just beautiful - Rita
Such a lovely house on beautiful property!! The house had the prettiest mugs and great cooking utensils, perfect for a staycation with friends. Bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable and mornings here were lovely, you can see kangaroos in the field.
